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, the theme for Chow #46 is The Alchemist, go as wild with that theme as you want, its loose for a reason

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.

they were always turkeyonasticks threads, you'd have to ask him or someone else if they wanted to bring them back, the chow is hard enough as it is to keep on schedule

The general rule for weeklies is that you pm the latest host (if he's active) or a mod if he doesnt respond... I'd love a new COW personally; just be sure to check on the old ones and take off with the right number.

why is she squatting?

i see that as more of a dynamic pose than squatting -_-

It does look pretty uncomfortable, I'm guessing you improvised, either way looking good

this is super disappointing news -_____________-
thanks though. :3

To show off her fabulous groin, obviously

Allow me to elaborate. I think she looks weird/uncomfortable is because you can see the bottom of her groin and ass. How she's standing, that shouldn't really be possible. All I did was get rid of her ass, it looks much more natural. Granted, she's still squatting, but she doesn't look like she's in weird pose.

WIP. He looks quite strange lol.

yeah, maybe i'll have to go back and fix that up. thanks ben :3

His hands seem abit small if they are that close to the "camera" you can say.. But this piece looks promising

And!... I don't think you would see the top of that table in the foreground...

Meh. I tried I guess.
