Awesome dude! that bull looks mean.

[jomoco]

Very powerful.

 

Exudes brute force!

 

Just a smidgen of Picasso too.

 

Impressive carving mate.

Thanks, Woodcrafter and Jomoco. I was pretty happy with the energy of the piece. I am still learning and appreciate your comments.

Jomoco, I used a couple of Picasso's bulls as my reference pics. Thanks for noting that.

We all stand on the shoulders of great men Champ.

 

Picasso was indeed a master of bulls and the bull ring.

 

Keep up the great work mate.

It's great. Love the style. Keep doing whatever you're doing.

[champsaw_art]

Thanks, Goodpig. I have lurked a bit and admire your work.

[Goodpig]

Why thank you kind sir! I lurked in the shadows for a long time before getting up the nerve to show any of my work.

The guys on here are sound tho, and they'll be honest about the carvings too.

I really like the bull, the style reminded me of some pics I saved from somewhere a while ago,can't tell you who made them unfortunately but they're awesome, I'll try find em.

Check these out, they're kind of like rough sawn and unfinished but it's the looseness of style I find appealing, not sanded to death, but the cuts that are there are meant to be there, hard to describe what I'm on about. I reckon you've got some of that going on, hence keep doing what you're doing.
