    Thanks Totte for your comments.  Mea culpa... and apologies for the wrong personal pronoun. edited.... 

    Quite a musical history for the loo.... has anyone thought up a song for the looky-loo?

    thanks for your comments Bohemian3.  despite all the drama unfolding around her, the kid is totally unimpressed, and intent on her own world.

    that could even become a running joke... unimpressed non-sequitur Geisha Baby popping up randomly in rendors.  you don't have to try to explain it.

    Title: Haunted Full Moon Halloween Dance

    The Haunted Moon Halloween Dance is only open to a select few - the few faces you'll find on the yearbook's "In Memory of" pages, the ones who didn't make it to the senior prom or graduation. It's an East Park tradition - the current graduating class of the new Parkside High sneak into the old building when there's a full moon on Halloween and decorate the halls for a Halloween dance - then slip away so the ghosts can have the special night they missed out on in high school.

    Doing some catchup here - I just wanna say, though, this has been a really rough week for me emotionally and physically, and checking in here to see the renders and the back and forth comments - as well as working on my own stuff - is pretty much what has kept me from totally falling apart. I know how overdramatic that sounds, but trust me on this: I appreciate y'all more than you know right now. And with that...

    @luci45 #8 - All that glitters, amirite? Something vaguely familiar about that design aesthetic. I can't quite put my finger on it. Love it!

    @Gopherus #2 - Return to Beach Blanket Bingo! Annette doesn't look too thrilled, and I have a feeling her fate is all zippered up. Seconding the random baby Geisha girl, too... though I'm wondering about that knife in her hand!

    @gopherus #3 - I swear I have a friend who'd think that up and pull it off! Your hostess looks wonderfully amused. Also, I'd love to have seen the "performance" you described. It sounds adorable.

    @Bohemian3 - Aw, thanks for the kind words. It was a super-challenging scene, but I had a lot of fun with it.

    On to Pull #7 when I finish updating my list with all the cool stuff I picked up in the PC+ sale!

    As if any further proof were needed that Hollywood has officially exhausted the Well of Original Ideas, director Michael Bay announced his latest project: an "edgy" reboot of The Shadow -- in IMAX 3D.

    Admit it, guys, you'd walk out of this film on an airplane!

    @diomede It's so annoying when that happens! Love the cartoon filter on this one!

    @Ken I'm a sucker for old movies - I'd sit through it.

    @Totte I've gotta admit - the maid might distract me a bit, too... nice mirror work!

    @bohemian3 There's always that one super-competitive family....

    I am becoming increasingly persuaded that those Vampyre-for-G8 characters were intended to be rendered naked!  I've tried several outfits on each (and I don't have all that much Genesis 8 clothing yet anyway), and I haven't experienced poke-through like this since my Generation-3 days!  Nothing fits either of them!  Obviously, these characters simply were not meant to be wearing clothes!

    And in any event, why should they?  They're vampyres!  You think they give a fat, furry, gerbil's butt whether somebody's moral sensibilities might be offended if they skulk about in the dark starkers!?

    Okay, rant over.  As you were.

    Got it in in time!  And I finally got around to doing something more "seasonal"!  Minor post-work in GIMP.  And I didn't suck at it this time; go figure!

    Anneka Demon for Genesis 3 Female

    Well, I wanted vampires, but I had to settle for demons; because naked vampires are very un-TOS, and those guys just would not stay in their clothes!  (I had a nephew like that, many years ago; I assume he eventually out-grew it!)

  • Ken OBanionKen OBanion Posts: 1,447

    I'll give that a try.  Thanks!

    I probably won't have time to bang out another before the deadline, but I'm going to pull another set, anyway!  Maybe I'll get inspired.

    The pull:

    5212 - Genesis 2 Female Expressions and Face Aniblocks
    534 - Glute and Breast Control Bundle for Genesis 8 Female
    1786 - Growing Up Skin for Genesis 3 Male
    838 - Beer Drinking Props

    Hmm, something tells me I'm not going to make the deadline with this one...!

    Anyway, I want to thank everybody for the kind comments and encouraging words.  And, in the spirit of 'turn-about is fair play' and 'no good deed goes unpunished'..., here's my take on all that has come before.

    Totte #1 -- That same stream-of-consciousness lunacy that we've all come to expect from you!  Well done!  (Just the same, I think I'll stick with my local Firestone shop, thank you very much!)

    greys #1 -- This is simply beautiful!  Haunting, and so powerful.  All I can say is..., DAMN!

    luci45 #1 -- Once again, Luci, you knocked it out of the park!  Such meticulous attention to detail, and those details...!  Another great one!  That is a very active scene with a lot going on.  And that kid is downright creepy...!

    Totte #2 -- There's a tentacle-porn joke in there somewhere, but I'm not sure I want to go looking for it!  "The insanity is strong in this one."  And whether that was Yoda or Dr. Phil, I can't tell you....

