If you dont know, chow stands for character of the week and is a weekly art competition run just for fun, and after a long hiatus its back, in my not so capable hands, this weeks theme is, the black queen, take that anyway you want, think outside the box, thats what this is all about.

Art rules
- No ms paint
- Humanoid-ish creatures only (arms legs hands etc)
- Must be related to theme
- No other creatures unless they are the secondary focus of the piece
- Character must be original unless otherwise stated.
- Only one finished piece per person will be accepted into voting
- Work in progress pieces can be posted in this thread
- Finished pieces will also go in this thread. Be sure to link to any larger versions on the art portal.
- No uploading old art. While I might not be able to prove you did, it defeats the point - to learn and have fun.
- Make sure you put effort in. Art that clearly took no effort will not be eligible for voting.

since the last few chows didnt have voting threads, chow #44's voting will take place in this thread, then next week we will be back to having a seperate voting thread, 1 vote per person, vote for your favourite

rhunyc (art portal)
kamikaye (art portal)
zerothief (art portal)

Ahh shit.... Well... looks like I just got disqualified...
How the fuck did I forget that... Its Chow, not cow...

STUPID, STUPID, STUPID!

Ahh well... I got a cool Spider model out of it. Maybe I can get an honorable mention :P

This was the only thing that came to mind for Dark Queen anyway.

Maybe if you're going with the 8 or 9 heads height, but I usually go for a 2 head long torso.

i'm telling you man, it's anatomically correct xD we're talking neck to crotch right?
