good work.
great idea.

ABSOLUTELY!! You go for it, bull!!

I love your take on this subject! You managed to make it funny too.
Look at that vicious glimmer in the eye... and the strong, red colours screamind "danger". Very nice.

I'd like to see a little more space between the feet and the edge of the pic. The rest is great!

WOWWWWWW!!! Really great concept!!! Awesome character!!!

I completely agree with you. I hate the bull fights too!!!
Having said that, love your concept. The "bulls eye" is drawing all the attention with the help of the nicely positioned sword. I can feel rage coming out of it. I would have loved to see the extremeties just a tiny bit longer and some shadows around the sword and the back... but that's just my 2 cents.

You know, my aunt (she is really awesome) did not like bullfighting and did not understand the purpose. But at one point in her life, she was given (pretty much forced into) a chance to do a bullfight. She said she finally understood it afterward and it could not be explained until you do it. I have no idea haha.Great painting by the way

Cool work!
great idea

Very nice. I whole-heartedly agree with your feeling concerning bullfighting. It is a barbaric form of entertainment. I like the bulls to win.

Great !!

Just great, Lots of nice details. Well done

Thank you for the comments Curlyhair, Oldskool, Gary, Ironwolf, Carlos, DarkVixxen, Daykan, Cupcake, ersen T, LiddleLarsen, MCC, Arzillier, Michelle I'm glad you like it and feel the same way.
Jane, yes, I agree, the composition is a little bit crammed, dunno why, but I should pay more attention to this kind of stuff
Purplerose, i wanted to make the bull stand out more from the background, like he's coming out of the picture to haunt some unsuspecting matador Maybe it's not such a good idea though
Picky, I tried to maintain the proportions of a bull, even though it's humanized, that's why he's not that graceful... you are totally right about the shadows on the back, thank you
Sharkh20 i agree, there must be something to it that eludes me.... but I think it's a bit hypocritical to enjoy unleashing your old hunting instincts in a totally unfair and controlled environment. It's easy to be tough when you're holding all the cards... and there are plenty other "extreme sports" out there which don't harm anyone or anything else. When animals play with their prey it's considered cruel, but they don't know any better. Humans should know better.

Very nice and well painted. This painting shows a definate skill level, I think how ever the background blends a bit to much in to the painting for me. I think there should be a more of a distinguished area between the negative space and the actual figure. The image almost blends into the background. But non the less very skillfully done and excellently composed

Nice concept and end result!

Nice picture and bad commentary. I've always wondered how people dare to speak about things they don't know anything about.

"It's barbaric, bloody without any purpose, unfair and humiliating to those poor slaughtered animals".

All wrong. The bullfighting is an ancient tradition (not a barbarian show). Bloody? Well, I don't know how you romanians work in the slaughter houses, but I can imagine. Without any purpose? I think you don´t know the purpose and, because of your ignorance, assume there's none. Unfair? I'd like to see you in the face of a 600 Kg's brave bull armed just with a rag and a sword. Humiliating? Running away from your own country is humiliating; to do what you've come to do in this world (kill/die) is something to be proud of (I'm sure you don't understand, but it is). Poor animals? Brave bulls have better lives than you and me and I couldn't call such amazing animals "poor".

Criticizing bullfigths because of the way they're done is like criticizing classical music because of the harm humans do to the amazonian rainforest when they construct violins.

You, ignorants, first-world-wannabes. Say "I don't like bullfights, but maybe it's because I don't understand them", and keep your ignorant and pretencious opinions to yourselves.

Really great

So true. My sister-in-law's Spanish, and she wanted to take us to a bull-fight before the wedding. I wouldn't go. Almost caused a rift!

I particularly find the pre-wounding of the bull to slow him down awful. It isn't a sport in any meaningful sense of the word. It's gorno.

I love the way the bull's anger, rage and fury comes through, not just in the face, but in his whole stance. It's a real 'I've-had-enough' feeling.

Brialliant.

Oh my, I meant to comment this one long long time ago, but I obviously forgot. I'll simply say that it's excellent