    Gopherus #1 -- I hope I'm not the only one who picked up on the irony of "Hawkeye" wearing glasses!

    luci45 #2 -- You always do those graphic-novel scenes so well, and this one is no exception!  (Can't say much for the cliff-hanger ending, though...!)

    Chameo #1 -- This one is almost Totte-caliber zany!  Great job!  And yeah, I can relate: once the tequila shots start flowing, all bets are off!  (It's why I stick with Martinis!)

    Chameo #2 -- Another good one!  I can also relate, because I was that kid!

    Morana #1 -- It wouldn't be an RRRR without a Christmas-themed render!  Well played!  (And when the Elf-on-the-Shelf display went up at my local Palais Royal -- two weeks after Labor Day -- I got downright Grinch-y, too!)

    luci45 #3 -- Yeah, I hate it when things get dropped on me from above!  (It usually isn't Bank-a-Ball balls, though!)

    barbult #1 -- Wow, Tom's tree is all grown up!  Nice colors, and the poses are great!

    dreamfarmer #1 -- This one is almost inexpressably sad, but it's excellent, precisely because of that!  The framing is simply magnificent!  I especially like the angle of the camera

    luci45 #4 -- I just love this one!  And your first 'Continuum Adjustment' is still the wallpaper on my Mac!

    dreamfarmer #2 -- Another Christmas-themed render!  You can't go wrong with those!  And the toys are something else!  (One Christmas, one of my toys was a battery powered nuclear attack submarine; it had wheels and rolled across the floor; the torpedoes fired from the bow tubes, and it launched Polaris missiles.  It was the coolest toy EVER!)

    Totte #3 -- Typical Totte: deliciously weird!

    luci45 #5 -- Wow, Witch Balea goes through husbands as fast as Zha Zha Gabor!  I love the effects!  (And the Martini glass was a nice touch, too!)

    Totte #4 -- You're sure keeping Tom busy this round!  More Totte madness; I feel like I'm on hallucinogens!  (Or should be!)  And it's nice to hear that the Waterloo orchestra is still getting gigs!

    luci45 #6 -- Damn, Luci, you are on FIRE!  Such an amazing variety of..., people?  Seriously, it's the characters that make this one!

    Totte #5 -- What really makes this one stand out is that you have Karibou nailed!  The resemblance is simply uncanny!

    Chameo #3 -- This one is a great composition, but maybe more than a little controversial; you know how some people feel about that whole 'animal testing' thing! (JK)

    luci45 #7 -- This is one busy image!  And I love the homages to Hitchcock's masterpiece scattered all through it!  (Rather like Hitch himself, with his legendary cameos!)

    Totte #6 -- Oh, wow, this one is really weird!  Juggling chainsaws is tricky enough all by itself, but lying in a glass coffin, waiting for him to slip and drop one on you...?  That's some nerves of steel!

    luci45 #8 -- Still going strong, I see!  I love the attention to detail (the debris on the floor and the shattering glass).  A very active scene; well done!

    Chameo #4 -- I love this one!  The overall color scheme is excellent, and the scene is downright charming in its domesticity!

    Chameo #5 -- Actually, I like both of them!  Great use of the pull, too; really imaginative.  (Okay, maybe I like the darker tone just a little bit better...!)

    luci45 #9 -- Another great one, Luci!  And you have to admit that Lord Biddle is right; that's more gold than you'd find in Donald Trump's bathroom!

    Gopherus #2 -- Wow, what a memory that evokes!  Nice arrangement, and lots of atmosphere!

    Gopherus #3 -- Okay, this one is a classic, right down to the title!  It's just one solid, wall-to-wall- groaner of a pun!  And it's brilliant!

    Chameo #6 -- Very well done: spooky and sentimental, all rolled into one!  I love it!

    bohemian3 #1 -- This one is just wonderfully macabre; it's great!  But I'm curious about the timing: did they dig him up on Wednesday, so they could "throw him back" on Thursday?

    Totte #8 -- (although I think it's supposed to be #7, isn't it?)  Whatever, it's still wonderfully silly!

    Diomede #1 -- Wow, I'm really impressed by the "toon" style of this render!

    Chameo #7 -- I really like this one!  The concept is positively inspired!

    Okay, it's off to see what I can do with this wet, hot mess of a pull (with less than eleven hours to deliver the goods)!

    Ken, thank you for you well done comments, they are very fun to read, and yes was #7 (I had was probably tired when I did the post, it took ages to render). Anyone has figured out yet that Tom's reoccuring is a "They're baa..aack" och the RRRR Chain render contest", guessed so lol, probably too deep. ;-)

    Seconding the thanks for those comments, Ken! They were a very enjoyable walk back through the last couple of weeks. And your #06 is great. I kinda wanna see them all team up and head to one of those parties together... (also, the clothing pokethrough thing? Gah! Since I totally customized Phylicia, I ended up having to dForm every. one. of those outfits on her except the Ghost Bride. They all had peek-a-boo holes in very strategic places.)

    And because I'm _that_ crazy, going to try for one more before deadline...
