Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

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

Here is my WIP, i dont have enough dark colors for a background still in pencil just incase i need to change something.

W00T! CHOW's on, excited to participate! been dying for external inspiration and this one is right up my alley (in the platonic sense)

oh, my vote--zerothief :D

Hopefully I can get the picture done, didn't think I was gonna become busy this week... Something unexpected has come up.

I'm finally getting started on mine....
:3 Its a 3D model too

Thoroughly ballsed this one up, so I'm just gunna say it's finished. Good practice, though!

Full size.

GOOD GOD. xD
(in a good way. i think. :D )

I finally started on mine a little bit ago... here's what I have so far.

sketch... I don't have a reference for the lady, I think the posemaniacs practice is starting to pay off a bit... not too happy about her left thigh though

Yay! for chow!! :D

wip.

Meh, calling it done.
Damn I'm rusty as hell. I need to practice more.

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.

here's my entry, thanks for reviving CHOW---how I have missed it

is she a queen? maybe, I suppose it depends on your devotion to the lady ; }

I second that motion---doesn't seem abnormally short to me either
