Bonnie the Cow

Bonnie is the protagonist of my senior film, “By the Horns” (2015). She is a lonely, mild-mannered dairy cow who falls in love with a mechanical bull through the windows of a country bar. In the film, Bonnie is bipedal but sometimes quadrupedal, as well as clothed at certain points, so she has several different model sheets seen below. The challenge was creating an expressive but highly animation-friendly character who could function on both two legs and four.
