Ichthyocentaur for Genesis 8/Genesis 8 Centaur

sorakuno

I know that since the modeling work for such a complex, lesser-known creature would likely be more intesive than the potential profits would be worth that this is unlikely to happen, but we already have centaurs and merpeople so a guy can dream, right?
Anyway, I think an ichtyocentaur character/moph would be really cool (And would be a huge step twards me being able to make an alichthyocentaur). For those who don't know, an ichthyocentaur is basically a mer-centaur, the upper body of a human, the forelgs of a horse, and the tail of a fish. Theyre sometimes depicted with a separate fish tail replacing each hind leg and sometimes with a single tail replacing the entire rear half of the horse body.  Personally, I prefer the latter (and that one would probably be less modeling work than the former anyway.) They also sometime have lobster claw-like horns of their foreheads, but that could probably be and optional attachment in the "Anatomy" tag, or even omitted entirely.

Here are some examples.

I'd call that a hippocampus, but that's just me ..

Technically a hippocampus is just a horse with a fish tail where it's hindquarters should be. No human torso.

An icthyocentaur is part centaur, part hippocampus.
