Half man half bull. I spent days on this piece and am really pleased with the results. I think it has a real 'solid' feel. Although he is standing still I tried to get a tensed pose like his getting ready to charge. Drawn in pencil.

Very cool. You do get the sense that he is ready to charge at any moment.
His arms do seem a bit short. Also..I think it might just be perspective, but it doesn't really look like the human part is centered right on the bull body.
It's probably just the way he's posed that's making it look that way though.

He looks awesome. The shading is fantastic and the idea is something you don't see often at all 2 Very cool!

Wow! Thats very cool and creative. Only one thing: I think, his arms are a LITTLE bit too short...on the other hand, that makes him look even more strong and dangerous. And after all, it's fantasy. Exellent work!

waw! he's great, the veins and muscles make him look incredibly dangerous! it's very nicely done, I like the idea of a man combined with a bull 14 fantastic!

The picture conveys a very brutal feel. You captured the hesitation just before a charging run very very well. Almost too well. I've never seen anything like this. Its as if he's about to simply leap off of the page and come at you with those horns... Better run before its too late!

The only thing that I somewhat disagree with is that the torso looks like it would be leaning forward at that uncomfortable angle all of the time rather than just at this one particular moment. Other than that, steller job! It really rocks!

This is very nice and hunky Bull-taur. The only comment is that it looks like a horses' tail you got there instead of a bulls.
