New User's Contest - December 2013
Sponsored by DAZ 3D

Are you new to the 3D World? Are you at the beginning stages of learning 3D rendering? Have you been around for a little bit but feel you could benefit from some feedback or instruction? Have you been around awhile and would like to help other members start their creative journey? Well then come and join the fun as we host our newest contest...
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
"Seasons Celebrations"

This month’s contest is about how you celebrate this time of year be it with friends and family or just how you enjoy the season. Does the Season bring images of snow and fur trees to mind for you? Twinkling lights and tinsel? A warm fireplace and a favorite book? How about a Warm Beach a setting sun and a silly elf hat? As long as its a Seasonal Celebration to you we want to see it.

Objective: To make Festive Card showing what this time of year means to you. We want to see your version of a Card that you think says it is the season. Here is the catch, we wish you to do both the COVER of the card and the INSIDE of the Card. That's right, you can have up to two renders this time. How you do the two is up to you. Two pictures, a Cover and a Poem, a Cover and a border, a cover and a silly saying, they all work as long as you follow the THEME in both.

*If you decide to add text, poem, etc they may be done in your favorite 2D Program and do not need to be rendered.

We will be looking at creativity, composition and the over all theme as presented.

For a list of the current contest rules, please see this thread: http://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/3440/

When working on your submissions, if you would like to get feedback as you work or before posting your final image, please post your image to the WIP THREAD .
