WHAT A ROUND - SPLENDID!!!

[Pale Rider]

* I wish I had seen CHOW 69 before Wednesday. I'll finish this one if it kills me!!

* Had more time to think about this one, but about the usual amount of time to draw it.

* Doing the colorwork. Prisma colors and some acrylic paint. I can't wait untill I can get Photoshop, takes so long this way...

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l284/Gylean/RR_Hood.jpg

I'm loving the entries so far!!

[filip]

looking good prepsage! looks like she's enjoying it :P

here's a first sketch
http://img412.imageshack.us/img412/1391/chow70jt6.jpg

[gtgauvin]

I was looking at my WIP, and found myself quite displeased with the composition ( though I'm sticking with the same basic concept). I think the pose is a little more interesting without obfuscating too many details. Moreover, it's a little more in line with what I've had in mind.

http://community.conceptart.org/gallery/I/2005/01/01/25722.jpg

OK; all done. All told, the concept isn't quite hwere I'd like it to be. Don't get me wrong, I'm plenty pleased with it on a technical level, but I don't think I quite conveyed the mood I was going for with the overall character design ( frankly she looks more like a dominatrix than I'd like). That being said, I'm going to go ahead with a full redesign of the character, just as a matter of personal ambition. But for now, here's my entry.

http://community.conceptart.org/gallery/I/2005/01/01/25920.jpg

[Woodlandwalker]

http://www.glensportfolio.com/woodlandwalker_chow70_LRRH.jpg
The first blow from the axe was the woodsman’s…a large gash down the beast’s side and gut. With a yelp and a whirl of fur and fangs it turned about… just then from the gash spilled some of its last undigested meal. A hand could be seen with a ring, grandmother’s ring, something inside Red snapped at that moment. Although she was a small girl, she found a strength inside her she had never felt before…pushing aside the woodsman, taking up his axe for her own she began swinging wildly. The wounded wolf trying to get away as blow after blow landed on its bloodied body. The woodsman trying desperately to calm the girl careened back with a mortal wound to the neck. No more would this girl shy away from terror again… no this was the turning point… from now on the wolves of the world (those with and without fur) would have to fear her… yes no longer would she live in fear… the beast lie dead at her feet but something of the beast was now inside her. A gurgling woodsman lay in the corner…soaked in blood, his axe was now hers and she would take it up time and again.
Killing was a justified end to a means… and she meant to do some killing!

[masque]

stage two and final (unless i tweak it again), trying to sculpt the volumes out of the dark with as few strokes as possible:

http://www.metrocast.net/~chipartist/ImagePost/masqueRedHood02.jpg

Red knows how to get the wolves howlin', oh yeah, she fills the house. We water the well, hell, we could piss in it and they'd never notice while she's on. She banks large, I tell ya, that basket of goodies is always topped. But she's a sweet kid, never runs with the wolves after hours, never takes the job home. To her Grandma. Really, her Grandma for gawdsake!

[naomiful]

This sounds fun, I'm gonna' try too !

"Little" Red Riding Hood isn't so little anymore...pictured on a recent wolf hunt in Alberta, Canada, the new spokeswoman for the NRA stomped all over her Pro-Gun Control opponent on Hannity & Colmes last Sunday: "I wear this red hood to remind me of the awful day I discovered my grandmother slain by a wolf...if my grandmother had had a gun, she would still be here today! Every citizen needs to exercise their right to bear arms to protect themselves from wildlife predators...and human predators as well! Do you think we'd have so many rapes in this country if every rape victim had pointed a snub-nosed .38 cal in their attackers face? I don't think so!"

[fooxoo]

My update, wonder when we have to hand these in :P:P:P

Good job everyone!

http://img525.imageshack.us/img525/355/redhoodcopync9.jpg

[hurricane]

good entries so far!!

here's my take...still wip with a few issues hehe
http://www.bjornhurri.com/sb/07/May/chow_wip01.jpg

[Vahn]

very cool sketches so far :xpld:

heres a first wip:

http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b120/Vahnin/REDg5.jpg

[blu-grrl]

This sounds like a fun topic for my first CHOW! :D Count me in!

