this can be quite a controversial topic, becouse if a person from now was somehow put 2000 years into the future, im pretty sure that the human race of that time would consider him as a caveman and our time as being stone age.

True.
Wich confuses me a bit.
Should it be some degenerated future human, who lives in a cave (without modern comforts).
Or should the cave be high-tech?

But I guess it's the degenerated one?
But then again, how can we seperate that one from a "normal" caveman?
Suppose it's up to the artist.

Sounds like a great fun though!

[Tom Garden]

hmn...future caveman.....innnnnteresstiiiinnnnng

[newman]

Suppose it's up to the artist.


that was the plan! it's a bit of an open one i know.
does anyone know if i can enter myself? (fnar)
or are the topic pickers barred?

[grenogs]

from what ive seen of the other threads, you can newman, but remember, NO OLD IMAGES ;)

[mediaslave]

Ever have a topic where you knew exactly what you wanted to do the minute you saw it?

This one should be a fun one!

[grenogs]

yes, but at moment i am clueless, lol

[Vulgar`]

These character topics have been on fire lately. Good luck to the participants.

[BurntUmber]

This topic hurts my limited intelect. Whats wrong with something simple like 'galactic nuclear sniping champion' or something :(

[Manuel_Calavera]

Topics for ChoW became quite schematic lately. I waited for this one with hope and now I'm disapointed. Is ChoW going to be a niche only for Fallout and Mad Max fans?

[corspufo]

Just weird enough to throw my hat in.

I'm kinda new, so I feel kinda wierd about telling another guy what to say, but you;re being really closed minded. Why not make it a utopian society where people have moved back to nature? Nobody said it had to be Mad Max styles, last time I checked.

[Hunger_Artist]

... Mcdonaldzzz!

I hope you join Newman :) I don't see any reason why the topic picker would be barred from frolicking in the dirt with the rest of us.

[life on the sofa]

IF YOU DONT LIKE the topic use your imagination to stretch it as far as is possible, do something un expected. cavemen..dont have to be brutal dumbass neanderthals. future cavemen could be a well dressed upper class family sitting at a mahognay table in a cave with micro chip brains or something that or it could be thugish, brute neanderthals, with 7 testicles and 2 vaginas dragging around a laser cannon...(hey who knows what the future holds? :P)

im gnatry and participate this time, although my work isnt realy to par of this competition usualy level :)

[newman]

Manuel_Calavera: sorry you don't like it mate
mediaslave: cheers for defending it!

i started one yesterday but it wasn't going anywhere (the more finished pic).
gave up on that one and started a new one:

[newman]

todays lunchtime update:

[Rist]

You could have a caveman battleling a knight and it would still be considered within the themes rules. Tempting theme, I might join this one.

[grenogs]

newman i quite like the new design, but maybe a flat screen tv would be better. becouse at the moment he looks like he could be in the 20th century.

[Tom Garden]

i'm trying not to paint brendan fraser in that george of the jungle film.....so tempting.....

anyhow - great works so far, like how yours is shaping up newman!

[Ifman1]

Well, heck no! You should be painting Brendan Fraser in his Encino Man film! Fits the topic much better!

[daestwen]

Here's my WIP.

Critique would be awesome.

[grenogs]

looking good, but just the one question daestwen, any reason why he has celtic style symbols on his body?

[mime]

very nice topic. I fear I won't have any time this week for the CHOW, too much work, but this should be a good one with great entries !

[JJ McKool]

todays lunchtime update:

There goes my idea. Damn you!

[ACRO]

INSPIRED BY Science Channel Super Comet after the Impact

Twice as big as the meteor that swept the Dinosours millions of years ago.
After the largest recorded meteor impact ever recorded in human history hit the earth.

what would happen to civilization, the continents, and the seas?
when scorching 800 degree ring travels across the planet and incenerates everything in its path.
Follow a group of survivors from across the planet and experience thier hardships.

