Thanks for feedback guys!

lol, Neil.

The original minotaur or original render? As for the tat and the cigar, they're there for fun... they're not actually a part of the design.

Thanks for the feedback.

Looks like a Minotaur on steroids. Impressive work!

I like both Steve....I think the first one would look cool in the usual Greek tragedy. The second (still pissing myself) cigar/tatt and all reminds me of big bad Red...Hellboy...LOVE it man...I dig it...it would look perfect in Manga man...some big bitch skolling a beer and crushin it...tokes a cigar...and calls some nerdy dude a sweet bitch cos he cant hack fighting ghouls or something LOL...love it

Ace mate! Really like it, only crit would be the loin cloth being a tad dark, but the sculpt is great!

The modeling and sculpt work on this is killer, just looked over the whole thread and think both your takes on this are pretty damn Epic. Not quite sure how you are working in a superstore with skills like this, all I would say is keep producing work to this standard and I am sure you will get picked up soon.

You still got plans on doing some fur/hair tests. Be great to see some animation on one of these.

Keep up the great work,

Leon
