Most of these connections came ''a posteriori'' : the core design came pretty much by itself; 100% biological cyntaurs came first, with a few variants, mechanized variants next. The idea of a swift, blurred motion, with incredibly "elegant" envelopes for the Cyntaur's movements even though it consists of rigid parts is relatively new, and especially appealing as far as the graphical support is concerned (rendering that "creepy grace" is much more of a challenge for a 3D modeler/animator than for a 2D artist). | Most of these connections came ''a posteriori'' : the core design came pretty much by itself; 100% biological cyntaurs came first, with a few variants, mechanized variants next.
