Very generous!
Wow -- to offer something like this to the community (as unexpectedly ? explosive as the response has been }
is very generous, fantastic, and creates some good art to boot! }
Allow me to add to your backlog, if I may... }
I will even be greedy with two requests.
I leave it up to you for poses et al... and feel free to tweak a bit as you see fit for artisticness }
I don't know if you prefer long-winded descriptions or point form... here's the long winded versions (and yes, they are both full of youthful exuberance -- just a coincidence of starting campaigns, I swear!):
Standing at just under 7 feet in height, Timmoth is a young and powerfully built centaur. His horse-like lower torso is covered in a chestnut-coloured coat of thin fur, a colour matched by his long hair atop his human torso, tied behind his head in a long ponytail. A certain grace and ease belies his huge form. He carries with am unmistakable air of youth, out to see the world, though he has also learned to comport himself quite well when the situation merits.
Timmoth's armaments are a sight to behold, each more finely crafted than one might expect for a wanderer or a centaur. His bow, large for even a beast of his size, is built from powerful strips of darkwood, laminated together with expert care. Laden with elvish script, there is no mistaking its origin. Similarly, his centaur-sized halberd is adorned with dwarvish runes, the mighty axe-head securely fixed to a haft banded with metal for reinforcement. The base of halberd bears a flared metal point, as though two large spear-heads had been crossed together.
The chain ‘shirt’ armour worn by Timmoth is also of fine quality, though this time of human hands. Crafted by the famous fine leathersmiths and metal workers of Khallas, the armour bridges well the transition from torso to horse torso, removing little of the centaur's natural flexibility there. The alloy armour is also snug enough that Timmoth wears a surcoat over both his halves, affording better protection from the elements as well as allowing him to better blend into the natural surroundings.
Moving accross the land, Timmoth ensures he is well equipped. He carries two often laden saddle bags and pouches across his equine back, with a a waterskin and quivers next to each. When not employing it in combat, his halberd rests alongside the top of his right saddlebag. Across his back he carries another quiver and his bow, and a dagger rests sheathed in the strap across his chest.
And the second
Before you stands Thelil. A young adult of only 114 years of age, he still carries with him a certain spring of youthful excitement that has not yet been extinguished. For an elf, he stands tall and built at 5 foot 2 inches, with the customary long hair and dark green eyes. What first draws your eyes, however, is the large pair of wings, the delicate white limbs springing from his shoulder blades. His wings a recent development for him, and having never spent any time with winged creatures, Thelil’s wings at rest are more perpendicular (straight back) to his back then one might expect.
Thelil wears a green hooded surcoat over leather armour (both modified for his winged nature). Using a strapping system that wraps around his shoulders as well as down the centreline between his wings, a large sack rests under his wingroots (in the small between his back and wing edges). A sturdy quiver attached along its bottom side, ringed with metal and possessing several attachment points, augments this sack. A composite short bow and heavy mace are often attached to the quiver, along with a full complement of arrows.
Carried with care, Thelil’s double sword includes two wooden sheaths that securely enclose each blade, giving the sword the guise of a thickened staff. The entire sword ensemble is very carefully crafted, with polished hardwood sheaths, beauty-through-function handguards and a carved wooden handgrip. A small engraving of ancient text adorns one of the sheaths, while braided cords hang from each end of the grip. When drawn, the sheaths are stored in a compartment just rightly made for them in the quiver.

Thelil tends to comport himself in a stately, or noble-like manner. In many respects, he is also knightly in his aims, helping those in need and who cannot defend themselves. Thelil remains calm and focused through most situations, and rarely loosing his cool in confrontations. His comportment is likely born partially a reaction to his treatment during his rough time amongst the humans, as a poor ‘child’; he is acting 'nobly' in the face of other’s distain, acting 'better' than them, and genuine wish to help out others in need. His martial training has also given him a feel for focused and calm action, such that though he may take much patiently, when he decides to act, the act is swift and decisive. His speech follows his actions, and is usually careful and proper. Whenever possible, he will be sure to dress in fine clothing, though certainly not to the excess of the aristocrats.
Thanks a tonne! }
