Chow #013 VOTING: LORD FREDRICKSON

**S.C. Watson** · January 23rd, 2006, 11:47 PM

Lord George Henry Fredrickson

Historical Fiction*
Lord George Henry Fredrickson. Mid to late 1800's. Lord Fredrickson is a Lich hunter & Master of the Occult of some quiet acclaim in certain discerning circles. By nature he is a reserved man, brutally intelligent, quick in thought and often in action, but never reckless.

Cursed more than a century ago by an Egyptian Lich, Lord Fredrickson walks the twilight between the true light of life and the enternal darkness of death. He can not die, though he can not really live either.

With each Lich Lord Fredrickson dispatches, he desperately searchers for a counter curse to his affliction, but none have been found, much to his continued frustration. Over the past few decades, his searches have turned more desperate, as madness is slowly claiming him. In his more lucid moments, he fears for those he cares for, but holds little hope of chaging his fortunes. Isabelle, his wife, has been instructed in the art of horcrux destruction, and how to kill a Lich, but as Lord Fredrickson has no known horcrux, it is feared that all efforts will be futile.

Okay, great job everyone! Multiple votes are allowed this round (just because

)

Cheers,
~Oreg.

Wow, my browser sure didn't want to load my pic... Took 2 refreshes... Maybe I need a new host.

Anyway... Pan and orcatraz got my votes. Didn't wanna go nuts on nominations and thought those 2 were exceptionally executed and best represent the character.

I'm not sure how well this poll's working though as it currently says pan and orcatraz both have 100% of the votes. Maybe this will change with more nominations?

**Skank** · January 24th, 2006, 12:10 AM

i voted for hurricane.
there were ALOT of good entries...but huri's looks like he could kick EVERYone elses asses...at the same time. and if a motherfucker is hunting litches..and is cursed...he damn well better be a tough sum'bitch.

**Define.** · January 24th, 2006, 12:21 AM

I voted for Orcatraz and Helzon. Orcatraz, because the detail is amazing for a black and white picture. Job VERY WELL DONE, love the mood. Helzon's piece was totally different from everyone else's, and caught my eye when I saw it. I like it, I like it a lot!

yay for polls.

**redehlert** · January 24th, 2006, 12:28 AM

um, shane....where's my entry, bro?

**redehlert** · January 24th, 2006, 12:47 AM

cool...multiple vote option.
went with orcatraz and pan - felt the environment and the characters imprisonment within it.
some superb entries all across the board.

**romance** · January 24th, 2006, 12:52 AM

I went with Pan, Orcatraz, and Mainloop.

Redehlert and Hurricane were Honourable mentions. Even though Red's didn't get into the poll - at the moment - hopefully that gets fixed soon

Um... good question...

PM me your image link and I'll drop it in.

**darth massacre** · January 24th, 2006, 01:10 AM

Yeah what happened to Red's piece? Oreg?

I went nuts with this one simply because we can pick so many

Here are the great eight:

Pan, Orcatraz, Mainloop, Masque, Pixelherder, hurricane, Angry Pirate and Corrick.

I have no idea why but Corrick's piece really appealed to me. But I thought it needs to be busier in the background coz he seem like he's at an egyptian marketplace.

**redehlert** · January 24th, 2006, 01:17 AM

sent ya a pm, shane. thanks for the square up.

**JakkaS** · January 24th, 2006, 01:47 AM

I voted for orcatraz, morbidhumor, romance, Pan. But orcatraz entry is the best for me! Really beautiful.

**S.C. Watson** · January 24th, 2006, 02:08 AM

Beats me. I didn't see it for some reason when I collected everyone's...

He's in now, tho

**iomoon** · January 24th, 2006, 02:15 AM

Damn. Should have read about the multiple votes *before* voting. Nevermind. Hurricane gets my vote (for previously stated reasons). If I was allowed to go back and vote again I'd also put ticks next to Dominus (fabulous furtrimmed coat and face tatts), Orcatraz (all round slick entry with a sensational background) and Pan (just love those tones and style). Hell - there'd be a few more too no doubt. Really strong competition this one. Well done all.

