Artist's Comments

I was inspired to do this by the PS2 game 'God of War'. The art for this game was done by a guy name Charlie Wen.. I was going for the energy and motion of his piece called 'Sore Throat" Check it out...[link] Just some awesome art! The booklet and everything...This took @10 hrs PS, Painter and my Wacom

When you can't grab the bull by the horns, you do what you can. It helps to have a damn big sword. Bull Fight by *VegasMike rages with motion and rattles your perspective with a surprisingly visceral display of kinetic energy. Please full view. (Featured by `frail)

That's so awesome! Great, uh, perspective? Is that the word? Like how the bull's head is so close and the rest of his body is far away. That's what I like. And the blurryness with the swinging of the axe. It reminds me of Thesesus fighting the minotaur, or is that what the scene actually is?

Thanks for the comment! No its just a scene from my head...
:iconeimhin:
The minotaur looks a bit... solidly planted to be in extreme motion, I think, he's very stable and still-looking for someone who threw their weight behind an axe chop. But the way charlie's piece adds to the motion is in the weird perspective distortions and P.O.V. wrap-around in the background and scenery, maybe try that in your stuff in the future, too. I really like the motion blur and the guy diving out of the way seems to be quite nicely captured.

And all is one.

He looks pretty threatening with that horrid axe, I wouldn't want to be that guy.

An amazing piece. I think it's really worth a DD !! It's full of details and the idea is awesome. Best painting in months !!
