Thank you Daestwen and Poshspice!

[JessiBean]

Okay! I am putting myself in here, cause I SO epic phail on finishing... but NO MOAR!

CHOW goodness to follow...

[Teigrob]

Sweet! Count me in. I was just bemoaning the fact that I didn't finish the Space Smuggler in time. Will post her soon!

Update 9/4:

Here's my 24th Century Space Smuggler. If anyone's interested in my wips and conceptual artwork, please visit my sketchbook (http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?p=1912605#post1912605).

Well, my shading's kinda crummy...

[smugbug]

I gotta Space Smuggler and a few others.

This is great! Thanks

ETA: Awright, I'm revisting! Here's CHOW 124. *We've caught our smuggler and her co-pilot in the middle of a disagreement....

daest: Good call on the muddiness. I'm fixing that!

[Asatira]

I've come up with a little list. I'm in.

[tomwaits4noman]

Space smuggler and Red Sonja

I will probably work on these again when I get a chance happy with the pose etc but the colours and lighting are dull on both - something I need to work on. Feedback and advice welcome via pm.

[Wiggers]

What a great idea!!

[Skrunchey]

OOOOooooooooh count me in! There are so many that have been started, and then lost the will to finish because life got in the way of the deadlines... So glad to be here! GREAT THREAD!! Final entries HERE I COME!!

[daestwen]

I'm saving this space for my own entries, as well as comments for other people.

Teigrob: Niiiice. Her expression is great!

Pat: Haha, I love it! My only crit is that the colours are a little muddy in places - i have a feeling it's due to the grey. But I love the alien dude, he's awesome!

[petitemistress]

Placeholder! im looking through old threads to see which i wanted to do... Amaterasu was one i wanted to try :D

[Saturns Gate]

Heres that space smuggler. Totally forgot about her actually! :)

[Pixeltuner]

Great idea :) Spot reserved. Still want to finish my John Carter and Space Smuggler.

[zenichi]

reserve a place??? yikes... sounds really eeriee... like a catacombs of passsss CHOWwwwww..... >:D

anyway for CHOW 125
another WIP...i think the legs are a bit short... plus need to expand the canvas to include the missing legs... or crop it further to focus more on the character's face....

from SB (wanted a more mature response from the character, his contentment, looking at the village that was told will benefit from his death, thinking: at least his death will amount to something of a greater good... with that. maybe the brief's ceiling age of 10 for this kid.... anatomy is off, especially the shortened legs....was originally sketch mirror, flip it to check for anatomy anomalies... found plenty.)

plus the kid looks more like Egyptian than Aztec descendant...

Chow #122 - Red Sonja: It was a busy week and sadly I only made it as far as the pencil sketch. (posting soon)
Chow #124 - Space Smuggler: Took some of the crits and made the adjustments. I like it better; I'm new to color though and mentally I'm still picking it apart...grrr...

[dawnusllaw]

O.o this is awesome! I'm marking my space, but I promise not to have *too* many revisits... so many i was sad to miss!

[feifeicreate]

Here's my 24th century space smuggler and her alien side-kick. I can't believe I actually finish this thing! anyway...I know the background is a bit rushed...but I hit that point when I'm just done with this painting.

comments and critiques would be appreciated :D

I really enjoyed it. still experimenting with various styles to kind of feel the water of digital painting. Will try something new next time.

[JessiBean]

Some rockin space smugglers...

Scribs, I love her sass and pose, very very nice. Maybe just work towards a little more color harmony, you have saturated yellow and green and red, maybe something a little subtle next go round to balance out? Awesome work!
feifeicreate - awesome progress there, too, just watch those black shadows on the tummy, the purples you have on the leg look much more sophisticated and less muddy.

Been poking at Scheherazade cause I really, REALLY wanted to finish her, but Ike had other plans. Should be close to done soon...

[Kreator]

cool! space reserved... I always get to the chow on fri afternoon and never finish.

