My second. I was inspired by a friend telling me that when someone's about to do something spectacularly stupid and join Darwin's Brigade, he'd tell a friend to hold his beer.
My hearing ain't that great.
Although I have bunches of the other scenes, and am rendering a giant rainy thing right now, I love that floater bot. There's some technological magic to it.

Oh cool idea! Love it!
Here is my second entry
Title: Who is there!
Software used: DAZ Studio and PhotoPaint (minor postwork)
Stonemason product used: The Enchanted Forest
Well... I thought I would give this a try, for once.
Not only for the vague possibility of perhaps obtaining a treasure-trove of content as a reward... but also, I suppose, just for the experience of returning to the habit of having to produce some sort of results on a project within a given time-frame.
Of course, I just barely made it... sort of.
That, despite a myriad of the more common obstacles, such as lack of time, lack of render-processing-power, insufficiently varied types of installed content, and the occasional need to eat, sleep, and... even more occasionally... bathe.
Naturally, there still remain a whole lot of shortcomings to be addressed ( eventually, maybe ) in this final product... brought about by a number of 10-to-30 hour background and foreground renders, which in turn necessitated the inevitable cutting-of-corners to try and( supposedly ) save time. In the end, some of them didn't... and only resulted in additional reworking.
So, I had hoped to have two images ( a pair following a common theme ) readied in time for a double entry. The second providing an "explanation" for the first. That is:
A hobbyist's workshop is seen, well-equipped with wood and metal lathes, a mill, drill-press, and other assorted bench-type power tools ( I had though of using "Faded Industry" for this ) as well as being stocked with assorted hand-tools and shelving. A retired-gentleman is shown to be working on a table-top scale-model of a terrain, complete with miniature castle buildings and ruins. He is carefully reaching his hand down to position a small plastic tree-prop on the model terrain....
...... anyway, First Entry, here it is... Part One, at least, such as it is:
Image Title: "The World-Builder".
Rendering Application: Poser 7 ( yes... I'm still two generations behind ).
Stonemason Content used: Winter Kingdom, Ruins and Terrain. The terrain was mirror-copied three times, in a modeler application. Then all four of these sections were rotated and fitted together to provide a "mountainous-region" with a large central "valley". Now things are turning reeaallly slowly in Poser.
Other DAZ content includes:
Michael 4; Freak 3; Michael 3/2; Celestial Armor for M4 by Valandar ; Knight Champion for M4 by Valandar; Barbarian Lord for F3 by blondie9999; Viking and Saxon Paks for M2 by Daz, Lourdes Mercado, John Malis; DAZ's Millennium Horse with Astral-Spine-Bender and Dragon Lord Horse Armor by Ravnheart and ToxicAngel; Millennium Dragon 2; Castle Creator by Faveral; Medieval City and Village by Faveral...
... yes, that is the old Poser 3 or 4 disembodied hand up there. I suppose I could have gone for something a little more "photo-realistic" but, given the nature of the theme, I didn't really want to. Something a bit cartoonish seemed... to me, anyway... more appropriate.
... and I do have a texture pack, to spruce up that Castle Creator a bit... around here... somewhere...

This is the first contest I've ever entered. Even though I am awed by some of the submissions in this thread, I figured it would be fun to work towards a deadline and have to produce something close to a finished product for once (instead of constantly moving from one render I'm only 75% happy with to another).
I just wanted to say Good Luck to everyone that entered this contest. It was really inspiring to see everyone's work, entries and non-entries alike. Regardless of who wins, I think everyone should be proud that they at least tried. I know I am.
;-)
Indeed.
Your work was pretty great too btw :)
Thanks! Your image "The Age of Stonemason" was definitely one of my favorites. ;-)
my (first and only) entry:

It has been great fun returning to this thread again and again to see all the wonderful work that has been entered. This high level of work and the challenge of trying to do some justice to Stonemason's sets really pushed me, and I made a couple of images I'm proud of, just a great experience.
yes good luck to everyone!!!! it was so nice to see everyone's work posted
