Ilyad did two minotaur figures, and though I've seen several examples of the larger one, I couldn't find any of this. It's a great figure although I felt the face was looking down a bit too much which I fixed by placing the front foot on the raised stump of a broken column which I made from plaster.

Otherwise it was good practice for working on metallics and I tried to push the weathered bronze look as far as I could. And it also gave me a chance to play about with skin tones.

I'd like to thank those that gave me feedback while painting it
And Allan C for sculpting it, it's a great figure
Hope you think I did it justice

I cant believe I didn't comment on this earlier. Great job Mate! I love the base, the marble, colours and nice little greenery. Like I told you, I am very jealous that you have this mini, but I know that you have painted better then I could have done! You are becoming great with your crazy textures, and your 'Thinking outside the square' approach you have to modeling.
