Hiya Mathieu,

This sounds really interesting, and I would love to see the bust... are
there any pictures online of it? (Or maybe you could post some when you're
finished?)
I've recently been working on a minotaur design with my b/f for a digital
model. I'd love to see how you chose to create the bull-headed form...
knowing your eccentric touch!

Best wishes,

Katy
