Lahra (Level 1 Rookie) at 6/11/2009 9:54:30 AM

I like it, but the chocolate looks a bit Grey?

metaldev (Level 5 Killer Klown) at 1/25/2009 12:46:18 PM

HAPPY YEAR OF THE OX! ^_^

Arylic (Level 4 Lieutenant) at 1/12/2009 11:32:49 PM

O_o wow

Dex (Level 11 CEO) at 9/27/2008 7:15:29 PM

How did I miss this? Awesome!

Faktablad (Level 6 SWAT) at 1/6/2008 9:31:45 AM

Oh, cool. I just thought it was really cool to randomly find the same cow somewhere else, haha.

tomic (Level 11 Admiral) at 1/6/2008 4:41:52 AM

no coincidence, sketched the cow after i saw that graffiti some 6-7 years ago - back in the days when i only had internet-access at the university..

looking for something to pixel for buenzli in my sketches in 2003 i stumbled across it, not remembering the exact source (always thought i saw this in some polish graffiti collection)

should have mentioned this + added something like 'if anyone remembers the source, please tell me!' in the description.. dunno, busy flooding the pixeljoint-gallery in june 2006 with pieces my descriptions turned out a bit spartan

thanks for the pick.. description updated!

Faktablad (Level 6 SWAT) at 1/5/2008 9:06:15 PM

Here's something interesting I found: a cow strikingly similar to yours, in an "abandoned graffiti palace" in Gent, Belgium:

5th picture down. Is this a well-known character, or just coincidence?

Platnium (Level 1 Depressed) at 12/16/2007 10:35:08 AM

That looks like some nice milk chocolate.

Mille (Level 7 Mass Murderer) at 8/27/2007 3:51:10 AM

Great. I saw you live in Germany on your profile so... why is it wrote things in french?

D-Puff (Level 2 Kukyu) at 6/21/2007 4:26:27 PM

this thing freaks the crap right out of me.... nice job though (=

Zhou9 (Level 1 Rookie) at 6/21/2007 4:12:54 PM

Mad cow? Love the art, but this is just weird.

Miumau0 (Level 6 Made) at 2/19/2007 11:22:38 AM

You have ur own style, keep it up. That milk looks pretty stpid, add wsome shading to it.

farinhabb (Level 1 Rookie) at 2/5/2007 12:28:04 PM

That crazy cow...Some antialising. Unfinished?

vanSchmidt (Level 1 Intern) at 12/7/2006 11:58:02 AM

I find it amusing how we like cows, especially this one. Though, one word: gross" Perphaps another word: Luv the style, and colour.... though thats not just one word.

silent sniper (Level 1 Depressed) at 11/11/2006 11:23:40 AM

pshhhhhhhhh- thats a funny one

TheChaindog (Level 4 Murderer) at 8/23/2006 4:53:16 AM

I have to admit, I wasn't really impressed until I saw you did it with only 16 colors. I can safely say that I am now.

=^D Guy (Level 3 Enforcer) at 8/22/2006 7:50:27 PM

4-Bit chocolate? Look, there are four colors, not four bittage. But, anyways, nice work.

2dgamers (Level 1 Jukyu) at 8/21/2006 7:15:31 PM

LOVE this style and it's wonderful use of color and shading. Very, very, NICE!

(Someone forgot to milk this cow, now she's leaking all over the place.)

annezca (Level 1 Rookie) at 8/6/2006 9:50:42 PM

lovely... i like how you did it.. it's good enough without anti aliasing it..

rabidbaboy (Level 4 Shichikyu) at 8/2/2006 4:11:51 PM

lol, very amusing!

OMFGonzo (Level 1 Quiet One) at 6/26/2006 11:29:36 PM

Holy shit... win win win win

Kryon (Level 1 Depressed) at 6/26/2006 3:42:28 PM

Made me feel kinda patriotic. +5 and a fav. Amazing technique.

cure (Level 11 Sensei) at 6/26/2006 2:54:07 PM

Personally that red is a little too saturated for my tastes. And I agree with Faktablad, the different themes going on makes it look a little busy and random.

Aleiav (Level 2 Quiet One) at 6/24/2006 5:22:55 PM

This is really awesome looking. :) I love the lineart and design.

ZoSo (Level 3 Chief) at 6/24/2006 5:21:15 AM

Awesome colours, very nice

raynoa (Level 5 Soldier) at 6/23/2006 12:36:55 AM

Great dither technique!

Lawrence (Level 10 Operative) at 6/22/2006 10:26:02 AM

I love the brush stroke style. This is great especially taking into account the 16 colours.

buloght (Level 6 Hitman) at 6/21/2006 3:32:24 PM

You have a great style and your work is amazing!

7sons (Level 1 Rookie) at 6/21/2006 2:01:05 PM

das bidchen hab ich doch schon wo gesehen?

fil_razorback (Level 5 Lieutenant) at 6/21/2006 3:32:37 AM

Tu vas faire concurrence à Milka :D

Allez hop, jte fav ^^

Blueberry_pie (Level 7 General Manager) at 6/21/2006 2:51:24 AM

16 colours? Damn, that's amazing. I'm really digging the whole diagonal-square-shading thing going on here.

Gas 13 (Level 9 Necrophiliac) at 6/21/2006 2:02:26 AM

Amazing play of colors. Reminds me of sweet demoscene times somewhy :)

Faktablad (Level 6 SWAT) at 6/20/2006 8:34:42 PM

I agree that the shading looks like something from one of Cyclone's pieces. I don't really like the shading on the body, though, it seems as though you used too much light blue. Also the fact that there's a lot of different styles going on in the piece makes it look a bit like a collage, like everything isn't supposed to go together. Otherwise, really fantastic stuff.

Blick (Level 6 Commander) at 6/20/2006 8:02:55 PM

The use of colors and dithering makes me think of a few of Cyclone's pieces. I love the idea, the colors, the character, the technique, just everything.

tamzqueen (Level 1 Rookie) at 6/20/2006 7:53:41 PM

Thats udderly the best graphic/pixel i've seen today! I love the way you've done sideway brush stroke styles on the cows cheeks

halotank (Level 2 Petty Officer) at 6/20/2006 6:15:43 PM

WTF@o_O.com
That's awesome XD

HMC (Level 6 Serial Killer) at 6/20/2006 6:02:33 PM

WHOOAAAA. *head explodes*

ptoing (Level 7 Underboss) at 6/20/2006 5:46:26 PM

haha, this is great. some parts could be more aa'ed with what you have. esp the cows cheek.
5/5 fav
