Two new aurochs drawings

Recently I did some new aurochs drawings, one of them is a reconstruction. 
This is a reconstruction of the 182cm tall Vig specimen, based on this photo. The Vig bull is the largest specimen on display. Its horns are more upright (somewhere between 80 and 90° to the snout) and less curved than usual in bulls. Looking at the reconstruction, a mix of Lidia, Chianina, Camargue and Watussi might be suitable to produce a convincing look-alike for this specimen. In case anyone is wondering where the eel stripe is, it would not be visible from this perspective. 
This is a portrait of a bull that is mainly based on the Sassenberg and Braunschweig bull specimen.

  1. I have the impression that the legs are somewhat gracile,
    the joints, hooves, muscles...specially the forehand.