Ok, here's a WIP. Not nearly as creative as some others that have been posted (and eerily similar to some others), but I like her, so that's cool :)

edit: looks like I'm not gonna have time to finish her. :( maybe next round though :)

http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb291/blu-grrl/Red-sketch-small.jpg

[c@s]

It's my first chow attempt :bashful:

final
http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n152/calebsouza/cas_chow70_RHpronta.jpg

[bluki]

hello everyone... this is my 2nd attempt to participate CHOW (the 1st one i even didn't finished it :( ) so this is my perception about modern day red riding hood:

after the incident with the wolf and granny, Red riding hood realizes that luck won't come twice, hunters won't there every time she needed help in danger, she knows that she have to be able to protect herself, so she learn many kinds of martial arts, and seeks the path of power, so she can protect herself anytime, and even maybe protect other people.

and this is my final piece:

http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h293/bluki/ChOW70redhood.jpg

[nilaffle]

Oi, guess I'm gonna throw in now. :) Hah my first CHOW... my first "...of the Week" actually.

[EDIT] Final.
http://www.dying-breed.net/nilah/conceptart/nilaffle_CHOW70_redridinghood.jpg

What's a young college student with a hefty tuition to do? Why, pick up a night job, of course. Clad in her signature red hoodie, she hits the streets once a month as a freelance werewolf hunter. Sure, the mortality rate for her line of work is pretty high, but so's the payscale. A good thing too, because genuine silver bullets are a necessary business expense.

[S.C. Watson]

Really diggin' Hurricane's. Nice work all.


{edit}

Okay. Final.


No.

Really.

[Scotwith1T]

Red Riding Hood ran too the city. There she became addicted to her own wolves, herion and sex, turning tricks for johns that treat her little more then a piece of meat. She wonders if this life in the modern world is worth it after a few bills are thrown her way and before the drugs enter her blood. She wonders about ending it, but these wolves are of her own making and the darkness is not the hunter that will save her.



http://img393.imageshack.us/img393/3589/redridinghoodcopyck4.jpg (http://imageshack.us)


A little rushed at the end, the back ground, and I wanted to make the road way filled with her own wanted addictions, just didn't have the time.

[Y.V.]

Hello's everyone, i wanted to participate in the previous CHOW but i found it out the night before the due line, anyways here is my try at this

eeee, i dunno if i can finish this =(


We of Bounty Magazine our proud to have the honor of interviewing a legend in our world, after fated run with Michael "Big Bad Wolf" Dehayes. Red was forever altered into who she became and her life's work. Here she is posted with Dehayes most prized possession, a wolf skin he often disguised while out assaulting the unsuspecting public.

Red riding Death we salute you as our huntress of the month

heya all :)

Lots of entries this week and some really awesome looking images!

[Tom Garden]

hi all,

Final
Modern Day Red Riding Hood
After the incident years ago involving the wolf and her grandma, red owes her life to one man, the hunter. He saved them both from death. Time has passed since then, and sadly her grandma has died, and following that the hunter became ill and also has passed away. But red decided to continue his legacy of protecting the local villages from the wolves in the forest. She hunts them down!!!
http://tomgarden.co.uk/Webpics/tomgarden_chow70_redriding.jpg

Not happiest with this really, BUT my skills are improving slightly over the past 4 chows i've done, so its really worth doing! :)

[Meatsworthy]

EDIT: As finished as I can get it, mine eyes can't judge how it looks anymore (sorry min :P).

http://img526.imageshack.us/img526/1041/meatsworthychow70modernkt5.jpg

[monstertree]

I'll try and get in on this one, maybe I can make up for my dire entry for the last CHow. Loads of great looking entries so far, I'm especially fond of the pieces by Hurricane and Meatsworthy ;)

Here's a wip. Having some problems with this but maybe some crits can sort me out? I was going to have Red swimming in the lake sorta splashing about, seems like everyone has gone for the wolf killer angle so I decided on her finally feeling safe in the woods...i dunno. My first problem is that the character would probably be too small to count as a character design as opposed to a scene.
Secondly I'm not loving the colours. I'm thinking of adding more darks to up the contrast? It just isn't feeling rich enough.I could do with a second opinion though.
Anyway, i'll stop going on and show the damn image already.

