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.

What a wonderful story and illustration! Very beautiful artwork!
Great character and very original image! Five Stars!
Oh, I love it! I was all ready to see a mean old Minotaur, and when this opened I was so surprised! I should have known that you would never create anything mean for us to look at...This reminds me of my late brother. They used to call him Ferdinand, after the character in the story you mentioned. This is awesome, my friend! He goes to my desktop!
flower power of the 60's lol had to say that. I like this a lot and I think i saw the Walt Disney toon too. cool
Very sweet! I really like your take on this one. Excellent work, Dennis! Bunny

Beautifully done Dennis and I remember Ferdinand The Bull....I love all the detail in this image...beautiful foreground...
I am with you on Ferdinand The Bull. I had a stuffed Ferdinand The Bull when I was a child. This is very well represented of the memory I have of Ol Ferdinand. Nice Posing and rendering!!!
See!! Even big guys know that sometimes you have to stop and smell the flowers! And violets just happen to be my very favorite wild flower! A fantastic render Dennis! I love how you put the sense of self above all else. Its not easy to follow your heart when it beats to a different drum. But what a scene it makes when you do! ~Michelle~