The air unbarable, incredible Fire Rain, and scarce food.
As a "future Caveman" imagine what my character looks like....
WIP comin soon

[Jockemon]

Future caveman or something... :bashful:

:moon:

[Sellis]

I'm confused! Are we doing 'Future Caveman' because the ones so far although good would suggest 'Historical Caveman in a Modern Context'? :\

[grenogs]

well im guessing that anyone who lives in a cave would be classed as a caveman. maybe future stone age man would be a better title, that way we could have flat screen stone tv's , or electric powered stone ferrari's, a stone hi-fi where he could listen to all his rock music, sorry i mean stone music, lots of imagination here, but a future caveman could basicly wear lots of tin foil, or a normal suit and tie and drive your normal ferrari, and as long as his house is made of a cave, hes a caveman.

well...yeah...if you want to be a pedant about it!:)

[grenogs]

i just realised, i remember seeing a similer image and article in a magazine years ago, lol

[Migsta]

Wouldn't a future caveman just be a skeleton? Present day cavemen are just skeletons....hmmm Not sure I'm in on this one, but if I were, I would make a skeleton...lol

[grenogs]

not neceseraly, in the future, recreating extinced anaimals from dna could be very common, so therefore any caveman could actualy be walking around as any other human, i guess it would be something similer to futurama

[dabble]

Nice WIPs everyone...I'm surprised not many entries yet, I'm sure they will pour in towards the final burning. Here's my WIP, hope I'll have enough time to get it to a decent level. Nice WIPs everyone .

Story...still working it out. goes something like this. Year 4000+, mankind has lost is "spark" what makes us human. Future humans are in search of human samples from our timeline. They search for intact samples from caves in the north pole and Antarctica.

[Antne]

Thought I'd show the progress here. I may add text like a pulp comic cover for fun. not sure yet.

[newman]

phew! glad some more people are starting to post; i thought there were only going to be three of us in the poll!!
stuck my final up in the other thread.

p.s. if anyone can bring themselves to vote for me again i promise i'll pick a better topic!

[Obscura]

Neat. I might join in on this one... :P

[ikuru]

Oh, quiet thread.... Final posted over there in the art room.. yeah.

[Ifman1]

Been forever since I played in here with you guys. This stuff is fun! Although I can't believe there isn't more participation in something as much fun as this topic!

I just posted my final over in the other place....I guess I'll put up a WIP here. Just to do it.

[JL.Alfaro]

This one looks like fun, Havent participated in a while- will post something soon. :)

[MONGOSMASH!]

Mongo Smash! How is the foreshortening on his left arm?

[JL.Alfaro]

is he a midget?

the shoulder area looks a bit odd

[Thalion]

bizzare topic... :)

Antne- nice image:D

[daestwen]

looking good, but just the one question daestwen, any reason why he has celtic style symbols on his body?

I was figuring some king of electrical-implant / nanorobots that glow with blue veins kind of thing, that plugged into the cave... so even though it looked totally and completely ancient with no technology whatsoever, it was actually all wired together and he was wired to it...

or something. >>;

[rodriguez]

posted my final in the burner

[daestwen]

Yeah... looks like I won't be able to finish this one guys. I left the file on my computer at school, was an idiot, and didn't back it up on my portable hard drive. -_-

[MONGOSMASH!]

Its still Sunday! Still working!

[Slash]

So.. deadline was sunday eh? well.. guess i missed it. Well, here's my WIP, for what its worth..

[ACRO]

sorry i wasnt able 2 participate..... but im back


pretty good render slash cant wait to see it colored



qwerty i think his legs are 2 short
a regular person is 8 heads tall? check your porportions

[grenogs]

nice image slash, but wheres the future part in it?

Also i dont want to be nity picky in any way, and yes i know its fantasy, but everyone seems to be making their cavemen like bodybuilders, which i think is slighty wrong. They could almost have been called scavengers, eating whatever they could find, much like any animal would. body wise they would probably be more like any of todays native tribes around the world, like some of the Amazonian tribes that live off the jungle. And not like some muscle bound guy that looks like he had been pumping iron all day.
And if fantasy is everyones excuse, then wheres the pet Dinosours

[MONGOSMASH!]

qwerty i think his legs are 2 short
a regular person is 8 heads tall? check your porportions

Well he's not a regular person he's a nuclear caveman- who were about three feet tall. And purple.

Hopefully for next week I won't spend hours and hours on the head and fudge the rest of the figure.

[Wholewheat_keyboard]

Ack! - I wish you had been able to get that in Slash, your image would've been fun too see finished

[emendez]

I know it's late but this was the caveman I was working on.
