They fire bows.
I always imagined them doing the Naruto run majestically across the plains.
I think it depends partially on where it sits on the centaur scale.
they clack together two halves of split open coconuts to confuse the enemy
Where’d they get the coconuts?
A swallow could’ve carried it
And yes it was African.
Ah, but African swallows are non-migratory
It’s working!
Corvids
Ya know what? Fair.
holy shit 6 legged bovine thing
They shoot you with their bow.
Maybe they Naruto run while galloping
That is absolute nightmare fuel. This image alone is enough reason to ban ai.
Credit? You can have my upvote if this isn’t “genAI”.
probably AI, since naruto running isn’t done with 🤌 hand
edit: also, very realistic face, not very realistic hair (both on the person and horse’s tail) and even less realistic ear
This is just a random picture he made for the meme. He’s not trying to sell it and it doesn’t replace an actual artist. IMO that’s an accetable use of AI.
There’s no acceptable use for something that can only exist by violating the copyright terms for millions of artists.
The company violated those terms, not OP.
This is AI. My past Photoshop skills were laughable in comparison, lol.
Making ‘bad’ art is how you get better. genAI will never get better or create anything good looking or original.
Edit: I’d rather see any real people’s ‘bad’ attempts than even 1 genAI slop.
Well said. Just about every good artist has to start as a bad artist.
Easier said than done, I suffered a stroke so I can’t feel my dominant right arm. Ever since I do most work left handed.
I would’ve rather seen a crude Paint abomination by you than whatever that is. It would at least had some soul.
Perfect
ai slop
This but the kids from Weapons.
Immediately what came to mind. It’s gotta be this.
They hold a polearm. Always.
or a bow
Or my axe!
Finally the correct answers have arrived
They shoot arrows with a bow?!
With the whole upper half bobbing up/down like a horse nodding it’s head while it runs.
By that description, I imagine a centaur walking like a chicken.
It’s my failure, not yours.
I might need to make chicken-centaurs in my game. Comical at first until you realize they’re raptors.
oh no not a 4 legged, hooved, larger utahraptor
does the horse part have fur and the raptor part have feathers or does one of them just take over the other?
Totally valid question.
I’m picturing it as a six-limbed owlbear that is slightly humanoid… so it’s a clusterfuck hybrid.
insert centaur baby meme
Noodle arms
This is just another reminder how weird a centaur is as a concept. Vertebrates don’t have more than 4 limbs. Land vertebrates mostly have 4 legs, but the structure of their forelegs is very similar to human arms and wrists. Bats have wings, but their wings are basically arms with a membrane of skin between the bones. Even a Naga (human / snake hybrid) makes more sense than a centaur.
Also, think how unbalanced a centaur would be. Instead of a trunk that merely has to support a neck and a head, a centaur has to support a full half-human right at the front of its body. That would shift the centre of mass way forward, so most of the weight would be on the middle limbs. That would affect its ability to gallop, because in a gallop most of the running power of a horse comes from the back legs. If the back legs are almost completely unloaded because all the weight is at the front, the back legs wouldn’t be able to push with much force.
A more realistic centaur would have the trunk weight shifted backwards, so instead of having a human torso replacing its neck and head, it would be like a rider on a horse but without the rider’s legs or the horse’s head.
Some vertebrates, even some HUMANS, have more than four limbs.
Fun fact, horse heads/necks weigh about as much as human torsos do. Depending on the horse, and the human.
Modern horses are fuckin huge. It’s not unreasonable to think that a horse body could support a human upper body without much additional musculature.
That just raises the question about how big a human torso would be mounted on a modern horse’s torso. A huge clydesdale mare with a typical jockey’s torso would look pretty ridiculous. But, maybe a clydesdale-type-centaur would have an Andre-the-giant torso, or maybe something even bigger. Maybe it would be a humanoid torso which, if it had legs, would stand 4m tall.
But, even if it is an Andre the Giant head, imagine how much grass he’s going to have to eat to keep his body fed. Andre has a big mouth compared to me, but it’s still small compared to a horse.
A human torso’s weight would be almost inconsequential compared to a whole ass horse body, not to mention the human part has abs and shit and will be coordinating with the horse part, cause it’s all one creature. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a ridiculous creature, I just think it could theoretically work
Hmm, humans swing their arms while running to counteract angular movement. Presumably, the horse undercarriage wouldn’t have this problem, because there’s more legs in an offset motion and just some distance between the pairs of legs to hold the body straight.
But horses nod their heads during gallop, so maybe the centaurs would do a little chug-chug motion with their arms instead.
This is a great anwser, actually
this is how centaurs are usually animated i think
Steam Deck.
Damn that’s cool
I have visual references
