Amazing build and nice shooting stance!

I take it the slapstick humor, and funny links have offended huh? I'll go back to the "great job" comments then. Z

Haha no not at all buddy. I had a good laugh but couldn't think of funny comeback. Which job are you referring to? This moc or the other one you mentioned? ;) hope you are well mate. How is the classic space moc coming on?

Wow Brothers Brick that's awesome :D. Thanks for letting me know Ape! I was wondering why I had received 300 more views since the last time I looked.

Wow, this is superb! I love his stance.

They found it a bit late, but this is on The Brothers Brick today!!

Wow, that's awesome, Joe, especially the wings. Great job! And Merry Christmas! <<<=

Haha. Well I will admit that I am partial to watching a bit of pole dancing ;) will check my emails later tonight.

Awesome job! Love it!

All i can say is:wow! You got the shape of the horse perfectly, and he's elegantly poised!

lol glanced at the thumbnail and presumed it was just a minifig, so much cooler.

:0

Wonderfull. Truly wonderfull.

Thanks guys glad you like it :D

I'm not a fan of mythological creatures, but I have to admit that you did a very nice job with this model! Nice overall shape, interesting details and good use of pieces. Well played!

Well done sculpture, the wings are impressive!

Nice job on the bow!

Wow thanks for the comments guys. I always try to make a dynamic pose but sometimes it doesn't always work. @ William - thanks, whatever you do don't stop building. :D

Wow!

Wow, your builds always really catch my eye - I think it's the poses they strike - just brilliant.

That is very interesting work, there. Looks creepy but very dynamic and moveable. Fantastic!

Those were the days were't they.... =D

Yes, I'll take the golf. I am sending you a crate to box it up in right now, to ship over the pond. Also, I must insist that you vacuum up the rear seats, as I know how a couple of young kids can find a way to drive candy into places that candy isn't supposed to go! XD. Z

Sweet...

Beautiful! It's like you put the best of several of your sculptures into one MOC - that's what a centaur represents as a being.

This inspires me to build more but also makes me think I should never build again. I would never even think to build this, especially this way - absolutely stunning!

ravishingly beautiful!

Wow Thanks guys I really appreciate it, @ Chris - Alas the back seats have been commandeered by the kids. I remember life before kids when the back seat was used for completely different activities and I used to drive Candy into places where…

Wow this is the coolest looking centaur ever!

Awe inspiring

AWESOME! love the wings

The muscular body of that centaur is sensational, so minimalistic but still powerful :) When it no longer looks like lego you know it's good.

Wow! Excellent and clean sculpting. A true gem!

Kinda more of the same isn't it? I recommend you quit your job, sell the second car, buy about 10K in LEGO, and throw down some revolutionary new MOC's. Just a suggestion Joe. Just a suggestion. Z

I've been inactive, but im' still there. good moc thought.

@ Senator - yeah the legs do have gaps so they are poseable, they look good in some poses but not all. @ Moodswim – you are so right, looking at them now they do look a bit small. To be honest I think the whole horse bit is a bit small compared to the human torso. Thanks for the feedback guys, I will factor that into the next animal project.

Ok point taken this is effectively a combination of previous mocs. I accept your challenge and will write my letter of resignation asap. Anyone wanna buy a second hand golf GTi?

Breathtaking!! This is a little piece of art!! The body of the "horse" is so dynamic and so well-balanced with the good-looking human part... Great work on the wings, too. Impressive build.

Amazing work mate! Glad you're finding the time to build again. We missed you ;-) This is really cool, love the bow, it's genius!

For me.., this is your "The Best Ever" MOC.

This build definitely deserves all the likes it's getting. Love the overall shaping, especially the wings (as others have stated). My only little nit-pick would be the hooves; they seem a bit small. My suggestion would be to use headlight bricks with a cheese slope attached to the front of each. Just an idea.

Pretty good! The rear legs are a bit too gap-ridden for me, but the rest is spiffy. I really like that bow, full of imaginary energy, all pent up and ready to blow.

Beautifully sculpted, great job.

Thanks Riccardo and Larry :D

Really cool

Great posability, and a cool figure to go along with it! The bow is really quite nice as well :) 5/5 as usual

Thank you all for the wonderful comments, I am astounded by the response to this one. I wish I could have responded to everyone personally, but I was busy all day yesterday. I will try to fly by your pages over the next week. I am very please with it but as ever there are areas that need improvement.

