This is my kind of a minotaur. He is a scientist and he would hate to rush around and strike his horns into somebody. He loves to sit alone in his chamber and chew earn of corn while thinking deep thoughts.
His big ears tells that he comes from India and the red eyes that he is an albino.

Oil on canvas paper.

This is great!
I think it's must be relly hard to draw a cow to look intelligent, but you have made it!!! (by that i made it must be hard to paint minotaurs, that wont look like stupid cows...)
It's great!

I agree with the comment directly above me, cow's always look so stupid, but you made him look very understanding nd intelligent.

This is a very different interpretation of a minotaur. Very sophisticated compared to the minotaur of Greek mythology

I like the idea: There is wisdom and strength, all together.
Your picture is full of contradiction first. But this is my own idea: Forget all those prejudices!!

Never have I seen such a handsome minotaur. I would even bring this one into a china shop, he's so well-mannered... ^_^

This is excellent too!

Wow. This is one of the best minotaurs I have seen. He looks like he was thinking something very interesting and then we came in and disturbed his thoughts. I especially like his hands and those lovely big ears. ^^;;

And cows are NOT stupid. Grr. >=P

I like this one. An actual sophisticated minotaur, that's a great take on it.

it’s funny; i think the ears really matter. i like it a lot (: yet if his ear hadn’t been that long, i wouldn’t. ..
