A portrait of Garok Duhr, a minotaur from a land where they are not the mindless monsters of myth and legend but a race of intelligent and cunning warriors. Just recently aware of the land of men, Garok was sent to the humans lands to reconnoiter for a future invasion by the minotaurs. The great Balakian Empire of the minotaurs could always use more human slaves after all.

finally I've found an exceedingly well done picture of a minotuar! The only thing one like myself could as for is a further resemblance of a bull in the facial area. Other than that, and the exception of the leg thing, I believe its perfect.

:-) Matt Jarrett replies: "Here was my prediciment when doing his face; his head is turned down so if I gave him a bull-like mouth it would make him look as if he were smiling, and I didn't want that, so I opted for a more human mouth, with obviously mixed results."

He has his legs bent under the seat?
wont he trip\fall if he rises from the seat?

I usually dont like minotaur like thing but this one is awsome!

:-) Matt Jarrett replies: "Well, if I were stand up from where my own feet are positioned at this exact moment I would fall flat on my face too, but the great thing about being mobile is that you can move your legs out from under your seat so you CAN stand up. Weird how that works, isn't it?"

I think that the pic is just amazing. But one small thing that I have seen in a lot of pics of Minotaurs. The hooves should be split like an actual cow, not a horse. Being a farm boy myself I happened to notice it. But I am just being really picky. Great job anyway.

Holy Cr*p. I love Minotaurs, and this one rules. It really looks nasty. Wouldn’t wanna meet him in a dark alley

:-) Matt Jarrett replies: "How about a dark maze instead?"

Don’t see Minotaurs on thrones very often. Very creative!~ the pic is very well drawn.

:-) Matt Jarrett replies: "Thanks! Garok was no ordinary minotaur. He was from a land where minotaurs had become quite evolved and intelligent, rivalling humans."

I hope he gets lost in that maze of his.

This is excellent. I think I like the human face with the bovine features better than if you’d of put the head of a bull on it. I think you incorporated the two together quite nicely. This is definitely one of the better Minotaurs that I’ve seen in my life. Great job, keep it up.