[Jazz]

Yaaaaay!! This'll be perfect for me!! @_@ I had some ideas way back and never even STARTED, let alone got to finish! ...Except for one... o_o

Anyway, so I guess I could put my picture place here and see what all I come up with!! :D

[MJ_Alcazar]

I'm so glad this thread was started. I think I may finish that Little Mermaid design that I had. Plus there are a few others in here that sounded really interesting that I wanted to try my hand at.

[zephyri]

Hurrah that this thread idea got approved! Here's my lineart for the mermaid Chow, just in the process of painting it traditionally... and jessi, looking forward to the progress on that Arabian Tales piece, I'd love to see it finished up!

[S.C. Watson]

Chow#127 - The Little Mermaid... Was ill so missed the deadline but here she is in mer and human form:

[Cam Sykes]

I tried to get the values right before colouring, still practising with the greyscale coliouring method. If anyone can help would be most appreciated because I'm not really happy with the colour version. Really want to get it good as I can for a portfolio piece.

OK an update, finished for now, might go back and work on it later for fun.

[vineris]

Coloured up the "Aztec Sacrifice" picture and removed the facepaint. It made her look like a ninja turtle. :P

Next up, I should probably finish the Little Mermaid WIP.

[timothee]

Ok, I corrected some issues I had with my Bathory character. Here's where it is now.

[Cookiedough]

Bettie Page-Chow:
I have a soft spot for Bettie Page. So when she died, i drew 1 pic based on a photo of her and finished that in time for the chow. The rest however was more based on several pix and more based on the 'feel'. These are actually just a few of them, i still have 6 to 9 more of them to finish....

Some of the pix might be a bit naughty, i was a li'l disappointed to see that with the chow the bondage/sm side wasn't explored more. So, here are my versions, if they're too much, please pm and i'll edit. No, that's not bubblegum.

Chow 152: Mary of the Blue Lights:
Did another one, fairly late.

[Windsrock]

My Super villain Self-portrait
So it's me as Conan the Barbarian -styled character: Evileye, Goddess of all cruel subjectors... or something, can't find the right word now. Will hopefully post more works later. Thanks for the opportunity :)
And Baba Yaga. I might do another version with computer later.

[daestwen]

Did a bit more work on my sith, enough to post it here, anyway. :P

[Nether]

zephyri Very nice and clean lineart, and I like the duality of the piece. You have also a very good grasp of that art nouveau style.

feifeicreate Your space smuggler looks very punk and very drunk. :) I like the cybernetic arm being tinkered.

I never got around to finish my E.G. Brownstone, private investigator of the paranormal, in time for CHOW #148 deadline. After finally finding time to finish it, here it is in all it's glory.

[Tavarilyn]

I had almost forgotten about this thread.... SPACE SAVER!! :]

Soon to come... Sirs Chow Not Appearing in the Thread! :]

[mcmatz]

Missed the deadline by a few hours because my pea-brain scrambled the timezone.

The final Doctor as a ginger-haired schoolboy.

[Aly Fell]

Came back to Joan of Arc as I didn't finish it for the final. It could probably do with a bit more tweaking really!

[bangalore_monkey]

Found myself getting a little bored, decided to take a crack at an old CHOW, actually the First, Near Future Distopian “Urban Corsair”.

thought i might as well post it here.

EDIT: new one, Based on the "four Brothers" theme.

Final illustration added for "urban Corsair

[NickTrip]

I'm likely to re-do Erica: Zombie Slayer (ha, its not even done yet), as well as others to come, so I'm gettin' me some real estate here.

[Muninn]

Really nice Joan of Arc!

Sadly didn't have time to finish it before the deadline, but here's the result anyways:
(Chow 160 - Erika the zombieslayer)

[Wingedchime]

This was for Lesser Demons challenge. I really wanted to paint something but run out of time and started this two hours before submissions were up.

He's a Jelly Bean demon, who makes you hungry for jelly beans, and then eat them till your jaw hurts. Initially I planned different setting for this, but there it is..

[ninyanernel]

i really wanted to do the endless chow but i never had the time (and the mindset) to do it. then one boring afternoon, i decided to give it a try again. although i originally had delirium in mind, this is desire.

[fluorine]

The NPC design, I have 2 characters left unfinished when the time is up :( Here's the complete Line up. I'm just glad I actually finished 16 characters in 3 days... LOL, I think I need to take a break...

