WIP
Fire and Ground together made me think of ash, which is essentially soil created by fire. So I knew I wanted to start with ash as the basic concept. When thinking of animals that suited it, I looked at the zodiac sign Sagittarius, which is a Fire sign represented by a centaur. Ashes and horses together reminded me of the novel Black Beauty, which is about a solid black, beautiful horse.
The idea is a feminine centaur (though her animal features are more pronounced than her human ones) who is solid black owing to the fact that she's completely coated in ash and soot. The design will more or less be sold on the coloring to come later, as it's pretty simplistic without it. Traces of her natural white coloring will be visible from underneath, while her long mane will have the colors of burning cinders, or perhaps cover the whole spectrum from cooler red and orange flames to the hotter blue and white.
