Nyala Tribeby ~miasus

Digital Art / Paintings & Airbrushing / Illustrations / Conceptual

Centaur design assignment for Lars.

I didn't include in the picture, but they use spears made of their dead ancestors and parents' horns.
Kind of gruesome, but still not as gruesome as behind story about a Cubone's skull helmets...

Nyala, which is South African antelope

they are gorgeous animals.

~Imrooniel Jan 6, 2012

Hmph, not really gruesome if you'd think about it: shamanic tribes often belived that in body parts lie peace of power of living creature. That's why shamans were often wearing talismans made of bones of mighty animals, eagle's feathers were worn by brave native american warriors and such.

Therefore, if their Centaur's horns are strong its clearly visible that weapons made of them are not only practical but also bear a strong spiritual connection...

It is true! I recently read from an article that many from some parts of Africa to sell and buy body parts of albino Africans because it is supposed to bring luck if you own it. So many albinos have to live in fear of getting kidnapped...

~Imrooniel Jan 8, 2012

Well, it is indeed unbelievable what can people do in the name of their beliefs. I just wonder... How can they tell that said body part was of albino african and not just of a white man? 0_o
