Thanks everyone!

Way back in March when I had my H English class, I had to do a project on two Greek Myths, chose Theseus & the Minotaur, and Perseus slaying Medusa. Needless to say, the most messed up one is the minotaur. *laughs* Brief.....overview of the myth: Married woman falls in love with a 'beautiful' bull and eventually gives birth to the minotuar...who her husbands builds a maze for and locks him in. Town sacrifices maidens to him every now and then, which he hunts and kills/eats...Theseus ends up killing him though. Wench. *shakes fist* ...but...he forgets to switch sails and blah blah, his father throws himself from a cliff. I think that's the right story. lol It's been a while.

But anywho, figure....if this minotaur supposedly had a 'beautiful' father, might as well make him a pretty fine minotaur. right? Creepy as that is. lol

I looked through that page like 3 times all "dude...my pic isn't there. What are they talking about? o.O " ...
Then realized you posted my very old sketch of my minotaur render. XD I thought you'd commented on this one instead [link] ...the finished version..

Thank you just the same though, for sure! And that was an awesome collection of minotaur pics you got together there. A feast for my eyes..

Unfortunately no, I tried with the background but was unimpressed. I've always wanted to go back and digitalize this one though.

So many artist's say that, although it's already kind of perfect. What's gotten better? The shading?

Mystofeles In reply to Sachriel [2004-09-06 02:33:00 +0000 UTC]

Yeah go ahead and use it on your pc. That axe -is- awesome. That's why I drew it. I was just flippin' through a medieval weaponry catalog and loved that one; figured it fit. X)

Much prettier Minotaur than I've ever imagined. Such smooth shading. The posing is *very* nice. I like the covering and the slight fur...and I don't know *why* exactly, besides from the fact I love the minotaur, but I *really* love this pic. <3
