Photocopier (Level 11 Godfather) @ 6/11/2009 13:14

I love this :) the little details like that house are nice

Lahra (Level 1 Rookie) @ 6/11/2009 09:54

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

metaldev (Level 5 Killer Klown) @ 1/25/2009 12:46

HAPPY YEAR OF THE OX! ^_^

O_o wow

Dex (Level 11 CEO) @ 9/27/2008 19:15

How did I miss this? Awesome!

Faktablad (Level 6 SWAT) @ 1/6/2008 09:32

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

tomic (Level 11 Admiral) @ 1/6/2008 04:42

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) @ 1/5/2008 21:06

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) @ 12/16/2007 10:35

That looks like some nice milk chocolate.

Mille (Level 7 Mass Murderer) @ 8/27/2007 03:51

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

D-Puff (Level 2 Kukyu) @ 6/21/2007 16:26

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

Zhou9 (Level 1 Rookie) @ 6/21/2007 16:13

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

Miumau0 (Level 6 Made) @ 2/19/2007 11:23

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

farinhabb (Level 1 Rookie) @ 2/5/2007 12:28

That crazy cow...Some antialising. Unfinished?

vanSchmidt (Level 1 Intern) @ 12/7/2006 11:58

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) @ 11/11/2006 11:24

pshhhhhhhhh- thats a funny one

TheChaindog (Level 4 Murderer) @ 8/23/2006 04:53

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) @ 8/22/2006 19:50

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

2dgamers (Level 1 Jukyu) @ 8/21/2006 19:16

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) @ 8/6/2006 21:51

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

rabidbaboy (Level 4 Shichikyu) @ 8/2/2006 16:12

lol, very amusing!

OMFGonzo (Level 1 Depressed) @ 6/26/2006 23:30

Holy shit... win win win win

Kryon (Level 1 Depressed) @ 6/26/2006 15:42

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

cure (Level 11 Godfather) @ 6/26/2006 14:54

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) @ 6/24/2006 17:23

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

ZoSo (Level 3 Chief) @ 6/24/2006 05:21

Awesome colours, very nice

raynoa (Level 5 Soldier) @ 6/23/2006 00:37

Great dither technique!

Lawrence (Level 10 Operative) @ 6/22/2006 10:26

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

buloght (Level 6 Hitman) @ 6/21/2006 15:32

You have a great style and your work is amazing!

7sons (Level 1 Rookie) @ 6/21/2006 14:01

das bidchen hab ich doch schon wo gesehen?

fil_razorback (Level 5 Lieutenant) @ 6/21/2006 03:33

Tu vas faire concurrence à Milka :D

Allez hop, jte fav ^^

Blueberry_pie (Level 7 General Manager) @ 6/21/2006 02:51

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

Gas 13 (Level 9 Boss) @ 6/21/2006 02:02

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

Faktablad (Level 6 SWAT) @ 6/20/2006 20:35

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 7 Captain) @ 6/20/2006 20:03

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) @ 6/20/2006 19:54

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
