Some day ago,
dragonofwind suggested me to try something different. I was struck from how neat
angel27 's gallery looked, and this particular pic http://www.furaffinity.net/view/17951453/ hit my attention. So, this minotaur was born!
I hope you'll welcome him warmly, he just wants to make himself a position as a model. :3
I hope you enjoy!
My thanks to Tempist aka
dragonofwind and
angel27 for their "base" (and much prettier) picture.
(I know that the two pics look so similar, I didn't trace it or anything and I've already notified
angel27 about this.)

I love that his face-expression expresses the same feeling as his body-pose, a strong, proud, but happy minotaur.
Anatomy is great, I think the pectoralis is either too small or not "3D" enough.
The shading highlights the muscles very good and adds a very three dimensional feeling.
His face is beautiful, I can see that he is very proud, the puppy face fits just perfectly :D
First I thought: "Wait, where is his right eye...", but the longer I look at his face it makes more sense.
I don't know why it looks that his eye is missing, but I think it could be more clear that something is blocking it.
Sadly I can't say a lot of things about the anatomy and I still can't see the picture you refer to in the info (it says, that I am not allowed to see this Image) :/
But I can say that he looks very good (I don't know if "sexy" is appropriate..., but it would fit better than "good" :P ) I can not stop looking at his face :3

I thank you kindly for taking the time to leave a critique, it helps me a lot!
Face: I tried drawing his right eye, and I didn't have any problems about it. When I looked at it, though, it looked like you couldn't.see it anyway because of the shadow, so I didn't define it in the final version. I should've included it anyway! >.<;
Pectoralis: ...you're right, it was an error I did. I'll fix their dimensions and proportions in the next pictures!
I'm also glad you like it. And now I understand what you meant: you can't see the original picgure by angel27 because it's targed as a mature content (you could give if a look if you change your settings though, it's all worth it. It's more of a sensual pic than sexual, like this pic.)
And who knows, maybe he's making that face just for you! X3

Quick Critique: a Quitique, I guess.
First thing that stands out to me is that the lack of solid white or black in the image: even the darkest points, eyes, nostrils, inside of the ears, approach black but don't quite get all the way there. The image as a whole looks kinda soft without any black accents to punch it up.
White, conversely, doesn't seem necessary: the tone in this pic looks positively radiant, and I'm not just talking about the muscle. X3
Speaking of which: the muscle tone in general is rendered really nicely... a lot of artists tend to go overboard with muscle definition, outlining every crease and crinkle of every muscle group, when quite often less is more; really nicely handled in this pic. X3
I wanna say something about the nose feels off, but after googling a few ref pics I can't see anything technically inaccurate about it... maybe it just looks more like what my head pictures a cats nose should look like, rather than what a bulls nose actually looks like. Ungulates commonly have rounded nostrils, with a bit of a slit going off to one side, kinda like a q or , shape. They seem to come in all shapes and sizes, tho, so it's all good. (maybe my head's still stuck on mlp pony nostils... probably.) X3
Only anatomy nitpick I have is that the obliques should sort of lace together with the serratus anterior, which makes that sorta zig-zag creased muscle arrangement that body builders just love to show off.

I know I just made a "less is more" comment not two paragraphs ago, but that one in particular kinda stuck out to me, I guess... the bands of the serratus are lightly shaded in, maybe it just seems odd to me that they're visible when the obliques aren't.
Anyway: hope this helps some, bein a vous, -WF

I once again thank you for taking the time to write something about my drawings.
I was afraid if using black in case it looked too strong compared to the rest, but I'll try to use stronger tones where necessary in the next picture.
I wasn't sure about the nose as wdll in the first place, having drawn the face on almost 60% improvisation, then I looked for some bovine noses and yes, there's that q-like band that you mentioned, but I thought it wouldn'tbe noticeable anyway at this distance so iI didn't integrate it in the finished pic.
As for the serratus-obliques interlacement...I shamefully forgot about evidencing it, focusing mostly on the obliques.
Merci beaucoup, Whitefox.
