Tar Taurus
Real Name: David Murphy
Gender: Male
Species: Bull
Occupation: Supervillain
Background: A product of the Safeguard Organization, that also created Steel Steer but not as valorous as the silver stud. Before becoming a villain, David Murphy was a soldier but was noted to be highly aggressive, violent, and sadistic. Granted some of his tendencies were known by his peers but because of his physical prowess and fairly exemplary service record, he remained a member of the military and was chosen to take part in one of the experimental studies of Safeguard’s super soldier program. The goal of the program he was part of, Project: Slip, was to make a soldier or spy possessing some limited shapeshifting to allow them to infiltrate heavily fortified bases and retrieve intel or assassinate targets. However during the procedure, something went wrong and he was placed in observation until he escaped. Now having incredible power and taking the name Tar Taurus, He plans to cause as much pain and destruction as he likes while at times serving as a mercenary especially for international terrorist groups. He often comes to blows with another from the same program, the sterling stud himself, Steel Steer.

Some more Summer of the Bovine and another new Dairy Dame character. This time it’s Steel Steer’s nemesis Tar Taurus. Though kind of inspired by the character of Major Force, who was the polar opposite of Captain Atom but ended up drawing a bit more inspiration from shapeshifting villains like Clayface visually and power based. I’ll say his design is a bit different than what I was initially imagining at least from the back that he was going to have more a purple shine to certain parts of him but I though a sickly brownish yellow shine with glowing yellow eyes worked more for the ‘tar’ motif of his name. I did have fun drawing him since I do like these kind of amorphous slime monster type characters since the anatomy doesn’t have to be exact and you can play with certain details to make them look unnatural. For now though, please enjoy.
