Extensive review:

* Shading
Decent shading, slightly subtle. I honestly don't have anything else to add.

* Colour
It's a cow, the colours are appropriate and the shading of white skin/fur uses fitting colours.

* Concept
Turning a bipedal bull into a bipedal cow is all fine, but I miss some detail. There's just a plain cow with a wooden log and shorts. Try to develop it further by adding armour, ornaments.. anything that fits in.

* Detail
The fur is nicely done and the face is excellent. However, as stated under Concept, there's not a whole lot of details. It is really the only thing this texture is missing.

I'd also suggest you change the end of the log, although I see what you're trying to do, it doesn't work out that great and ends up diminishing the overall quality of the skin.

* Wrap
The UW is applied seamlessly to the model, well done.

yes you are right the whole log is in a bad too comicish quality. to defend me a bit i just wanted to finish it after painting toooo much time until 7 o'clock in the moring.
it try to improve that!

that was the idea to have a plain cow :) always theres a armor here a weapon there,so the skins are often overloaded. i just wanted to do a "less is more" skin

This is lookin' very cool o_O

hahaha first time i didnt get any critique from you misha, iam kinda proud :)

I agree with you. So many skins are armored and armed with weapons, that it is almost impossible to find the peaceful villagers, or unarmored beasts. And in modern earth lore, minotaurs were never described as having armor or weapons. But, that aside, you are correct. Less is more, making it stand out among others. Isn't that the point, to make one's work stand out in the crowd?

I like how you made the hair. I think the skin came out great!

Ooooh dear. I'm being won over by it's genuine cuteness. The eyes have charmed me very badly. As in matter of fact, I love it a lot more than the current Tauren and will probably use it in my map. But then my brother will be unhappy because I'm using a cow and not a actual Tauren. The reason why I don't like the current Tauren is because Blizzard was being naughty and didn't do a good job on the eyes. They say that eyes give life (referring to a Chinese folklore story).

Loving this tenfold. By every means, add an icon and I'm instantly sold.

Hmmm... I will send a PM.
