    Detectives! The end draws near, and the case must close. I have set up a mobile evidence collection point to gather the last shreds of evidence for consideration. Tread carefully though denizens, I am under a constant and sustained attack by hungry dwarfs. A cunning and calculated tactic by an evil genius.

    6 Hours Denizens, hand in your homework.

    Yours,

    The hubbes.

    Animal Mayhem

    One more from me; I started working on this early on, but I don't really have the skill to handle such a scene.

    The case and the art
    ok I'm here, you've found the case, but if you want it, you'll have to solve a quiz first: here are two canvases, one is artwork, the other is food. Find the differences and discover the art.

    THE CURIOUS CASE OF THE CASE

    As our investigation draws to a close, I would like to congratulate each and every one of you for gathering compelling evidence from the farthest reaches of land and sea. It wounds me deeply that I must select only a few key pieces of intel to award prizes, because you all did such a spectacular job. Even if your piece does not appear on this list, I saw your evidence, examined it thoroughly, and enjoyed it immensely.

     

    WINNERS

    #1 Indy Chicken Island (Bastrup):

    Bastrup submitted a few excellent pieces of evidence, and it was hard to pick a favourite. This is great though, we can clearly see the origins of the SMUC.

     

    #2 Loft Fishing (ioonrxoon):

    Our champion from last year returns once again to deliver a spree of high quality evidence. We were impressed with all of these, and it was an incredibly tight race to the top. Well done xoon!

     

    #3 Chicken-ntel (Rafael):

    Originally submitting an obvious and outrageous counterfeit, Rafael snatched victory from the jaws of defeat when he submitted a high quality original piece of evidence. Solid work.

     

    #HM The case found at last (Northallerton):

    Very compelling evidence. Perhaps linked to the #1 spot? Intriguing.

     

    #HM Reggie (Stezza):

    Stezza offered a wide range of informative and evocative intel. Stezza is acknowledged for doing so. Good Stezza angel.

     

    #HM Hello, My Baby (LaPartita):

    A curious and spooky piece of evidence. Who knows what power the case holds.

     

    #HM Richard Is On the Case (Barabult):

    An inside joke, or an inside job? Either way, cats are appreciated in this detectives office.

     

    Now onto the winners of the Make Art Button contest sponsored by Totte.

    These winners are all awarded HM prizes, and you should reach out to totte for your dazzling prizes!

     

    #HM Self Portrait (LaPartita):

    #HM Charley the Chimp (Barabult):

    #HM The Case History (emanuela1):

    #HM Wrong Chicken (ioonrxoon):

    For the winners, please contact either myself or totte respectively with your email addresses to receive your prizes!

     

    ….And there you have it, a climactic end to another April. I sincerely hope you all enjoyed yourselves. Thank you to linwelly and totte for supporting the investigation, and thank you all once again for everyone who took part. Hubert has to bounce, but I hope you will all consider joining us once again next year for more unfettered tomfoolery.

     

    Have an excellent year guys, stay safe x

    It was fun to see all the ideas and styles in the images. Nice work everyone!
    And it was a nice surprise that my chicken-ntel was bug-free at the end!

    I sent a PM to KindredArts, but I haven't received a reply. Did I send to the wrong username, or is he just busy?

     Dont worry, i'm here. I'm just waiting to scoop up everyones email addresses before i send them off to DAZ. I'm covering the HM payouts and Daz is doing the top 3 payouts, so i'm going to try and sync them when i have everyones contact details. If i don't do it this way, i end up missing people, and that's no good.

    Hang tight, i just have a couple of people outstanding.

    Yes, I have it, thanks!

    I'm just missing Rafael, Northallerton and Stezza. If you guys can see this, could you just shoot your email addresses over to me. If you've already sent them, could you do it once more.

    I had someone send me a few messages that didn't get through after the qube games, so they might not be reaching me.
