Ladies, gentlemen, and assorted livestock - lend me your eyes.
I come to praise renderers, and to bury them in goodies.
Judging was very tough, not surprisingly with such a strong field of entries, but after a certain amount of plotting and arguing and a final round of stabbing on the steps of the Moderator Senate we have a final list of winners and their awards so, with no further ado (other than the bustle of paramedics and lictors) here are the results:
It's Raining Men - Repurposed Female Item Side Challenge
1st Prize
Blacksmith JackReason
Wins $20
2nd Prize
Old Rock Star luci45
Wins $10

Congratulations, winners!!! Renders all deserving a win. One or two of my favorites was even up there. Just glad I didn't have to judge. Thanks to all of the moderators for putting this together. It was a lot of fun and we all got to see some outstanding renders!!
As soon as I find out who gets my GC donation to the prize pool, I'll send out a pm with the code. Again, great renders guys. Congratulations!!!
Congratulatios to the winners. So many winners, and honorable mentions! It was a fun contest, and a difficult one to judge, I'm sure. So very many great renders. It was an honor to compete with so many talented artists. I don't suppose we could make this an annual event, could we?
And I'd just like to say thank you for the thread in the Art Studio. Much easier to view the entries there.
Also... Thank you, judges, for your time. Thank you to all who provided the prizes. There wouldn't have been a contest without you all.
Congratulations to all the winners and entrants (it takes will just to create and be satisfied enough to call it finished). Thanks to all the judges and sponsors.
Wow! I'm thrilled to be included in the winners list. Thank you for the honor and for all the hard work you put into running the contest and judging. I imagine selecting winners was tough. There were a lot of good images submitted. It will be fun to go back through them all in the new link you gave.
I think all the images were excellent. I tend to disagree with judges most of the time on winning entries in art contests so I hope those who didn't win aren't discouraged since there were many excellent entries here.
This was a fun challenge and very topical. Congratulations to the winners. Also to the judges because there were so many excellent entries to evaluate. Thank you Daz forum moderators for the idea and for implementing it. I had a great time seeing what everyone came up with.
Congratulations to all the winners and the honorable mentions. Thanks the mods for putting everything in one thread so we can see them together.
I do have something to ask, is it possible to find out where our own entries fell in relation to the winners. I'd just like to know if mine would have been the next honorable if one was awarded, or number 140. Since I've never entered here before I don't know if this is possible. It's hard to improve if you don't know how bad you are (in relation to the winners of course). None of my 3 entries even got a comment so I don't know. I mean, I didn't expect to win or even place, but to get no feedback is hard to take.
Again, congrats to the winners, honorables, judges, and everyone who entered. Looking foreward to the next one (hint, hint).

I wonder how much we could charge for the slot?
Don't even consider it! You know Vicky 4 has the most money and she'll fill that slot with naked pictures of herself posing with swords! The horror!
You forgot about the temple she'll be at when taking those photos.
So, travel companies and armaments manufacturers might be interested in a sponsorship deal? Thanks.

We have also moved the thread we used for judging into the Art Studio, so you can see all the images without any posts in between.

Lets do this again, sooner rather than later!
Congratulations to all the winners and kudos to the Judges.
Congratulations winners! It was wonderful seeing so many great male renders! Hopefully we'll get to do it again soon. :D

I am so happy to see my image in the winners circle. Thank you all so much. It was great fun! Denise
congratulations everyone :)
Congrats to the winners. Great images!
Wow, I never expected to win the side challenge. There were a lot of great images. Thank you everyone.
I think all the images were excellent. I tend to disagree with judges most of the time on winning entries in art contests so I hope those who didn't win aren't discouraged since there were many excellent entries here.
That said, congratulations to those who did win.
Congratulations to the winners - I suspect many of you will probably be using your prizes to buy your dudes a shirt
More likely lotion or sun oil...
A big congratulations to all the winners! Now I'm just waiting to be told who to send my money to.
Congrats! Lovely set of renders and men! :D
Congratulations the Winners, and many thanks to the Judges for creating a fun contest :-)
Congrats to all the winners! There were so many good works, no wonder it took them so long to decide.
Congratulations to the winners! Outstanding images!
All the entries looked great, must have been a tough job for the mods.
Thanks for putting the challenge together.

OMG! I got an honourable mention! Never thought I stood even a chance, what with all the absolutely AMAZING entries.
Thank you SO much to all the Mods involved and to everyone who entered. This was a really fun (and sexy) competition.
Oh Glorious God!
I am very happy with my second place! I want to thank everyone were involved in choice and those who donated the prizes.



Thank you so much!
And I want to congratulate the other placed and all those who participated. It really was fun and sexy
Congrats the winners - great images!
Congratulations to all the winners - well done
- it was fun seeing such a wide variety, so congrats to all the entrants too.
Congrats to the winners, and a great thank you to the judges for putting all the effort into making such a tough choice. :-D
