Hi everyone, this is Clarus the Dogcow. Unless you were born in the 80's, you probably have never seen Clarus where he originated (Like me. I'm only 14). But, because of my love of Apple I have recreated Clarus in Minecraft entirely by hand.
Here is a description of Clarus from Wikipedia:
"The image of the dogcow was used to show the orientation and color of the paper in Mac OS page setup dialog boxes. HCI engineer Annette Wagner made the decision to use the dog from the Cairo font as a starting point for the page graphic. Annette edited the original font and created a larger version with spots more suitable for demonstrating various printing options. The new dog graphic had a more bovine look, making it arguably less clear as to what animal it was intended to be, and after the print dialog was released the name 'dogcow' came into use."

Here's the sound the Clarus makes: db.tt/NZ0cXe5S
Texture pack in pictures is my custom John Smith Pack.

Additional Notes
I am planning on making more like these. I might even do all of the Mac OS icons and release it as a world or something like that. I was also thinking of doing a Steve Jobs tribute. So subscribe and see what comes out of the sick twisted mind of mine!Credit | Annette Wagner for making the dogcow in the first place. And Steve Jobs, for Apple (: |
