Gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous!! What more can I say. :-)
I have not been able to get this image out of my head. Very compelling.
. . . and I have to say, I am REALLY impressed with the quality and artistry of the work turned into this contest. It is really cool to be a part of such a creative group of people.
With that said, here is my 2nd entry:
Title: Fifty feet to Freedom
Stonemason: Mech Enforcer 2012
Software: D|S 4.5, Hexagon 2.5, PS CS2
Other Items: Nerd 3d's Pipe & Tunnel Set, Cyber M4, Daz' Parkside Tube Station, Tori for V5, Georgina Hair, Dark Moods pants & boots by Ravenhair, Daz' Town & Country shirt, Tankini, Dystopia P94D Cleaver.
1st work with volumetric lights, and dear lord, what an addition to the render times that makes. This was a 93 hr render. I was beginning to wonder if D|S was every going to give me my computer back.
edit: added sig
Very cool. And 93hrs?!? Whoa.

Super work, Dan...very believable, and your rays are so cool to suit this futuristic scene.
Csampson...aha, love this oriental theme...wouldn't want to meet one of those guys in a hurry ;)
Jay
Many thanks. Many many layers. Thank god for PS screen mode,etc.
And my subtitle for this would be "Two will arrive, but only one may survive"
Very nice image, csampson. Love me some Kurosawa.
Thank you very much. Here's a frame snap of Yojimbo, this "long shot" became centerpiece of many Spaghetti Westerns, too. Stonemason set is perfect for this.
I must say again, Isikol,....you dwarf me in skills, insight, and creativity. I so appreciate having the bar raised this high.
I can hope my pieces achieve this level in the near future.
Thx ma am, if I can figure out how to post pics , at least i remember there used to be posting of pics i`ll put a few up...
Just start a "Stonemason appreciation render thread"; it's sure to go down well and be busy.
At last my first entry is nearly rendered...
Talk about cutting it fine, the second one will take a while to get ready, should be up on the last available day if things go well.
Totally different approach than my first effort, here's my second entry -
Title: Sanctuary
Software Used: DAZ Studio and Photoshop
Stonemason products used:
Worlds Of Fantasy : Island Castle http://www.daz3d.com/worlds-of-fantasy-island-castle
Worlds Of Fantasy : Medieval House http://www.daz3d.com/worlds-of-fantasy-medieval-house
Winter Kingdom: Castle Ruins http://www.daz3d.com/winter-kingdom-castle-ruins
The Tower Remains http://www.daz3d.com/the-tower-remains
the full-sized image is 6000x2553, which I'll post after competition is over.
Cheers, and good luck to all
"...they say that if a rider makes it as far as the tower remains, sanctuary is assured..."
My first entry: title "Rescued At Last". Stonemason products used were; City Ruins Building 1, City Ruins Building 3.
I also used Michael 4, Xurge3D HAAS armour with my custom texture, Millennium Kids Young teens boy, Kids 4 girl, The Kurtis Outfit for Young Teens with my textures on it and bits of two Kids 4 outfits with my textures on. Also made the delicatessen sign in Blender and textured that, plus the graffiti on the roll-up door.. Figures posed in Poser and all rendered with Blender, in two files, then assembled in PhotoShop Elements. Rendering seemed to take an age...
My Second entry -
Title- Salvation 3.1
Software used- Poser Pro 2012, Photoshop CS6
Stonemason product- Urban Future 4 :Street Level
A little twist on the damsel in distress...
First Entry
Title: The Eighth Wonder of the World
Render: Poser Pro 2012
Post Work: Paint Shop Pro X5 Ultimate, HitFilm Ultimate
Stonemason Products: The Enchanted Forest, Jungle Ruins 2, City Ruins Building 02, Urban Living
When I first got Enchanted Forest and City Ruins 2 my immediate inspiration was to do some Kong renders. Some how that project kept getting shoved to the back burner. So finally this contest gave me a chance to do the Kong renders I have had in my head for so long.
Love the atmosphere, especially in the jungle one. He's one big gorilla in the mist. :)
Nice to see that happen at last, both of those images in that composition are well put together; I like the one in the forest best myself, there's something very convincing about it even though the gorilla is insanely large as Kong should be.
Interesting thing is that my own second entry is an image that I thought of years ago and never got around to making, but here I am working at it just for this contest. Should be ready for Friday morning if I'm lucky...
I was staring at this earlier trying to think of what this reminded me of, this interesting style, and I think it's something that triggers for me memories of the fantasy movies of the '80s. I think of Neverending Story with those oracle statues, and a little bit The Last Unicorn or Flight of Dragons... still not entirely sure why, but it definitely has for me a sort of nostalgic air to it that I really like.
Reminiscent of a water-colour painting more than anything. Very strong colour scheme.
Hi all.
I only found time for one entry, but wanted an excuse to play with the Stonemasons Modular Ruins. Work always interferes it seems :)
I'm realy enjoying everyones entries.
First entry.

Daz Studio for posing and export.
XFrog Basic
Vue Infinite 11 for rendering, other maps and default content for ecosystem visible in the background.

Here's my entry - I thought Stonemason's Tribal Village Huts would look good with my 'living voodoo doll' girl :)
Title: "Voodoo Child"
Software: Daz Studio Pro 4.5 - Postwork in Photoshop
Stonemason products used: Tribal Village Huts.
First Entry.
Image Title: Fantasy Forge
Software Used: Daz Studio and Photoshop.
Stonemason Products Used: Lava Planet and Floater Bot
At Fantasy Industries, we're blurring the lines between reality and whatever you can imagine. This image was inspired by Stonemason's Lava Planet and Movies like Total Recall (1990 and 2012), Westworld (1973) and Futureworld (1976). Anyway, the idea that something might not really be what it appears to be is a fun thing to play with in imagery.
Hey, what great fun this contest is. I've really enjoyed seeing so many great entries and have gotten a real kick out of how each artist uses these amazing Sets and Props in a unique way. I'll bet Stonemason likes what he sees too. Good work and good luck to all!
Thx ma am, if I can figure out how to post pics , at least i remember there used to be posting of pics i`ll put a few up...
