I'm rather dissappointed as well. The face looks out of place, near as disturbing as the Sphinx, where the face doesn't match the body. I as well was hoping for more of a minotaur look, and though I know we cannot steal from every other fantasy place, I think it would have been more effective in this case.
I as well was looking for more in the way of armour, I mean, if we want to see those kinds of things, I can recomend several sites for you. By... Googling them, of course.
If I ever saw a Taurian blademaster with armour like that, they'd either be called a whore or a... newbie.
Full death knight armour request!

What I like about this is that the character is very muscular looking, but still retains fenemine features. For example, thus massive though muscles belong on a normal non-taurian male, but the face still retains enough feminine qualities to be recognizably female. She reminds me sort of like a female bodybuilder. And the upper area I think is the way it is because there is so much muscle behind it. I don't find it attractive in the least, though that is how I'd expect a beefy taurian to be.

I agree about the face, it looks like its from another drawing just pasted right on, there's nothing bovine about it, other than the nose ring. If you just looked at the face, you wouldn't know what it was. Just a kind of ugly female.
Unknown2005-04-22 18:25:37
Her legs are great - muscular, huge and overall well drawn. The hoofs are quite nice too. Her face isn't too bad, but it seems a tiny bit out of place. Overall, she probably looks too feminine. Her gargantuan boobs can stay - it just needs to be supported by iron bras instead of a piece of cloth. She also needs to wear more armor.

What Singollo/Faethan/Sylphas said. :/
Desdemona2005-04-22 19:36:44
I love the picture!
At first, the picture sort of surprised me, because I was actually expecting a more bovine-like face. Still, what the Taurian lacks in bovine-head, it more than makes up for it in her lower body/horns. But after a closer look, I decided that I loved it.
It portrays fantastically the muscularity I envisioned the Taurians possessed. Clearly, by taking a look at her face, I've come to think that she must be a very young Taurian, amid her 20s, possess the strength of her race, and seems intimidating enough to avoid getting her mad. Now I can only help but to imagine how fiercesome that Taurian could be in an enraged state... A berserker indeed, maybe Taurians don't mind pain enough whilst fighting to worry about heavy armour, they must be all for the offensive (still, if Taurians are so muscular/thick hide, they should have some kind of resistance to blunt/hits, imo).
It is no wonder why the Taurians are the superior race nor any doubt why the female Taurians were in the lead of the herd!
Overall, I consider this picture/representation is a breathe of fresh air regarding the whole "minotaur" myth. I enjoy this representation very much, partially thanks to it's originality.
One question, if this was one of the first graphics to be received, is it safe to assume it also was one of the first (if not the first) to be drawn?

I like the hooves, and the fact that she practically oozes "don't mess with me". I like it when people are reminded why not to trivialize each other. But yeah, the impractical clothing and the enormous appendages are growing a little tiresome.

I've been going back and forth on my opinion of this artist, but this pretty much sealed it. This artist sucks. =/

You don't watch bodybuilding shows, do you?
Female bodybuilders do NOT have knockers as huge as those.

The ones that take male hormones, no. But I've seen some that I suspect don't do drugs, and the muscles underneath appeared to push them out a little. And no, it's not sexy in the least.
Kaileigh2005-04-23 02:29:00
I happen to like the artist so far. Just not liking this picture so much.
Alot of people are getting mad because it's not how they though a Taurian should look. Meh.. Then you draw one.

Yep, some do seem to be somewhat disappointed by the pictures for not reflecting their representation of what they thought the race would be. Other folks just pay too much attention to "assets" that... I'm even willing to grab all the pictures and color on them some more conservative clothes.
The taurian in particular seems to have evoked the most voiced disappointment, which is a pity because it is a fantastic graphic. It is simply irradiating with attitude.
(I'll even use the picture as model for my descript, thanks to me liking it very much)

The female body builders with huge breasts have them solely because they had breast implants.

Are the voting for the arts going to continue, or has it been postponed?

You aren't alone, I think this is an awesome piece too.

Somehow, I don't think her armor is going to help much in fighting, but that's just me..
Jadryga2005-04-23 10:06:18
Awkay, speaking about graphics, proportion wise... she looks like she's going to topple over, because with that amount of mass in her upper body, hooves those size can't be very stable... and she has arthritis in the knee joints. Real cows have small hooves, but they also stand on 4 of them. Like a table. Her uhh.. mammary glands... can she fight with those? Being a woman, I think it could get really painful if she swings too much or runs too fast >.> there's a reason female warriors bound their breasts... with err, considerably more cloth. I like the way the artist colors, and his/her use of texture and attention to detail, that semi-scimitar looking thing is great, BUT I do not like his/her sense of proportion. Is there space for 4 stomachs?

I believe this was the closest race ever, but the taurian won by a hair! I really like this taurian's face and her hooves happen to be my favorite feature. This was actually the first finalized graphic we received and I hope you grow to love her as much as I have!

What's with the Klingon-like face, seriously look at her face and you'll get a flash of that female klingon that Worf was banging...
(Sorry there goes my dorkyness)
And can I now sell Taurian females for milk to villages as a commodity quest? Because she's gotta have a lot of milk...
Edit= And she should sue the plastic surgeon who gave her those things, cause her left one hangs lower then her right, shoddy shoddy work.
