Poor Image: A Load Of Bull

Go To

The image on the page may be the Ur-Example of the trope, but there's a lot of other stuff going on in the image too, and the art style doesn't make it any clearer. I also don't like the single horn on the bull's head, which puts me more in mind of a unicorn.

This is a very simple trope, and there's no shortage of good images out there.

Holding an axe: 1, 2 (Paste this into the address bar without the space; I can't get it working as a link for some reason: static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/4/47073/962043-917137_incrediblehercules132___zuescontrols weather_super.jpg)

Holding a club: 3, 4

Armored: 5 (Altered version of 1), 6 (Might require artist's permission? Not quite sure on this one.)

No equipment: 7, 8 (Would require artist's permission.)

Opened...I've looked at the suggestions but I'll wait on judging them for now.

I like 1, 7, and 8 the most. Can't get 2 to work.

[down]Caught that; doesn't want to load.

[up] I left out the "http://" and put a space between "controls" and "weather" in the link, close to the end of it. If you paste the whole string into the address bar and then remove the space, it should work. (I still don't know why it doesn't work normally, though.)

Ok, I don't have any opinions yet, but I know that this is gonna come down to a crowner.

Maybe the illustration from the original D&D Monster Manuel for the Minotaur.

1.1, 1.4, 1.8, and 5 are the ones I like most so far, although they are all good. Definitely going to be a crowner thread.

TinyURL of 1.2.

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

1.7 and 1.8 are good for me. 5 is also good but gets downticks because it's a touch busier and the others from 1 at times look more like horned beasts.

11 is also good. 12 is a bit weak on the "Bull" (it looks a bit too much like "horned monster").

This will come down to a crowner methinks.

Filled in all the suggestions that work (technically; that means no Photobucket ones) for me below 1 (since I don't know the sources of these).

[up] Not sussed on any of those for a page pic, but they're great for Image Links material.

Pre-weekend votes bump; the Pencil drawing is the only one in green at 11-0 yea/nay.

I think it's safe to go ahead and call this one, but I don't have time to do the necessaries.

Up, tagged, and captioned with a link to the artist. (Also flipped so that he faces onto the page instead of off it.)
