Description
Some sketches of Hexabrachius villosus (found here with gobs and gobs of information: [link] ) that I did after some feedback on the original drawing (and contest entry) from .

They've been labeled so they're pretty self-explanatory I think. Their gaits are similar to a horse's, what with the ungulate body structure. Their coat thins out in summer and thickens in winter (and the quills thicken too!) making them look much heftier in the colder months than they actually are. Although they do not hibernate, their metabolisms slow down and bands will spend much more time sleeping than they would in warmer months.

The full mane mutation is more common in males and is pretty self explanatory--instead of a crown of quills behind their ears, the quills extend completely down their neck, similar to a horse's mane. In some cases, it can reach all the way down the individual's back to join with the rump-quills. This individual is named Calvin and belongs to my roommate. C:

In the middle of the bottom row is a sixfoot skull. The double eye sockets and nasal passage is visible, as is the slight crest atop the braincase for the anchoring of the jaw muscles. The last one is two young sixfeet adventuring in a tree. They do not much look like they belong in trees, but try telling them that.

In developing them further I've kept most of the original traits; the only thing that keeps getting lost is their whiskers. Maybe they weren't meant to be.

Done in pencil and inked with a pen from a gynecologist I've never visited.
