Portrait of the Vig bull

Recently I did a little portrait of the Vig bull, one of the two famous Danish aurochs specimen (the other one being the Prejlerup bull). I started it by tracking out a photo of the skeleton and reconstructing the tissue around it, then redrawing my sketch onto a canvas. The actual painting was done in acrylics. 

The Vig bull is from the early Holocene of Denmark, when forests started to become more prevalent after the mass extinction of Megafauna back in the late Pleistocene, so I chose a forest edge as a background. 

The result can be seen on my new Instagram account (go here). Consider following me there, I will upload most of my new aurochs artworks there. 

I am quite happy with the result, it also matches the Lascaux bull paintings very well, I think.
