I believe these gravures belong to artist John Howe...
Dont you wish they were true ? ...

The armour reminds me of the movie, The Chronicles of Narnia:
The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. :D

Nice movie by the way. ;)

Now, Now Nechesh...I don't think anyone on this forum are prejudiced against centaurs. We all know that centaurs are people too (well...half anyway). ;)

No offense intended, Nechesh, but every centaur I've known has been a horse's ass. :D


Very cool stuff, Radu. Thanks. :cool:

Were all a little bit of centaurs, behind every face and deeds of a great man in the history there's a horse's ass and a woman... well, except perhaps Alexander the Great on its recent movie... the horse was great though...

I just watched that film the other night. I want my three hours back. :mad:

(You know it's a bad movie when even Angelina Jolie's presence doesn't help. :rolleyes: )

Oh, that show! I was quite 'disturbed' by the 'pretty boy' dance in India.

Alexander's Khopis and his lion helm were very nice though! :)

And I love the scene where Alexander charged the elephant; it was just so raw and powerful!
