Some of us are game in participating in CHoW for this week, so I'm taking from pnate's CHoW write up and welcoming CHoW #11!
It won't be a biweekly thing like Nate was doing - just whenever y'all are game! So here goes!:
Welcome to the Crimson CHOW (Character of the Week)! This is a challenge which was created as a way to hone your skills in design and character creation, in a fun and competitive way. Each challenge, we will give you a short character prompt and it is your task to interpret the character as you imagine it, with your own unique spin. The winner will be chosen through a poll in the finals thread, and in addition to being able to pick the next challenge topic, his/her piece will be featured in the "Crimson Champions" Winner's thread!
Here is the passage:
""Don't screw with me." the driver smiled as he whispered to the bloody, wounded figure in the back seat of his Viper SRT. "I won't be getting you anywhere if you don't follow my rules." he said as he gripped the steering wheel, patiently awaiting the signal.
Your task: Design "The Getaway Driver" - male/female/humanoid, your choice.
Guidelines:
Photo textures, 3D, and traditional mediums are allowed.
There is no restriction on the character's gender, time period or culture.
Studies are recommended, but not required.
There is no restriction on image formats (horizontal, vertical, square).
Environment backgrounds are optional.
Keep in mind you are not required to stick to what is in the passage. It is more of a guide in terms of mood.
Rules:
You must post at least one WIP in the WIP thread to be accepted into the final poll.
Finals must be posted in the finals thread before the deadline.
At least 3/4 of the character must be visible (minimum from the knees up). No back views are allowed without a front.
Only ONE character please.
Only ONE submission per person in the finals thread.
Sketches, WIPs, or rushed artwork will not be accepted into the poll.
No fanart. We want to see your original, unique interpretations!
Have fun!
Deadline is Sunday, July 19 @10pm GMT

Looks good smrr! Looking forward to seeing your thumbnails!
I like this idea and I want it in my portfolio, so I'm going full ambitious-mode with this thing. It's late at night so I can't start doing studies but I have an idea and I'm going with it. Now I'm streaching the prompt so his/her carriage is named "viper" and instead of "steering wheel" I'm going for reins. Other than that, I should be on point. My idea is that this is a getaway driver during the Victorian period.
Here's my sketch for the general idea and composition. I really like concept art where it's more than a static character so I'm going to try and make this an exiting image as well as a good design. I'll get on to some studies tomorrow.
Aww shiiet Jakkkkkkkk, even though we live on other parts of the globe, we seem to be influenced by similar things hnnnnnnnnnnnnng. (also I lol'd at your write up)

I think I put my ideas down for now. I'm gonna start from there. I'll probably stick with this maybe change little bit here and there but that is it. And I won't make any background :|
I liked what you guys are doing. Tristan had an amazing ideia about the Victorian period. Let's see this rendered smrr :)
Cool skethces Cricketts!
