Veles (also known as Volos), the Slavic god of time (as in, the passing time of life thing), harvest (not the crops, but rather the act of harvesting... yes, our gods are all about nuanced vocabulary) and cattle (among tons of other, minor things) and keeper of the underworld and the great oak tree at the roots of which the dead reside. Depicted as the ultimate herd-keeper and the raw force of life, not exactly responsible for giving and taking, but instead protecting and debt collecting.
Occassionally depicted as a serpent, or at least having some serpentine attributes.
Later painted evil due to christianisation (because Catholic Church needed everything to be good vs. evil and the gods of the dead ended up with the short end of the stick in most old religions).
Even though... technically speaking, this is not entirely Veles. Ahem... tee hee hee. *shuts himself up*

Painting experiments, yay.

Well, to be completely honest, I never was able to tell the difference between a minotaur and your ordinary anthro cattle. Except for the occassional lack of fur from the neck down for the former. Not sure i get the "other deity" reference though.
Thanks for the compliment!

most depicted a minotaur as a human with a bull's head. but as with most things, it's a matter of personal taste. :)
the other deities refer to my role-playing gaming hobby. role-playing games tend to steal a lot from cultures new and old, sometimes from each other. the above portrait could serve as a powerful spirit or druiid deity, for example. or as a god of farmers, maybe.
