I know Eohippus means Dawn Horse in Greek, but coincidentally, Eoh also means Horse in Old English (originally, before it was replaced by Hors) so Eohippus could also means Horse Horse.

working on early horses, i wanted to do a quick sketch to show how small Eohippus was compared to an extant horse (this one is about 150cm tall). as you can see, it wasn't big at all. a perfect little lap horse :)

#i honestly don't even know how i managed to get this one done #was working on it veeeeery slowly #even tho it isn't even insanely rendered #was kinda hard to finish cuz i'm exhausted but i wanna continue working on early horses... hmm.. series? idk #i might do a size chart with them in the future if i draw enough of them<3 #barghestland #art #artists on tumblr #paleoart #horse #equus caballus #eohippus #id in alt
