    Finally got my first pull done. Wanted to do something different with the DragonFish, since it is normally big and fearsome, it's....not. And not the main focus of the render. Here's the products in case anyone is interested.

    DragonFish http://www.daz3d.com/dragonfish
    Morgan For Genesis http://www.daz3d.com/morgan-for-victoria-42-and-genesis
    M4 Ensign http://www.daz3d.com/m4-ensign
    Ruffle Bikini http://www.daz3d.com/ruffle-bikini

    It took me two weeks to make that stupid fishing pole! From a rake and a piece of coiled rope. D-formers and Polygon Group editing. Will be posting a tutorial on how I did it (and of course, people who model could have zipped right along. I tried Curvy but didn't have the time to master it, and using a coiled rope meant the rope fibers were there. But UGH.

    Best Catch Of The Day

    Morgan is puzzled by her catch because it doesn’t look quite…normal.
    Gunner isn’t puzzled at all about his catch!

    Thank you. Bigh could have made it in ten minutes with Curvy3D. Took me two weeks with a rake and a coiled rope that does NOT uncoil. I know you're popping in to my art studio thread and I will be showing screenshots of how it was done shortly :)

    In case people want to know other info:
    the man is:
    http://www.daz3d.com/gunner-for-david-5

    the set is
    http://www.daz3d.com/oversea-bungalow

    and the water/background is

    Oversea Bungalow has nice water, I just used The Rock because I was going after the background cliffs so just kept it all.

    And here's the next:

    1678 - Shayarin V4 Unimesh Fits
    674 - Fairytale Collection - Sleeping Beauty

    And the "Chain" rollover..., Urban Wear for M4 Unimesh Fits (mostly because I want to get this guy into SO MUCH TROUBLE...!)

    "Throw It Back...NOW!!!"

    Gunner is once again delighted by his catch.

    I reused the M4 Ensign outfit. Had to use Arwen (texture), the bed, and the jellyfish. This was SO much fun! I'm done though, with Thanksgiving this week I'm out of time. I highly recommend Gunner and Morgan (I used Genesis) as they are easy to work with.
    I'm sure enjoying all the artwork- thank you Totte for doing the contest.

    Title: Mistress Morgan Raises the Bar
    Tag: hawkonthewing#3

    Mistress Morgan went to help her friends Francis and Aiko train to be real crimefighters! When she got to their training course, she was highly disappointed to find it lacking a certain something. She thought for a while as she watched them practice. She decided first, they simply must change outfits to make things more challenging. Then, she added one change to the rings to make them a teensy bit more challenging. Francis and Aiko were amazed at the results of their new training. They both were stronger and faster than ever before!

    Great stuff everybody...this has been a fun one. I think I must have subconsciously influenced by Sasje#1 in my choice to turn the Stinger (which wasn't even one of my pull items) into a toy. Barbult's cherry tree series has been very amusing, as has Novica's "Catch of the Day" series. And KyotoKid: wow, that's a cool render!

    Pull #1

    550 Victoria 5 Starter Bundle
    297 Flat Top Hair
    164 The Desk Collection
    843 Dystopia City Blocks 001-010 (Poser)

    Hmm...so many possibilities...

    Tag: Scott-Livingston#1
    Title: The Downfall of Dystopia (Batteries Not Included)

    From the V5 Starter Bundle I used Victoria 5, Gabi (as "Gabe"), Pure Hair: Bubblegum, Handy for Genesis, V5 General Poses.

    Lighting: 1 Advanced Ambient Light, 1 UE2, 2 Advanced Spotlight

    Other items used: Stinger, Starship Stingray, Predator vs. Prey Bundle, West Park Horror Movie Poses 2, Growing Up for Genesis, Town and Country for Genesis, Mall Girl for Genesis, Tre, The Study, Millennium Dragon 2, MachPack...I think that's it.

    Thomas awoke with a start. Unicorn??? He realized he wasn't drifting down the river; he was drifting off to sleep. Thomas had to get up and get busy. The State Fair was coming to town, and he had to get his Cherry Tree ready for judging.

    Next Day at the State Fair: As the media swarmed in by land and by air to get the news, Thomas' Cherry Tree was judged best of show. His disgruntled former bonsai club members fumed and pouted as Thomas was awarded the Governor's Cup. His Cherry Tree would be displayed in the Governor's Mansion, and Thomas had an open invitation to visit it any time.

    Mistress Morgan went to a fantasy faire, and discovered much to her dismay that the scheduled dancers were nowhere to be found. Her friend Michael was frantically searching everywhere. Mistress Morgan had a thought, "I'll bet I know just where they are!" So she hustled Michael off to where she had a hunch they would be. And she was right, there they were!

    ...after a long voyage and a good home cooked dinner, Captain Donavan mentioned a little R&R was in order. After a bit of a walk he pointed to what appears to be the ruins of an ancient structure, .

    "Excuse me Mr Captain", the male passenger asked. "There? That is nothing but a heap of rubble and a few standing columns."

    "Ah my elegant friend," Donovan replied, "Never judge a waterin' hole by its cover".

    Gesturing to the rest of the group he headed toward the tumbled down edifice. As they approached there was the sound of music statementing from one what appeared to be a stairwell leading down into the ground. The Captain smiled, "I think y'all will like this place". After descending the old but seemingly well maintained stairs they entered into a large, colorfully lit underground chamber

    Donavan looked at Vera who smiled and in nodded in agreement.

    "First round is on me" he announced, "Welcome to...
