Trying to get better at these. 

I just started the Talita walk last night. Bird-like head stabilization on so large an animal is kind of eerie? Also it's very satisfying to watch the huge mass of back muscles rolling over the mid shoulder. 

Poor Shyam has to take almost 3.5 strides for every Talita stride. Here's my proposed solution to that issue:

Oh, seeing Talita’s movements with her head stabilized like that and her gait so smooth and slinky really brings home the “large predator” feeling, like I can 100% see the “tiger horse” description now this is so cool. Fantastic work with the muscle movements and love how you can see the hexapod body movement even when she’s holding her upper torso upright, I feel like nobody ever animates centaurs like that and I wish they would.

Question, what's the vent looking thing on the side of Talita's body, behind her ribs?

It's the excurrent nostril. Air goes through her respiratory system one way, kind of like a gill, and that's where it exits. https://jayrockin.tumblr.com/post/658850919260307456/

I love Shyam holding onto her own tail

I know this is an older post, but I was reading up on how birds do head stabilization and learned that that’s why pigeons bob their heads when they walk. Do centaur brains have multiple modes of vision processing, or is her quad/hex-type movement just smooth enough for it to be more like birds’ flight mode than their awkward bipedal walk-mode?
