Sleipnir

Description

Sleipnir, Odin's mythical steed in Norse mythology.

Was originally drawn for Equestria Daily's Artists' Training Grounds, but wasn't finished in time.

Here's the original sketch with Mjölnir before I changed it (since Thor and Sleipnir have nothing to do with each other), and some anatomical mistakes. There's also the makings of chest armour, which I abandoned.

This is the version I submitted to ED, I couldn't finish it on time so there's no tapering and the hind legs are STILL borked. The snout looked too feminine, so I changed it from the original sketch.

Since the only real consistent portrayals of Sleipnir are that he has eight legs and runes on his teeth, I took some artistic liberties in coordinance with the MLP mythology. Since Sleipnir is a legendary horse, I had to make him look more, well, regal.

Sleipnir's cutie mark is the rune of Odin.

Here Sleipnir is seen crossing the Bifröst.

I seem to picture him as a figure from the pre celestia era.
