Sleipnir, with his eight legs would be and is an anatomical nightmare for any artist, how'd you manage to pull it off? Since you'd pretty much have to figure out how to put in two shoulders and two hips and make it so he actually could move without interfering with himself. I've been thinking of using breyer horses to creat a Sleipnir. I just can't figure out which models to use and how to get around the anatomy hangup. Just the same the portrait is awesome and he's a fitting mount for the Master of Asgard.

I appreciate your actual critique. Regarding the anatomy, there are ways of getting around the problem without actually addressing it. For example, the second pair of hind legs are behind the first pair (you can't see how they are attached). Also instead of two shoulders, I compensated with one giant mass of muscle. Sometimes complete accuracy can interfere with what you want to communicate. That's where artistic invention comes in!