This would look really wonderful on my desk, hehe. Such an amazing work.

Awesome! great poseability!

Beautifully sculpted with an excellent sense of motion. The wings are an obvious high point, but I like how you did the bow and arrow too.

I was impressed with your Black Panther, but this is so much more! I like the wings the best - very functional and real. Great job!

Impressive, I really like the bow!

Another flawless one! From far away the wing looked like bionicle, just a testament to what you do! Good inspiration for the Bow wielding creation I'm working on!

Your build was worth the wait, MortalSwordsman. You just stepped up in the LEGO MOC building world with this build.

Very impressive execution of a centaur, I love the style applied to this MOC, beautiful work :D

Impressive style and lifelike action! You really captured the form and movement in this. Awesome!

dynamic!

This is one of those kinds of builds that leaves me speechless. I've just been scolling up and down, up and down.....! :)

wow this is amazing well done

Thanks guys it really means a lot. @ Lwc guy - who's tom? ;) @ Frank - thanks mate, oh yes I am thinking of an update to my Slayer bike.

wow! it s really cool to see your pieces evolve! I m thinking of the kind of statue that I d like best, as I feel you could do anything, but, the one I quoted still stands for now, do you have parts for a motorcycle?

I thought i recognized your work :-) Excellent shaping of the body, very nice wings and i too like that bow. Beautiful build, a real work of art.

Stellar work, really amazing shaping on all aspects!

That is one cool creation! Love the wings on it.

WOW. That's really awesome Tom. I'm loving the sense of motion.

Beautiful work.

Spectacular!

Epic!

Epic!

Epic man! :D

WOW! Fantastic work, it looks amazing!

It would be worth to build just a horse from it for bionicle-scaled warriors. This is by large margin better than any Lego horse I ever seen.

Truly awesome wing techniques, I love the posing and the sculpting as well ;)

Sorry for late comment,I hope you are well :).Its brilliant! I love how you created the legs and body but the most eyecatching thing for me is the arrow.Its very well done!The whole sculpture looks neat and clean.Keep them coming mate!

Lovely design.

Thanks Tim, I spent a lot of time on the legs getting the length and articulation right. Shame they are a bit gapy but that allows for better movement.

I think I have the red bull but all the rest are long gone :(

:O This is amazing! If I had to be a creture this would be it. :) The sculpting it perfect, and the wings are just- WOW!

Holy cow, Joe. This is gorgeous. The shaping is absolutely perfect. I love the bow and arrow. The pose is so dynamic. I like the touch with the eyes. And you did a stellar job on the wings. The horse legs are what really stand out to me. I haven't seen that done much, but you nailed it. So well done!

Wow Joe! It's amazing! Very, very cool! It would be good to see all your creatures togather! Great work! :)

Very impressive. Love the bow and wings. Though the head looks a little small for the rest of the body. Still a five star build! -LB Senior

Brilliant!

Your work never ceases to amaze me it gets better and better and more and more professionally done! Bravo!!! MERRY CHRISTMAS

Thank you all so much. I would have liked to spend a little more time refining but I won't have the time to take any photos.

That's nuts! The way you've conveyed the energy in the bow and arrow is genius. I'm not a fan of the luminous eyes, but that's just a personal thing. 5/5

Great job, MortalSwordsman! Blogged on BrickEnd: http://brickend.blogspot.com/2012/12/winged-centaur-by-mortalswordsman.html

What a beautifully executed MOC!

Mihe, David and Matthew thanks for the comments guys. I like to use basic bricks but it can sometimes be a challenge to get the right body/muscle shape. Glad you like him.

They need a 10 smiley face option for this one. This is your best one to date! I love it. The wings are amazing, the legs are beautiful. 10+ bro

The work you do on the anatomy of these figures is amazing. Posing in the last few photos really proves the point.

A thing of great beauty, and some menace. Now then, I was talking to Ape about a transporter meet at my house, it looks like January if that suits.

Wow! This is amazing! The detail in this creation is stunning! I love that bow design! The sleekness of the centaurs body is marvelous! I always love how you shape the body so that it looks muscular and smooth, it adds to the effect stupendously! One of my favorite animals from you yet!

beautifully done!

I think that this is really quite beautiful. The green eyes give it a quite merciless look though. The wings work very well and it's great that they're built from basic bricks.

beautiful done ;-) ! the bow is genius...
