    I was so scared for my little baby last night.  I came so close to losing her.  Choking on a piece of Polish sausage off my plate.  She gagged and then, nothing.  I prayed and flipped her over and somehow did the hiemlich (or however it's spelled) and she retched up that piece in a wad of foam.

    Oh, dear God, it was so scary.  And, in the end, she actually tried to snatch the bite back.  I will never understand the mind of a Pommerainian.  It's the only dog breed my family has owned in 40 years---and, after owning 7 of them---they still manage to surprise me.

    So, I thew up this omage to my favorite video game in just a few hours.  I wanted it to be perfect---but, as I have come to see---"Done Is Better Than Perfect."

    How dd I mess up?  I copied the image, used Ctrl--V--and clicked OK  I'm just sorry that like 25 copies showed up.  Jeez, it's like a really bad moment at Kinkos---the kind where like a half reame of paper just blew out the printer.   Again, very sorry.

    Great artworks everyone.. Almost Daz Midnight... To you new peeps.. Please do join us at the various challenges through out the week/month.  I for one would love to see more of your artworks.  Please Wado stay well one and all!

    Whoa .... there are regular challenges?  This is the first one I've seen in my ~ year of using Daz.  I only saw this one because of the tie-in with the FIGHT assets on Saturday's ad.  I'll have to keep my eyes open for future ones :-)

    You will find thes contests in the forumn.  They can be compettitive---and, even addicting.  I tried to join as many monthly ones as it was hard to do the weeklys.  They are great fun.  Join-in and make loads of new friends.  Now that I have a new Daz render-PC, I need to get back myself.  It's been about a year for me.

    Cammie (blonde girl) is Josephina

    Vega (man getting butt kicked) is the santos or Sanchos--I'm not good on names.

    And all the poses came from that Martial arts set,

    I can't remember names well---but, they were ALL qualifying items,  I didn't have time to check my orders page.  But, they were the ones I used,

    https://www.daz3d.com/gallery#gallery=all&sort=newest&page=1&image=1355714

    This is my link to the posted gallery image with the list of qualifying items.  I added the official links to every item used.  I did post the image BEFORE Daz Midnight.  The rush to get it uploaded and my lack of having a list kind of made everything wonky.

    Hello all,

    https://gcdn.daz3d.com/gallery/image/1355500/1731939765/main.png

     

    Or if this is a second post of the image, some folks have told me the first submission image isn't coming up. 

    Products used

    ZK Sci-fi skull 01 for Genesis 9

    MB Sancho for Genesis 9

    Phx Liam HD for Genesis 9

    Lycan 9

    Plus dozens of other pieces from the Daz range. 

    Rendered in Daz then photoshop was used to add the blood and weapons fire and sky.

    Second post.

    It's 3:30AM EST.

    I've think I've figured out how to use D-Force, kinda'... sorta... somewhat...  anyway, it's too late.  Such a shame. I wanted to try pushing the limits of the golden dress asset and take the pose, and simulation, to the extreme. Then when I threw good ol' Henry the Halfling in there (that's what I call him anyway)...  I couldn't help but laugh.

    Totally didn't get it done in time, but as I sit here, chuckling to myself and wondering why I'm not sleeping right now... I thought I should share it with the rest of you anyway. Enjoy!

     

    I present to you, albeit not for consideration:

    Epic Battle Training: The Observations of Henry the Halfling

    *Don't foget to check out the other image below. Now that be some simulations!

    I got into rendering about six months ago and I completely agree. I'm finally at a stage where I'm comfortable sharing my work and I'm so glad that this competition was posted on the main store, I didn't realise how much stuff was in the forums.

    Hey all, here is my entry for this contest. My work title is: "Battle of the Death Queen:Fight for the fallen" It was Rendered in Daz Studio.

    STORY: Akki, being one of the youngest of the sisterhood of the 5 fragments; was eager to win the honor of the other 4 sisters by any means necessary. With this foolhearted mindset directing her actions she set out alone to  bring down the queen of death once and for all. Being significantly underpowered and ill prepared for the battle to come; the queen of death slolwly tortured her to the brink of death. Realizing their foolhearted companion was no longer in their midst; two of the strongest sisters came to Akki's Aide. 

    Qualifying Products Used are:

    1. dForce MKTG Ghost Bride Outfit for Genesis 9, 8.1 and 8 Female
    2. High Edge Outfit for Genesis 9
    3. Vision Add-On for High Edge Outfit
    4. Z Mixed Martial Arts Pose Mega Set for Genesis 9 and 8 Female

    Happy rendering everybody!

    Congratulations to charles

    Main character is G9 using Liam HD as base mixed with Swole and some other face morph tweaks. I still prefer UBER shaders for skin so skin textures are still Liam but the shader is a conversion back to the older one. Gave him geoshell M3D's bloody skins, which is amazing, TYVM for that. New custom normal maps. Blender pre work to fix stuff like reins and armour and blood effects and clothing. Post work in photoshop using some action filters to take out the Daz fake looking CGI specular and add more harsh contrast and skin tones. 85mm lens from https://www.daz3d.com/ig-photographers-toolbox-35mm-cameras always my main goto for best cameras.
