Chiron - The Centaur by Kat-Anni on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

"You said your name was Chiron. Are you really..." _He smiled down at me. "_The Chiron from the stories? Trainer of Hercules and all that? Yes, Percy, I am." "But, shouldn't you be dead?" Chiron paused, as if that question intrigued him. "I honestly don't know about should be. The truth is, I can't be dead. [...]" I thought about being a teacher for three thousand years. It wouldn't have made my Top Ten Things to Wish For list. "Doesn't it ever get boring?" "No, no," he said. "Horribly depressing, at times, but never boring."

Hey there, guys! Yes, I have too much free time..? :XD: Well alright, here goes Chiron, the eternal teacher for heroes. He's looking up a hill in Camp Half Blood and thinking "What the hell are they doing up there?", ready to check on it, just in case Demigods can be so chaotic sometimes :giggle: I bet he has a hard time teaching them but I think the most time, he enjoys it.

This drawing really gave me a hard time, mainly because I totally SUCK at drawing horses. But I need to improve, so I tried to start by doing the horse half. Okay, I cheated. I had a reverence, an awesome one for sure (see down by the references). Other than that, I tried to make him look friendly but also old (well in his later 40's maybe). The beard also killed me and for some reason, his eyes as well. Don't mention it...please? ^^;

Anyway, really hope you like it! :meow:
Love ya! ~ :heart: :tighthug:
