ok, first… the cow is brilliant… and a must have! i think his eyes need to be “tweaked” though, if possible… i initially mistook them for nostrils…
but… and this comes in a strong second… why is there a naked dude standing next to said cow, and why is he staring at me…
Is it not normal to be completely naked around farm animals?
That might explain a lot …
I am seriously hoping that I am looking at his belly button …
I am actually in hysterics at the cows face … it’s not quite right. It looks like a monkey/duck face stuck on a cow head. Apart form that though loving the cow!
i just lol’d… i dislike lol-ing… please refrain from making me lol in the future…
nah… too easy
aye… something is a little off with the face… it could possibly be fixed with an eye adjustment though… 
@SteveAdamo Naked? He is not naked. He has a latex suit on which is (by chance) painted in body-color. Naked… pah.
@Geoffers747 Aha… apart from that it is ugly, you like it. Got it ,-)
I am also not so convinced about the colors. Let’s see what the next try brings… maybe also a calf (to really convince some pessimistic people).
P.S. The Latex Dude was put there for reference reasons, to assess if the cow is sized cowish enough.
Well now I look again … can I ask why you decided brown and white? And not a black and white cow? Also I think the body is either too tall … or gets too narrow at the top, although I understand it’s hard to get that shape without it looking like a massive cube!
oh my good gravy… if you make a cute baby calf, there will be much squeeee-ing…
Yeah, I think that color choice was one of my more brilliant moments today :-/. Was thinking about black and white but somehow thought that might be too mainstream.
On the body shape I find it rather hard to model that in a way so it feels right. That’s more or less my first animal created from scratch. I kind of like that the back of the cow gets higher at the end and has a lower part in the middle. But agree that I might have tried to put too many details into this one.
So, second try… without PG-rating this time:
I think the body looks a lot better … there are more cows than obviously the black and white ones, but to me that’s what you think of when you think cow, so perhaps to distinguish them easily that might be a better choice, but who knows!
Face is also a lot better now, still doesn’t look quite right but I’m not sure why … maybe it’s too many blocks forward?
Really nice work going on here. 
However, as already stated the cow’s face is off. I think the first version was better. The back of the head, the top of the head and the length of the lower jaw are good. They seem to have the right size, but the face is too small and it has two foreheads. The second row above the eyes is the small forehead. This should be move something like two steps up and one or two steps back. I’m guessing a good position for the eyes would be two steps up, one step back and one step to the side.
Something like that.
Or wait. I changed my mind about moving the forehead. It has two foreheads, but if you just move the eyes then you can take the flat area around where the eyes are now and just extrude it 2 steps forward.
@Geoffers747 and @Agon Thanks for your constructive feedback. I think the truth might be somewhere in your joint feedback. For the moment I am quite happy with mama-cow and baby-bull. At least it improved ^^.
its amazing what a coat of paint can do! 
the momma cow looks significantly better (in terms of coloring and in the updated head)… and i love the calf… she’s just awfully cute…
Definitely a lot better … I feel the back legs of the calf are set back a little too much?
Apart from that though definitely getting there!
Good to have some additional eyes taking a look into it and sharing their opinion… appreciate it and it helps to improve the design.
@Geoffers747 I wanted to give it a more “groggy” look, like it is not yet very confident on the legs. Maybe the angle deludes a bit, they are not that far behind I think.
So @tom … do we get some milk now? 
Ah definitely the angle, it looks fine from the back
agreed, slap on the mammoth’s frolicking animation and you have yourself an instant winner…
But I want the ears to move around… and the tail :-/
I’m just glad you’re not animating certain parts of the nude model.
That calf is adorable! _
And I do like the cow, though it’s not the image that I saw in my head. I think we just aim for different levels of realism.
Here’s my suggestion. I hope you don’t mind. 
Somehow I could imagine to use your coloring scheme more for a bull. The dark color makes it more serious in my eyes and loses a bit of the cuteness.
P.S. @SteveAdamo % @Geoffers747 Will there be an option to start a petition for cows in the Discourse-Forum?
