    Chow 184 :: VOTING :: The Surveyor

    FINALS ONLY
    -=ROUND 184=-
    -= The Surveyor =-

    -------------

    NOT SURE ABOUT THE GUIDELINES? CLICK HERE!
    -------------------

    ROUND #184:: The Surveyor

    DESCRIPTION

    The Surveyor

    The Surveyor is a being of unknown origin an age. It appears, at least here on this planet, to resemble a woman of around 30, though eyewitness accounts vary.

    The first account of her is marked as her appearance in times square, but theories abound that she actually started her survey well before this, simply in a less-obtrusive manner.

    Different populations have regarded her from everything as an alien to an angel. The reality seems to be more complex. She seems to be a representative of a multi-dimensional population. She appears at random all over the planet, and speaks to representatives of the human population about everything from the mundane ("What kind of spices do you put in your soup?") to the highly theoretical.

    At first it was assumed that there were thousands of surveyors, since near-simultanous conversations were reported all across the globe, but once a compiled list of known conversations had been made, it was apparent that two never occured at the same time - there was always a .0005 second delay between one sighting and the next.

    Conventional weapons were found useless on the surveyor and once the reigning govermental bodies declared her to be benign, she was granted almost complete access to any knowledge on Earth. She could, after all, appear anywhere at any time - including in the middle of a hidden nuclear facility. Withholding information was deemed useless.

    No one knows why she is here. When asked, she simply says 'for the survey', hence the formal title that has been given her.

    They expect her to interview every living being on the planet capable of speech before she disappears.

    So far 14.7 million interviews have been reported.

    When will she speak with you?
    ------------

    ACCEPTANCE TO POLL WILL BE BASED ON THREE CRITERIA:
    1: DID THE ARTIST FOLLOW THE BRIEF? (allowance for creative takes will be made).
    2: IS THE PIECE ARTISTICALLY SOUND? (Is the illustration "finished?" - did the artist pay attention to anatomy, perspective, other fundamentals?).
    3: IS THIS ILLUSTRATION THE BEST ONE?

    --------------------

    SUBMITTING YOUR ENTRY:
    1: You must submit ONE full sized image.
    2: Make sure your name and CHOW # are EASILY READABLE on your entry.
    3: Use the Standard format (Below);


    PLACE THE IMAGE IN A FRAME WITH YOUR NAME/TOPIC
    SAVE YOUR FILE IN THE FOLLOWING FORMAT:

    Chow##_Nickname
    example: "CHOW#100_Oregano.jpg"

    THE REST IS EASY:
    1: No comments before poll is set. They WILL be deleted with utmost malice and petty grumbling.
    2: Sit back and enjoy the show. BYOPC (Bring your own popcorn)
    3: Good luck to all.


    Please review these helpful reminders if you have not done so already.

    ON GETTING TO POLL
    -------------------------
    NEW ROUND RULE: WIPS PLEASE!
    -------------------------
    SUBMISSION FORMAT REMINDER



    PLEASE REMEMBER TO WRITE YOUR COPYRIGHT INFORMATION UNDER THE IMAGE IN THE FINAL BURNING THREAD SO I DON'T HAVE TO HUNT YOU DOWN LATER!

    ---

    Quick Check: Have You Submitted Your Chow Properly?

    - is it named correctly? (ie, "CHOW#100_Oregano.jpg")
    - has it been uploaded using the attachment editor?
    - have you also uploaded or linked to your wips?
    - have you followed the brief?

    Good luck!

    My take on the surveyor is in her natural state she is formless, but she knows humans only respond to other humanoids. So she tries to immolate a visually appealing, non threatening human. She hasn't really got the grasp of faces or the correct scale of human height, but she's trying.

    My first CHOW. I'm so thrilled.

    My idea was that she was created from the patterns she collects and analyzes.

    I couldn't put as much time in on this one as the previous one (hence the few changes I made and the utter lack of a background) but I like the look of it and what I learned in making it. Good luck to everyone in the polls and I'll see you again for CHOW 185.

    Some nice pieces this round. So many interesting interpretations on the topic. I noticed a lot of people going for "white" clothing in some way or other. When I first read the topic, I too got a "white clothing" feel about her. -chuckles- I wonder what triggered that thought? As you can see, I went off on a different track. Below are... my wips, the final and the two headshots of both "chars" in the pic. Thanks all!

    This is my first CHOW, it was fun! (actually I entered last time but submitted it wrong, hopefully no mistakes this time) Hopefully I can get in the habit of doing it every week.

    Chow #184 - Surveyor

    Thanks to Daestwen for the great topic

    As for my version, i imagined the Surveyor as a device from far future or a parallel universe that goes back in time to make a complete catalogue of a past human world and every human in it at a time prior from achieving singularity, as data to create a copy of the world because the future human civilization with singularity was bound to destruction
    It appears in human form to conduct conversation/contact to collect data, everything from DNA, shape/figure, life history, traits all recorded instantly.
    hence, the Surveyor.

    Cheers CA
