[Havok Reed]

[AdrianNagorski]

A great round! I learned tons which is most important,
my idea is that she bathes in molten lava where she's most at home,
i tried to push beauty because she's a goddess.

[Mouzzi]

Happy to share this one with you! x3

[PIXL]

Well, here it goes

[FlyingPenguin]

I didn't have much time, but I had a pretty clear idea in my head and I wanted to try a different style.

[Dayle]

My final; the villagers are performing a ritual fire dance to appease the goddess pele and prevent an erruption.

[cumquat]

My final. I always thought that it sucked that Pele couldn't leave her volcano. She was probably bored and lonely. You can hardly blame a girl for the occasional eruption.

Lookin' good everybody!

[Capt Surge]

Rushed didn't wanna miss the deadline like last time, need to study more sigh...

[MissMeowsikins]

[Jokisalo]

Love the concepts you guys have made!

[SeverdHead]

[Philipopotamus]

Here's my final. My thought behind it was to see her as child, as a volcano still under the ocean before becoming one of the Hawaiian islands.
She wears a sperm whale tooth necklace (lei niho palaoa) which meant power among Hawaiian people.

Heres my entry this chow, didn't have as much time as would have liked due to work. Really enjoyed the subject and loved working on the lava. Got rid of the flower hand as it was not working compositionally.

Care to clarify the issue? If it is an issue anyway.

[Pixeltuner]

looks like a case of trolololololollololo, and a very sad one at that.

[fairstranger]

It's always so inspiring looking at the chow finals. You guys make me want to art better.

[mes]

you don't have to go around calling people trolls, that in itself makes you a troll

and a very pathetic one

I'm just confused as to what we're supposed to be voting on, artistic skill or just the most creative/bizarre design?
