The cow with the pawns is all 3D rendered, the islands and clouds painted. It took a while to popsition all the items together and texturing the cow. To seem the texture is a tedious work and eventually I fixed it with retouching the seems. 

 

For those who do not know CowParade, this idea is based on one of their cows. I so loved the design I wanted to recreate such cow in photoshop 3D.