[vigostar]

Ive been pretty dormant around here lately.. but, Im going to make my return with this entry... Heres my place holder for now... Oh, crap.. the image upload feature isnt working?http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v402/vigostar/redridinghood.jpg

Taken with my cell camera... Still gotta work out some issues but this is the idea..


Bumskee-- bumskee--- Yeah, buddy.. Ive been on a huge artistic hump but, it seems like the motors are starting to turn again.... Im going to give this round my best go in a long time.. Eventhough women by far are not my speciality!

Bluefooted-- you know I didnt notice the small head and legs until I saw it on the computer.. I figure I have one more sketch after this update I'll draw it one more time today before I leave work and hopefully bang it out tomorrow during the day...!

Luckily for her, a Vampire Hunter was tracing this wolf and watch all the scene.
what call his attention was Such a stupid way to act of the werewolf.

In that moment he knew that he was find his pupil.
it was predestinate.

Years are past...
her training became her Harder, Stronger, Faster.
His Anger is Gathered.
She already reach her youth, is time to convert her into one of them.
... in a Vampire.
creating the most powerfull weapon against the Natural killers of his race.

She is now a DoubleEdge Weapon,
she is a natural prey to Werewolfs.
but in the other hand, werewolf become excited, trusting, confused, Idiots in prescence of her.
... but she is prepared.
AND READY TO TAKE REVENGE !!!

[bluefooted]

fridayeve: Gorgeous! Her face is so expressive and your brushwork and color choices are fantastic.

edujante: Love this stylized piece - the color on her legs is beautiful. I, too, wish we could see just a hint of her eyes.


Update: Woo! Done! I'm winging the contrast - it might be completely off.

Well, here is my WIP. Let's see if I can finish it. blah. Please don't be offended, people of the female gender. am I overloading on sexy??

Naomiful's entry is stunning, though. definitely getting my vote.

Here's my final.

- - - - -
Some great stuff going on. This is my first time into the chow, here's where I'm at so far,
I'm probably going to keep the coloring pretty graphic. The wolf may be just a silhouette shape for Red to contrast against too, I might change his posture too. We'll find out when I get there.
Keep up the good work all.

Also, maybe I missed the memo but did ca disable image hosting? Just wondering. Peace!

Hi all. I came back home late tonight, but decided to give it a try. So here is my WIP. I sketched something on paper, scaned it, and made a few modifications on Photoshop. I don' t know how "sexy" this piece is, and I realised I forgot the modern thing, but I'll work more on it tomorrow.

Some very good entries.
FridayEve, impressive use of colors. I second prepsage for the BG.
heartofnation, very nice brush work. I have no words.
edujante, nice stylization. This piece works.
Tommoy, I had a good laugh! Love it.

You guys push my inspiration high.

Ok, I am off to bed now!

[Antne]

Man There are some great entries this week. Holy crap! Here are some sketches and ideas I'm working on. Gotta work up a final illo though.

[Penumbra]

I was very inspired by Meatsworthy to try and break away from my obsession with rendering every detail. I know my Red has a way to go but this is a completely different direction than my usual process.

Every year on the eve of her Grandmothers death she wraps herself in her cape.

Here's Mine.....
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y112/Drawnblud/drawnblud_chow70_red.jpg

Nicknamed "Red Riding Hood" (because of the former Soviet Union flag draped over her head and shoulders), this freedom fighter is leading her "Hoods" against the tyrannical rule of despot Sashenka "The Wolf of Chechnya" Vohlk. Attempting to bring down the rule of this newly appointed "President", she has proven herself to be a thorn in the side of this horrible regime.

Enjoy!

Min convinced me to give this CHOW a try, and he's a very persuasive guy :P so here's my take on the topic:

Red was on her way back to the crib when a couple of The Wolves descended on her. She had to defend her flower chain and mack it back to grandma's. Can't get merked in the street.

To be honest, I get kinda sick of all the annorexic strippers that show up in a topic like this, so I shot for an image we don't see often enough: A young, strong, black woman.

Well this is my first digital painting other than a quick sketch a while back in the DSG. Realistically I'm not going to get it finished but I thought I'd put it up.

Theres some real quality work on this site. So far meatsworthy and naomifuls work are my favourites but everybody has got talent here.

I know its in the early stages but any crits are welcome.

[Aly Fell]

There are some wonderful pieces coming through on this one! Gotta say I love Beastmaster Freds!

I've not really had a chance to do something finished, which is a shame as I love the idea. Here are a few of my doodles. I kept thinking of the James Thurber version of Little Red Riding Hood:

The Little Girl and the Wolf

by James Thurber

One afternoon a big wolf waited in a dark forest for a little girl to come along carrying a basket of food to her grandmother. Finally a little girl did come along and she was carrying a basket of food. "Are you carrying that basket to your grandmother?" asked the wolf. The little girl said yes, she was. So the wolf asked her where her grandmother lived and the little girl told him and he disappeared into the wood.

When the little girl opened the door of her grandmother's house she saw that there was somebody in bed with a nightcap and nightgown on. She had approached no nearer than twenty-five feet from the bed when she saw that it was not her grandmother but the wolf, for even in a nightcap a wolf does not look any more like your grandmother than the Metro-Goldwyn lion looks like Calvin Coolidge. So the little girl took an automatic out of her basket and shot the wolf dead.

(Moral: It is not so easy to fool little girls nowadays as it used to be.)

Until recently Rose McCowl thought she had a pretty sweet gig, driving around picking up ‘occult’ objects for her grandmother’s collection: Hi, Mr. Tin-Foil-Hat-Man, here’s the money, where’s the bric-a-brac? Thank you, Mr. Tin-Foil-Hat-Man, have a nice day! All well and good… but recently a certain Mr. Wolfe has been trailing her, sometimes even beating her to the pick-up. Then there’re all the accidents, other collectors hit by lorries in the street, falling down staircases, even disappearing. Rose can’t shake the feeling that somehow it’s all wrapped up with this Mr. Wolfe.

Whew! Kinda put the rush on this one; I just read the topic around midnight thurs, and couldn't pass up a try, what with all the awesome entries this round. Meatsworthy, yours is my favorite, both in concept and in rendering. The style is excellent, and the take way different from any of the other entries I've seen here.

Here's my final:

Dang. Not only my first ChOW, but my first post here in general. Go me. It's not amazing, but not bad, I think, for hearing about this, uh, Thursday night at 11pm. Just made it, too. Daaaaaang. Haha, I feel so out of place, all I did in Photoshop was add the black borders and lettering... Hur hur hur...

Yeah, she's blue, because she's Pictish-ish. Whoo. Go blue! Not sure how "modern" she ended up being, but I kind of got obsessed with the Pict aspect. Oh well. This was fun, at least.

Concept for the fairytale in an modern set . Replacing the woods with a big city. Like in the fairytale she is more a girl than a woman.

p.s. Also she could be a messenger in a gigantic skyscraper .Carrying the packets from the lobby to the final office .Imaging a Superskyscraper almost like a little town, this could give a nice background for a story.

Hey ya'll,

I'm new to posting on this forum. I've been a lurker for years but never actually posted anything. I guess I'm digitally shy. Anyway, this isn't finished, so I'm not officially going to submit it for "judging" but want to start getting more involved in the community. I hope no one is offended by her PETA t-shirt. Its just apart of her story, some kind of sadistic anti-animal broad, roaming the streets looking for trouble. Happy to be here, feel free tear my work apart.


jess.

[ikuru]

holy mystery smurfs! Loads of good ones here!
propishus had the best one but then Bumskee was on his own godlike manga level thing there so bums wins my vote any day

[sve]

My favorite entry by edujante is not in the poll... is it a mistake? or it was a decision made about it?

[bumskee]

Hey everyone, first of all really awsome round! nice work all around.
:)

I am feeling a tiny bit guilty for not recommending so many entries into the poll, trust me! I would love to have done so but frankly lots of entries were quite not finished and not very well thought out. If your didn't make it to the poll, it's mainly because you've not finished it and left it at WIP, and/or that you've gone way off the brief. If it was way too futuristic or fantasy I didn't recommend it, unless it satisfied the other two requirements rather nicely. :x

So.. please don't feel bummed out if it's not on the poll.. :O

My vote goes to Meatsworthy and endtroid for all round awsome work.

right behind was naomiful, c@c, bluefooted (my initial idea was just that.. oriental chick with wolf shirt! :)), krunner & emily g.

:)

[EDIT]
I am pretty sure I recommened edujante to be included.. it may have been overlooked.. or something.. :(
oh and as for hurri, I talked to him about his entry before letting oblio know, but good to see him on the poll nonetheless.

[Vulgar`]

v - FridayEve

Exceptional entry - the runner-ups were Vahn, Meatsworthy, and Penumbra. This is the first round of any community activity where I've seen the entries extended to the second page.

Keep doing you

[gtgauvin]

Care to elaborate on what was so objectionable about the anatomy in my piece?

[mrgrumble]

:) votes to bumskee and lukavi: both very pleasing and different stylistic takes, both also manage to convey 'sexy' without making it sleazy. great stuff this time all around!

[propishus]

Donde esta Edujante?

[maxetormer]

I voted for entdroid he covered all his bases on the brief,
plus the style is funny and sexy, COOL stuff indeed.

Dam impressive entries this round!!

[Johann de Venecia]

Friday Eve and Meatsworthy stood out to me. Execution for both was superb. Voted for Meat's entry because he seemed to push it more conceptually. It does seem like a modern day 'lil red riding hood. Except I wanted to see more of sexy as stated in the brief.

Lots more fab entries, y'all know who you are. And btw, thanks for the vote and c&c's. Till next time! cHEERs!

[liamjames]

Dammit. I'll have to vote for about a million of you- this round was awesome.
I'm so glad I didn't get time to enter, I'd have been horribly embarrassed.

I think my favourites (for the criteria) were FridayEve, Manuel Calavera, Foofoo and Frostblade... but to get a better answer than that out of me you'll have to put a gun to my head.
Some of the other entries were beautiful too, but the "Red Riding Hood" part often seemed superfluous. I preferred to see people update the fairytale, rather than create a beautifully-drawn modern girl in a red top, then write a story to tie it in with the challenge.

[Penumbra]

Meatsworthy took the gold in my book. There were many beautiful pieces and about 5 that would have tied for 2nd.

[entdroid]

I voted Meatsworthy, cause of a great execution and an original take on the topic, Bluefooted, because, what can I say Erin, I love your style, I'm such a fangirl! :D and Krunner, because I loved the stylization. It was such a hard decision! Lots of great entries all around.

Minmin & Maxetormer (erhm, I'm a girl btw), thanks for the votes and compliments!!! :D

[Antne]

Bumskee-
Bummer, man. Can't say I'm not disappointed I didn't make it. When I read "modern day" I interpreted that as revamp or re-imagine. I see many entries that could have easily been read as no less sci-fi/fantasy nor modern day. Not to mention I was going for a modern day werewolf hunter with a Ninja like quality. I guess that didn't come across in my design.

Having said that I doubt I would have stood a chance against some of the more amazing entries. I think I voted for maybe five different entries because comparing some of them is like compairing apples and oranges. Meatsworthy and Naomiful were probably my favorites but some of the others were pulled off equally well and were completely different in style, mood and theme.

I would love to hear what anybody else has to say about my piece. crits welcome...
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v305/Antne/th_redridinghood6.jpg (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v305/Antne/redridinghood6.jpg)

[madhatter106]

Voted for Meat's entry because he seemed to push it more conceptually. It does seem like a modern day 'lil red riding hood. Except I wanted to see more of sexy as stated in the brief.

Agreed - while I love Meatsworthy's idea and execution, I'm not seeing the "sexy." Of course, the rejoinder to that will be "but sexy is open to interpretation." If that's the case, then the qualification of "sexy" is too much of a gray area; since it's not a yes/no, binary quality, where/what is the line?

Had someone drawn a sexy guy, would that have been eliminated because it's not sexy to the judge(s), if they're heterosexual? I'm just curious..."sexy" is such an intangible, ethereal, personal thing. Do future entries requiring "sexy" cater to those judging and their definition of sexy?

