Mino!

Its been awhile since I painted a big miniature, although this Otherworld Minotaur is not the biggest of minis, it is still a good head (or more) taller than a man.  When I saw the greens for the mini I wanted to have it.  I just like naked minis for some reason...

Since the myth of the minotaur was that it was fathered by the Cretan Bull which was supposed to be white, I thought I would paint it as a white / albino colouration with white fur.

Tried my best to not make it grey, but white, keeping all the colours and shades very pale, but introducing a bit of pink/red to make it look more like a living thing than a marble statue.

The spike on the tail if the spear was known as the sauroter (Greek for Lizard Killer).

One hesitates to use the modern term, "Butt Spike" when there's a native Spartan within hearing distance.