**hurricane** · January 24th, 2006, 02:28 AM

redehlert, pixelherder, mainloop, ericdee got my votes

Mutley, pan, young paddy1, morbidhumor, walnut (damnit you should of gotten a vote from me!!! f*ck! stupid me) orcatraz great entries !!!!!!!!!

the rest of you : you rock!

this round was really great, what a turn out !! wow
cheers and thanks for the votes so far!!

**cakeypigdog** · January 24th, 2006, 03:42 AM

i went for
hurricane, pixelherder, angry pirate, pan, orcatraz, main loop and mutley.

great set of entries this time!

if i had to pick just one it would have been Pan. lovely style.
orcatraz is a close second: love the silohetting on the feet.

hurricans is nice: great rendering as usual + a very distinctive character.

main loops i love but the painting could do with a little more confidence in places ( i am a fine one to talk eh?) top enty though!

mutley: i just love your piece as a whole: great composition, lovely linework and lots of drama. top stuff!

**JakkaS** · January 24th, 2006, 04:00 AM

Hmmmm, I want one more vote ...for redehlert! Oregano, if its possible add my vote for redehlert. Red yours last CHOW and COW are really good!! BTW color in COW its even better then B%W..this time.

Cheers!

**walnut** · January 24th, 2006, 05:59 AM

So my votes went like this: orcatraz for fantastic oppressive atmosphere, main loop and hurricane for near flawless execution, and redehlert for the spin he gave the character. Some damn fine work this round, but those are my faves.

**Helzon** · January 24th, 2006, 09:12 AM

Unabashedly I was a vote . There were just too many wonderfully rendered and well thought out pieces. Take a look at the poll results you'll know who I voted for. But suffice it to say what a hell of a round from everyone! And I can only imagine the jaw dropping images that are gonna show up for the next round.
My hat's off to each and every one of you.
Define: Thank you so much for the vote, I am humbled and grateful.
Best to you all!

Added it numerically, tho it doesn't show your name.

**quickreaver** · January 24th, 2006, 10:46 AM

I was a complete vote too. There were so many amazing entries, it was liberating to be able to support them all!

I voted for:
~bluefooted...the tarot connection was genius.
~Corrick, for a wonderful concept.
~hurricane, because of the Brom-y, Victorian steam punk vibe! And I love bald men.
~mainloop...he caught the portrait style of the period beautifully
~morbidhumor, succint and precise and eerie
~orcatraz...spot on. You can just taste his antiquity.
~pan, for his hot Egyptian sun and wicked, baleful stare.

Okay, now that I'm sure I've offered too much information, I have to say this was a great first experience here, and I'm mightily impressed with everyone! Cheers!

**Miran** · January 24th, 2006, 02:37 PM

Hellzone, Hurricane, Pixelherder... 'nough said.

**redehlert** · January 24th, 2006, 02:40 PM

pld:
wow. i mean that. wow. thank you for the votes and God bless the multiple voting option.

cheers!

**bluefooted** · January 24th, 2006, 02:54 PM

I love the multiple voting option because I can just go really quick through the line-up and pick out every little thing that catches my eye

I ended up voting for dream_sear, orcatraz, angry pirate, romance, pan, and red. Something about each of these just stood out from the rest. Congrats all, great round!

**bliss** · January 24th, 2006, 03:09 PM

Mutley, Redehlert, Ericdee-those were my favourites

**JeffZNY** · January 24th, 2006, 05:29 PM

Alright alright, I conceed the multiple vote system was a must this week...just too many amazing entries. I would still urge ppl to use their votes wisely...the system breaks down when ppl start spreading votes around to everyone. I'm going with Loop and Orcatraz, but everyone deserves a special gold star this week!

**Jason C-M** · January 24th, 2006, 06:16 PM

Pfew! Thank goodness for multiple votes. I was worried until I read that. I gave mine to Orcatraz and Pixelherder. There were lots of great pieces, but those were the two that really said, "if I were making a movie/game, this would be what I'd want at my side."
