    The entire image and the centaur in particular made me think of "Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief" movie, which frames the idea of mythic characters in modern times interestingly enough. I like the train rails running right through the trough area there. When I originally put the "Yards" together I had a lane-way passing through there but then reconsidered.

    Okay, here we are, Monday morning, so the contest is now officially over. Now the judging begins. We'll need a few days to get feedback on the entries from the other judges. But it shouldn't be too long. I do want to thank you all for participating and taking the time to submit your artwork for the contest. I am very appreciative. Stay tuned.

    i never saw the movie. My inspiration was mostly wanting to do something with mythic characters and then looking at the neighbors yard set :)

    Going through the thread, these appear to be the submissions. If I've missed something, let me know asap. (Those few images that had a B&W or color version, or a light and dark version have not been missed. )

    FirstBastion, thanks for such a great contest, extremely generous prizes and most of all incredible products to work with. And thanks to the judge(s). It couldn't have been easy. Congrats to Bohemian3, LycanthropeX, SabotSnake, Totte, Cruisle and Ivy, and to anyone who participated. I especially liked including tutorials as a key component of the contest. I love seeing how other people work.

    Thanks again!

    Wow... thank you. Got so caught up in the end of the semester didn't get a chance to submit anything else. These contests are so cool... So thank you for running it, and thank you for the honor. I have said it before and will say it many times again: We all are so grateful for artists like FB who produce amazing products for us to mix, match, shred poloygons, twist, turn, and come up with a myriad of ways to create something fresh. Real honor go to you and all the artists here.

    S

    p.s.... I already have most of your products, and actually quite happy some of my coins found their way to your coffer before you bostowed the store on me; )

    Thank you all for the kind comments. The "choice" PMs are slowly trickling in; my plan is to collect them all and send the whole list to the DAZ office all at once. So if you haven't done it yet, send me those choice selections.

    Hi. I sent a whole bunch of confirmations PMs this morning, acknowledging the choices you all have made. If you've sent me a PM but didn't get a response this morning, please resend, and if you still have to send a PM, please send it. I'd like to get this straightened this week. Thank you all again for your patience. And I do hope that some of you will find time to at least post a render or two of the new prizes sets to this thread once they're distributed.

    Okay, I've been crossing the "t" 's and dotting the "i" 's on this and apparently have the prize list in order. (let me just say I do not envy Stonemason's traffic in this regard) What I am missing at this point is a couple of email addresses, most winners have included them but a couple are missing. DAZ requires these to double check that the correct prizes are added to the correct accounts. I'll followup with pm 's to those people. As for the new release. It's done and ready to go, just waiting now for its slot in the schedule. Hopefully it'll all be dispersed together. Thank you all for your patience.