I guess this sort of thing peeves me - working in costumes in Hollywood, we get this sort of thing a lot ...you'll be sitting in a production meeting, and the producer or director or executive will turn to someone in the costume dpeartment, and say, "yeah and she's gotta be really really really SEXY!" Mmmmmmmkay. Depening on who's at the table, you can get seventeen different opinions of what that is and where to go with it...

Please don't read this as sour grapes...my sexy (or not, I suppose) non-modern satanic nun didn't make it to poll, I'm fine with that...she ended up looking a bit too Glenn Close in my book. (Crying, "Big Chill" Glenn Close and not "Fatal Attraction" Glenn Close!) I could debate the validity of moderness of a Church of Satan style satanic nun, but defer to the judges on that point...but I'm sure someone with a nun fetish would certainly find her sexy...see here (http://community.livejournal.com/nun_fetish/profile) and here (http://www.amazon.com/Anticristo-Steven-Fentone/dp/1903254027/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/103-0313794-5837472?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1178600035&sr=8-1)....

Love all the entries...just wish some of them were sexier (to me) LOL ;) Great topic and great round, one and all :) Can't wait to see what this week's topic will be...

[Pluizje]

I wanted to vote for edujante but i can't find it on the poll??

[dragon4lunch]

bluefooted's entry is my favourite, absolutely! Great job, lizard woman (yes, I looked at your profile)! The Arthur Rackham influence is obvious! He'd be happy to see a skilled artist like you emulate his style 100 years later!
bumskee: She looks like she's straight out of an animated movie from the 80s... Sort of between Anime and Disney. Good stuff!
entdroid: That's just working very well. I can see that in a magazine!
hurricane: Wish you had finished it.
Vorace: My second favourite! She's so cute! Great job!

[edujante]

Oh god, im not on the poll!!!!!but im in the list on page 1!!!what happen?
Oh lord, maybe im in the antipoll!!is that a kind of complot?just a mistake?jaja
I need an explanation, could be?
Thanks!
I ve done a multipoll but my prefer is Propishus!
cheers!

[navarrot]

Holy sh.t!

What happens with Edujante? He is in the list but he isn't in the poll??? He'll lost lots of votes these days if he continues dissapeared of the poll.

[Vahn]

wow thx i got in..was still very sketchy :S

I wanted to vote for edujante too :(

so my votes went to entdroid & meatsworthy, closely followed by bumskee, firdayeve, cakeypigdog, lukavi & tommoy.

There were a bit too many fantasy entries with wolves for my tastes..they dont really fit bumskees assignment i think. The only wolf i really liked was edujantes :D

[nuru]

I really dont wanna moan and bitch about this - it's ridiculous and futile, however, I can't leave it without saying anything - you obviously dont object to simplistic, cartoony styles, but I think that the fact that you dismissed my entry as having bad anatomy, and a bad face is bias and unfair.

http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h231/littleboots_2006/redfinishedfinalsmall.jpg
(I deleted it off the list)
I guess thats just my opinion

[naomiful]

I think I learned a bit for technique heheh - although next time I won't engage in just a pretty picture (although I didn't think so of the image at first, haha). :^^:

[David-david]

Hi, dear Oblio and Bumskee!
I think there has been an administration error, I can't see Edujante in the votings, and he seems to be in the list, I understand there can be a mistake

Thank you

[Greenjack]

Sorry to see that I missed the poll. In my mind it was finished, and posted as such. I know I put a lot more detail into the face than some of the other areas, but I don't consider this as leaving it unfinished. Not bitching, but would like to know if I failed because of quality, in which case I can tighten things up next time, or because it was believed that I hadn't finished, despite comments to the contrary.

Great competition this week, some fabulous entries.

[Mydrim]

Hey I can't see the last picture! I voted for it because I've seen it before voting thread tho..

And yeah, I think there's lot of images in this voting thread even without posting the wips.. Well it's just my view

[Mydrim]

And nor I see the nuru disqualification fair..

[Tom Garden]

nuru, it seems to me like your piece looks like you have gone for a realistic style, rather than a comic style - so i think in those terms it may have not met the standard in a "real" style turn.

