CHOW (Character of the Week, on ConceptArt.org) #161 - The City. The challenge was to personify a city.
I had trouble choosing, I settled on 3 - Havana, Cuba; Austin, Texas; and St. Petersburg, Russia. In the end, I have the deepest affinity for Austin, having lived there for a while (I want to move back SO BADLY), so I went with her. She is kind of the chick everyone wants to date or be in college, she's impossibly cool, she's the live music capital of the world, she loves nature and her Longhorns, she's a biking city (I mean, Lance trains there!) <3 Austin
Sketches for Havana and St. Petersburg are here: [link] Process is here: [link]

Don't be scared, falling's just like flying except there's a more permanent destination.

things never get easier, its a savage world. But you have to get through it somehow.
