My name is Moo

For those who do not know CowParade (read below*) and their store (store.cowparade.com/), this idea is based on one of their cows. I so loved the design I wanted to recreate such cow in photoshop 3D. In this piece I struggled mostly with perspective and the light, although the 3D helped to see things better. The cow with the pawns is all 3D rendered, the rest painted.

CowParade is an international public art exhibit that has been featured in major world cities. Fiberglass sculptures of cows are decorated by local artists, and distributed over the city centre, in public places such as train stations, important avenues, and parks. They often feature artwork and designs specific to local culture, as well as city life and other relevant themes. After the exhibition in the city, which lasts many months, the cows are auctioned off and the proceeds donated to charity. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CowParade)