Anyways - these things shouldnt be about the voting, more about getting your work shown and getting more work done! :) I know thats how it is for me. From the moment meats posted that pic - the votes were pretty much won! :P

[nuru]

Mydrim, thanks for the support- Bumskee explained things to me, and now I understand better why it wasn't accepted for the poll :) it is hardly a modern day red riding hood is it, and she is pretty...off
cheers anyway :)

Tom Garden - You're completely right :)

[vigostar]

my vote stands with edujuante

[Tom Garden]

cheers nuru - well - i had one rejected aaages ago, and i took it up with oblio lol - and i was pretty annoyed, but didnt really take into account that it wasnt about the vote really, btu more that i had to do better at the artwork for myself more than anything else!!

Now you should be ready to attack TBA!! :P whatever the hell the topic will be haha

[idoru]

Hmm... I'm a little sad I didn't make the cut, but at least I didn't make it for reasons I understand and agree with.

Edujante FTW!

[bluefooted]

Oh, man! This is going to be a tough choice. Especially since Bumskee gave us such tight criteria with which to judge. So what's sexy and modern and Red Riding Hood.

Vahn: I disagree with you about the fantasy aspect. There's nothing in the prompt that excludes modern fantasy ala Charles deLint, etc, and the story of Little Red Riding Hood is certainly fantasy. Anyway, just a thought.

nuru: Good attitude! I actually really like your entry - I'd tend to think you were going more for a stylized pic rather than realism, based on that wolf.

Here's who I voted for:

c@s, for sure - the posing is great, as are the details on her jeans and hoodie.
lukavi - love the hips! And her beautiful doll face.
Naomiful - beautiful sketch and concept!
Propishus - Such great style! Love the storybook look to your entries - they're really fun - and her attitude.
cakeypigdog - Great, as usual ;)
Endtroid - Love the style, I think this is one of my favorites of yours!
Bumskee - She was right on the edge of the 'sexy'/ 'cute' border for me (which is tough anyway, because what the hell is sexy, anyway?), but I love the lines and draping so much as well as the graphic style, so I had to vote for it.
Meatsworthy - Another that wasn't exactly 'sexy', but it was such a nicely done entry that I had to include it.

dragon4lunch: Thanks! Very appreciated. Glad you checked my profile ;)

[Skrunchey]

so I picked 3, for my top picks... and this is why!

Meatsworthy~ because it *screams* originality, nothing more modern then search and rescue, uniforms on strong women are sexy, and overall AWESOME concept.

Oregano~ first impression was a modern day 'young adult' not too sure about sexy, but she is definately appealing... even though it is sketchy, it has a finished feel to it... I would hang this on my wall!

Tiegrob~ because it has the finished "concept" art feel to it... and i really like the idea behind it... the description was very good and the quality of work is consistently pleasing to look at.

It is a specification that the "FINALS" have a border with info, and so I didn't vote for any without the border (because it was a specification for the final), the majority didn't really seem modern to me, even though the quality was over all pretty good, with a few exceptions.

Good luck everyone!!

[nuru]

Tom garden - yup you're right, I got too emotional this morning, I think at some stage or other, it's easy to become emotional about artwork, because it's so visible, and so subjective(and scary!) however in this case Bumskee was right :)

My vote went to Bluefooted, because the colors, mood and textures were so rich. Thanks for the comment btw, my BA was in fashion, so I think I often fall back on some stylized bad habits I picked up in fashion illustration - no excuses though, I really need to badly work on my anatomy!
cheers guys :)

[Meatsworthy]

I limited myself to 3 votes, it was really tough deciding. My favourite is Form's, just on the strong composition and other-worldy aspect... I hope you go on to develop this one further. Bluefooted's piece is also lovely (and the sexiest), such a great amount of care put into it. Voted for Emily too, I'm quite envious at how realistic it reads.

Thanks for the interesting discussion on "sexy"... it's so frequently at the top of any brief for a female character/illustration. The search and rescue theme came from red's fairytale innocence, I wasn't confident enough to push sexy at the same time. That, and my figure drawing would hamper any such effort (teach me bumskee! :P).

[tensai]

Hi, dear Oblio and Bumskee!
I think there has been an administration error, I can't see Edujante in the votings, and he seems to be in the list, I understand there can be a mistake
of course, managing so many files week after week, but he made a real good

WORD! for me this was actually the very clear winner of this CHOW - with a cool concept and a great painting of it to boot. any way of adding the dood still to the voting list?

[Oblio]

SOOO SOOOORRRY
i actually passed out while doing the poll - i still havent got my sleep - i jumped half of the earth from Romania to SF - and still need to stay awake so i can adjust.
At this time my fried brain could only reset the whole thing - if any other mistake is present - please let me know.
gotta run,

Oblio

[David-david]

C.A... A good place to be!

Thanks Oblio!

[Beastmaster Fred]

My personal favorite by far is Edujante&#180;s piece since I just love that style and love that character but I thought Entdroid&#180;s also stood out from the rest of our pieces so I voted for these two.
That being said there were a lot of entries I liked a lot and I&#180;m impressed by a shitload of the entries in one way or another.

[edujante]

hey oblio dont worry about it, in fact im worried cause since i m in the poll, people missed lot of votes, are you reset the poll?
Anyway, it doesnt mind i werent in the poll, no problem, votes are not important and i was very happy that some people like my piece!i still atonished!thanks to david david, navarrot, tensai, beastmaster, sve, vigotar,etc...for your ethereal vote!!
Now...the valkiria is waiting to me!!!lets rock!

[Beastmaster Fred]

Edujante> Don´t worry about us losing votes because of your entry into the poll. The only right thing to do is what seems has happened, all of the votes going back to 0 and the voting starting over. You should get the fair chance all of us got (especially since you got such a kick ass piece that has the chance to take home the victory if given the shot). I do think some people could get confused over this though and the people who has already cast their vote might not be voting again.
Plus a strange thing, when a piece gets a vote now if you look in the list over who has voted for it all of the original voters shows up but those who still stand at 0 in the new voting don´t get a list over who voted for them before (just a bit weird).

[masque]

good point, Fred, i was wondering what the case was. and there may be some who won't check to see what's up if they've already voted, and may not re-vote. can Oblio add one vote to all submissions, so the list can show up again for everyone who had previous votes? i don't think it'd make a diff in the final poll totals, and it's a way to insure that the original votes get preserved (if not actually counted).

[sve]

poll shows interesting errors in how many votes were done for each entry... for example when it was voted three it shows just one vote for masque...

[Beastmaster Fred]

The confusion starts.

[Oblio]

I KNOW I SCREWED UP.
Thank goodness there is wireless in hotels these days :)

PLEASE VOTE AGAIN!
I hope now it works!

[masque]

Oblio, many thanks for taking the time to re-do the poll, it's gotta be a pain dealing with time changes and work stress as well as this.

unfortunately, i don't see meatsworthy's pic among the main image posts -- am i missing something? he's in the poll with a thumbnail, but i can't see it in the thread.

not a complaint, just an observation.

[emily g]

You're right masque, Meatsworthy's post was missing.
I copied it over.

[cubesoflard]

Meatsworth gots my vote. Nice work on the poses and the brush strokes. Nicely planned and and executed.

[cosmicbeanbag]

my vote went to naomiful, just a great drawing/painting and the textures are great. really dig the hood design.

adi-very cool, the SS uniform is a little creepy though, but i like the fact that the hood is green with bits of red, and the piece is very nicely painted.

tom garden-great entry, you've really been progressing as an artist and it's nice to see your commitment paying off. keep on.

meatsworthy-great painting man

fridayeve-very, very nice form, lighting, values, and textures. a great painting but not much concepting happening here.

edujante-i'd buy this if it were a poster. would make a great promotional piece. send me a postcard and i'll put it on my corkboard!

antne-really love the sketches/thumbs.

entroid-cool as beetle under a mushroom, but smoking? bad, bad, bad...;)

flipmcgee-awesome illo!

great work all.

sayot!

k

[Oblio]

back in romania.
Meatsworthy - CONGRATULATIONS. please let me know the next topic.

[joe12south]

Good job everybody. Next topic? ;-)

[Meatsworthy]

ooh! thanks to everyone... such a variety of great entries :)

I'm gonna PM oblio that next topic right now!
