Postwork in CS5

LOL!  I was out of town this weekend, but am delighted to see the images that appeared when I was gone.  I literally did laugh out loud at the clever and creative ways everyone is putting together their odds-and-ends items!  Carry on!!

Looks Fun lets see what we get. Hm… 20 items per page and go…
1 Alluring Gardens
2 Native Cheyenne Village
3 Fantasy Camp II
4 Zepplin Star
61 my birth year Castle Ruins
Wow… what a Hodge podge. Off to hunt a good idea. Where is my thinking cap?

Ten hours later. I’m back with my first and probably only Render. This is a 100% DS3A render.

Title: Far Camp #27
The Story…
Crackle,“Sky barge 7 to New Gov, Repeating, Sky barge 7 to New Gov come in. Over.”
Pop,“This is New Gov Central we read you load and clear Sky barge 7, go ahead. Over.”
“I have Far Camp 27 at Lowes Ruins Park in view Central, all looks well sense our last visit, the refugees look well and the garden project appears to be well under way. Over.”
“Roger that #7, I’m sure the supplies your carrying will lift their spirits, the short-band radio will at least give them an ear out. We have weather plotted coming your way #7, we suggest you and the crew moor down and wait for it to pass. Over.”
“Understood Central, will follow advice, I’ll meet with the camp leader and get what help we can. Anything else I should do Central? Over.”
Popity pop! “Inform the leader that Devonrun and Bills Down bridges are under repair and we should have land access to them within the next few months. Over”
Snap pop,“Rodger Central, Sky barge #7 out, preparing for landing. Will report again when moored in. Over”

As this is a contest for NEW renders I’m guessing we must wait untill it ends to Cross post our renders to other threads. Is that correct?

Ok I’ll give it a try.

50 per page.
I found this.
1. Fantasy Camp II
2. Shadow Dancer V4
3. Maximum Overkill
4. Wood chopping Kit
5. Treasure Chests
For the rest.

The background is a picture from the internet.

A story hmmm let’s see……. She stole the treasures from a tomb only some bad people want to steal it from her only she won’t allow that. so STAY BACK.

Title: STAY BACK
Used Daz 4 Pro and some Photoshop

No, as long as you’ve posted them here first, share away. Every post has a date and time, so I’m not worried.  Besides… would be pretty impressive if you’d rendered an image with your items already!

I did mine was the one above that post. I’m thinking of doing another with the same items like you put in the rules. Different theme this time though.

Fantastic!  That’s the idea of this contest—creativity!

I pulled the following items:
1. Aiden for M5
2. Full & Feathered Hair for Genesis
3. GIS for Genesis Male
4. Wyvern 2.0
5. Genesis Creature Creator Bundle

Additional items used:
Ancient Book from DAZ freebies (sorry, I do not know who made it, as it does not seem to contain creator info, and freebie site is down)
Jepe’s PlateZ (effect on the floor, wyvern breath) by Jepe.
Free RDNA Atmospherics: Fog by Traveler.
Furify: Fur Shaders for the loincloth and vest (vest itself is GIS for Genesis Male) by Marieah and 3DLust.
Loincloth is from Cheyenne for M4 by Ravenhair.

The stage and mostly-unseen other areas are made out of primitives, and shaded with Eva1’s Wood Shaders for DAZ Studio.
The microphone comes from a freebie by thegoodtaste at Rendo.
Astral for GIS by Moyra used for spicing up the basic GIS for Genesis Male.

Storytime!

A hair metal revival in 2012? Well, sure, why not! The previously moderately successful, but now mostly forgotten Blind Ozelot band started its gig somewhere in god-forgotten Mid-Western town, in a concert hall that looked like it had been a barn up until two weeks ago. To spice things up and give gossip rags and blogs something to talk about, the lead singer “Betty” Smith decided to urge the gathered audience to chant after him, as he read plain mumbojumbo off some book that claimed to be an authentic book of spells—a spell for strength, power, fame and ferocity.

He did not expect it to work. He did not expect a rift between worlds, and above all, he did not expect his otherworldly twin to show up. As one stagehand—an avid gamer—later put it, “It was like looking at a half-orc version of Betty.”

There were screams, sparks, uncontrollable bursts of magic, and finally, darkness and dead silence and when the lights came back, the stage was empty—no book, no Betty, no screaming wyvern, nor a rider on top of it, not even a drop of blood. All that remained was one final reel of film, and one memorable frame on it.

Everyone agreed that it would make a spiffy CD sleeve cover.

I love this one, Skiriki! Very good render, and literally made me laugh out loud! It would make a good CD cover…might be worth turning it into one in postwork, just for fun…?

Maaaaayyyyyybe… Won’t promise anything, but I’ll look into it.

Coming a little late to the party…my draw is:

Page 1 - 3rd from bottom = Aged for V4/M4 (by DAZ 3D)
Dot-Dot - 7th from top = Gabriel Hair (by AprilYSH)
Middle page (23) middle item = Lisa’s Botanicals - Wisteria (by Lisa Buckalew)
Last page, last item = Young Teens Morph Pack (by DAZ 3D)
Birthdays numbers “19” - page 19 item = Gorgon Hallway (by Redhouse Studios)

First attempt:
