HIPPOCAMPI

Finally, I've finished inking a project (started in July) that I did in Saul Chernick's class, Drawing From The Bestiary at The Observatory. For more praise of the course and to see an anatomy project done in class, visit my Equine Time post.

You'll notice the pun-ish use of very brainy looking brain coral, since the hippocampus is not only a part of the brain but also a mythological half horse, half fish creature. In this case I cheated and made the hindquarters of these "sea-horses" from eels. Making this drawing really satisfied my inner 13-year-old girly-horse-crush!
