Description
Ferdinand The Minotaur
His men thought he was suffering from Battle Fatigue, but The fact was, he had found an inner peace, free from Bloodshed and War!
Thanks Antonio this is a fantastic Character packed with goodies! :)
:) The 1st time I saw Antonio's Minotaur, it had sparked a memory of a very early animation by Walt Disney 1938, titled Ferdinand The Bull.
Preceeded by a book "The Story of Ferdinand" written by Munro Leaf and Illustrated by Robert Lawson. A story of a young bull that would prefer to smell the flowers than fight in the bull ring with his other fellows.

The 2 minotaurs in the back are watching his inner peace and screaming, "Ah Bull!!! (laughs)". Very cool render my good man. Love the work and the armored bulls in the back. Awesome!!

Ferdinand The Minotaur is a real fabulous created work! It's so cute to see how he is holding his flower! Very very lovely done! Bravo, Dennis!!!
Ohhhh memories come flooding back! I remember Ferdinant and his flowers that he loved so much. Before I even read what you wrote about your picture I KNEW that this was FERDINANT the gentle Bull who did not want to fight in the Arena but rather sat under the tree smelling on his beloved flowers. Thank you so much for making this picture and bringing back memories.
YES YES!! That was my very first thoughts seing this wonderful scene. "Ferdinand the friendly bull". I have seen that Animation 100 times, im sure, and Id love to see it 100 times more. :))) You did a spectacular work with these figures and background. Much better to smell flowers than to fight. Well done Dennis. :)
Classic. (My stomach hurts from laughing.)
Wonderful world there :-) Nice job my friend

I too remember Ferdinand the bull. Wonderful scene Dennis! Terrific posing of all them bulls! Looks like the two in back are trying to get the rally cry going and Ferdinand wants no part of it! Excellent!
Most beautiful! Excellent work indeed,well done!
