Description
The Indian Gaur (Bos gaurus) is the largest of all wild cattle. Standing 1.6 to 2.2 m (5.4 to 7.2 ft) high at the shoulder it beats out bison and buffalo in size. Bulls, like the one pictured, have very large dewlaps and ridges on their backs. The gaur is found through out Southern Asia and India. Listed as vulnerable, it's main threat is hunting.I love these animals humps and their colouring. Such powerful animals. This one is a bit more of a boring pose than the water buffalo

Again with teh ephemeral graphic background!
Love the splotchy treatment of the body wash (recommended for the tapir's morning bath)...The pose, while technically "static," retains that fluid gestural quality of the Indian Water Buffalo (which is again not a characterization you often hear applied to the Indian water buffalo).
This one reminds me, I could almost see this style applied to your old (well, not THAT old) D&D redux pieces!

The blotchiness come from some newly re-found textures. They needed somewhere to stand, not just in an empty white warehouse.
I need to go back to the D&Ds. I am finding physical drawing a bit daunting at the moment.

Fun fact, their alternate, and older common name is "Indian Bison".

Yes you are right. Not true bison though. I think its the big hump that does it.

Yes, and the size, so you have bison being called buffalo, and the largest bubalid being called a bison, lol

Yeah pretty random. Lots of confusion.