Background Story:

Xinjing, meaning New Capital, is the capital city of Imperial China. After the old capital city Beijing become inhabitable because of the endless sand storm, the government decided to build a new capital city south of Beijing. The project took years to finish, the workers moving from all over the country to build the magnificent city. The workers quarter slowly became the "Old Town", and in the middle of the it, the Imperial Quarter stood. Including the Imperial Palace, government department complex, the financial district, and the West Lake Garden, the famous entertainment and shopping district.

----

I find it took me about 2 hours to finish one character~~~ LOL, Well, i know they're not really detailed rendering, but the point of this exercise is not rendering, but overall design, to create a feel of a city through characters... Well, I'm far away from my goal, but I think I had a good start.

[Clockwork Bunny]

Missed the deadline due to going in to labour early :)
so here's my carnival piece and a little pic of Oskar.

[burntsienna]

This is a great idea. I already have one for a past CHOW (revisit/missed) and one for a revision (which coincidentally is still going on. :P )

Saladin - he's a very iconic and amazing figure (character) from history. Often misunderstood and ill-informed about all his accomplishments and deeds.

#178 - Still in voting process, but I couldn't help but post a better version of it. I'm not so concerned about the voting. However I did want to fix a few things that I missed late at night - less frills, but easier to read.

Lots of great topics from the past.

Cheers

[natelyon]

CHOW 178 Universal Monsters

Had a nasty compuetr virus and had to reformat so its a bit on the late side :( Ah well, wanted to finish her anyway :)

http://www.conceptart.org/forums/picture.php?albumid=1750&pictureid=9645

[mythril_golem]

last week's chulainn pic. not too happy with the outcome tbh, any crits welcome.

[wildcat0571]

I can never seem to finish on time so this is a great thing for me to actually take my time and do until I get better and faster! Thank you so much CHOW for giving us this opportunity!

Here is one where you were to turn yourself into a Villian with a power. I wish I could have the power to Shapeshift. May add a background later though!

[Ruri]

Missed the Morrigan deadline.
http://knowyourmeme.com/i/21238/original/slogbyyb.jpg?1254293205

Here she is.

[waru]

I thought the deadline was Monday at midnight, not Monday at 5PM! So I missed the chance for my first entry into CHOW.

Here's my mystic gunslinger anyway, though.

[Larriva Art]

Inspired by the Rosie the Necromancer challenge. Came out sort of Lady Frankenstein. 9" x 12" Oil on panel.

[Creedy]

starting with the first I ever managed to finish
but my account wouldn't get activated so...

[Auspiciouspanda]

Very cool thread, think i'll definitely be posting in here some more.

Never finished my Gaia CHOW on time, but here's as far as i got.

[FilRam]

Here's my version of Marie Antoinette in chow208, couldn't make it in time...but here she is:)

[Phrix]

Space saver!

In the mean time I've been using my sketchbook (http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=217661) to post all of my WIPs for unfinnished CHoW's.
(None of them are finished at the moment so I can't post anything here yet. XD)

[madhatter106]

So glad this thread exists. I didn't get to revise my Cthulhu Mythos Cultist (CHOW 247) in time, so here he (it) is...

[Kanji2000]

CHOW 249 - Warrior Alice

Didn't pay attention to the GMT timezone...Thought I had 3 hours left...Turns out I missed it by around 5 hours...Oh well...

http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a317/Kanji2000/Assignment%20Sketches/Chow_249_Warrior_Alice-1.jpg

[ENNEX]

I never get any of them done in time. >_> This was for the Red Riding Hood CHoW, I don't remember what number it was...lol.

[Rob Powell]

Revised version for the beastmaster topic. Added feathers in her hair and staff, a more interesting (though not by much) background, and some rim lighting. I like the way this turned out, though there were still a few other things I'd like to tweak here and there, but I can't work on this for forever.

[Saleem]

Thank god for this thread. I am gonna try and finish all the chows.

[Suneater]

Really felt like doing the female Sith Lord, and while working decided to do more of the old CHOWs.

Anyway, here's Darth Vyrscha
