CGAN Zodiac Challenge - Virgo - WIPs was created by Charlotte
Virgo (August 23 - September 22)
The zodiac challenge will aim to run for the entire zodiac year and work with the timescale of each zodiac sign. This is a 'just for fun' challenge, but you will have a lovely set of horoscope images if you choose to take part. Kazky will be the main moderator for these challenges so contact her if you have questions or issues.
We will be sticking to the western zodiac, apologies to other zodiacs
Research each sign and depict it however you interpret it.
Deadline: September 20th (note 20th, not 22nd)
Finals submission thread: cgartnexus.com/index.php/forums/current-...allenge-virgo-finals
Rules in brief:
All challenge entries must be your own work.
You should post at least two WIP images that are clearly different from your final entry and each other.
Your final entry should contain your image (inserted so it shows up full size) and at least two links to your WIP posts on the forum.
No chatter in the finals thread – if you have questions, post them in the WIP thread or PM an admin.
Feedback is allowed & encouraged together with the voting and in the WIP thread.
Deadline is given in UK time (midnight GMT) with a grace period of 5 minutes for getting the post sorted.
Each member may cast one vote.
No cheating! Admins may decide to disqualify an entry that does not adhere to the above rules.

omg... too much of agitation here in the morning - thanks to Robin. ..... 
No just kidding 
Hurray a Virgo-thread - i was already waiting for this.
As for LEO I go with some kind of the original story behind the zodiac.
The virgo is no one less than the daughter of Demeter, the goddess of the harvest, and Zeus. Hades abducted her, took her to his Underworld and made her his wife.
Zeus decided she has to live half a year with her mother and the other half in the Underworld with Hades. So I show a scene where the virgo, Persephone, spends her time in the Underworld, having the the gift of fertility to change the underworld a bit for her own pleasure.

Robin did you have a red bull with coffee grounds for breakfast That's a lot of awesomeness happening up in here, I don't know if I should be intimidated or inspired, but she has a great flow to her so far, and that butt, it's going to be something I can tell already 
Cherry the serenity is coming through in yours, like the composition you have so far, interesting what is that a guiser coming up from the ground, she could have a shower the opposite way, looks good so far

Hellooo back to you!
That's looking very nice there, Cherry. The colour combination is creating a lovely mood. Looking forward to this.
Robin: We're all patiently waiting for the next stage of awesomeness!

Sorry, but if you're looking for mediocre I'm gonna have to fight you for it. There just isn't enough to go round. And all that mediocrity is mine. Mine!
Yes, it's a very fine line between meagre and mega, especially if you're a bit deaf.
And who needs extraordinary? I'm already ordinary, why would I want any extra ordinary? I have more than enough ordinary, thank you very much.
And with that in mind, here are some scribbles...
I did take it a bit further but didn't like it so I'll backtrack to this last wip and try again.
Sadly there's no deep story or meaning or symbolism yet. I'm just trying for one of those vacant pretty faces and let's see what happens. Hopefully it won't look the same as the faces in my previous pictures. But it probably will.
