The sawed off shotgun is a powerful weapon that pummels enemies in close quarters. I thought a bull would make the ideal animal to marry it up with, and have done so in a loose gunsmith aesthetic complete with ornamental floral elements and flourishes.

A lot of time was spent modifying the albedo then doing the same changes in the heightmap - only to convert it to a normal which actually caused issues. I had a version of this completed a week ago but there is a nasty normal crease on the top facing edge which ruined the original design where the bull on the side was larger, so I’ve reworked the design so the bull and the leaves don’t bleed over this edge. I've also made an alternative colour option that I quite liked although its further removed from reality. The original colour scheme of burgundy, black and gold/bronze metals reminded me of 'Lannister officer' armor which I boosted all the way up to a brighter red to appeal more to the audience; the purple version is a slight deviation which is very bold and pretty, I submitted it as I loved the exponent colour as it catches the side flourishes - I called it 'fancy'.

On the subject of naming I’ve used the working title 'Raging bull', although there are plenty of good name alternatives: El Matador, Encierro, The bullfighter, Bull-bagger, Torro! Torro! Torro!, and a few cheeky deviations on Red Bull such as le Taureau Rouge.
