RENDERS ONLY: Not So Fast Contest For Mischief Makers
Novica
Posts: 23,859
This thread is ONLY for renders. Comments or questions should go on this thread. It also explains how the interactive gameplay worked, how players first selected their products, and the Not So Fast! moves players could make against each other. Products got moved around frequently!
If you'd like to see the mayhem gamer players imposed on each other (some very crafty moves) you can see the timeline and gameplay here. If using the timeline, click on the Old Hagred links for the witch humor graphics. Folks couldn't wait to ditch the witch!
Winners will be determined based on the quality of the render, creativity, and on the effective use and integration of the two required sets, three props, and character (which for the most part, other players imposed upon them.)
1. Entries must be received no later than Daz Midnight August 31st. No exceptions, strictly enforced.
2. Prizes are Daz Gift Certificates, as discussed on the initial thread here. (link)
3. Entries may have 3-4 lines of story/explanation with the emphasis on the render telling the story. (This isn't a writing/render competition, it's a render competition.)
4. At the top of your post, please put the title in bold and then your name in ( ) I'd recommend making it a different color such as blue, dark green, red so it stands out.
5. Images must be a minimum of 600 x 600 pixels for either side.
6. In this order (so there's consistency) please put on a single line each:
Set 1: (LINK)
Set 2: (LINK)
Prop 1: (LINK)
Prop 2: (LINK)
Prop 3: (LINK)
Character: (LINK)
THEN any paragraph/explanation goes here.
7. Please embed in the post no larger than 600 x 600 image. It can be clickable for viewers to see a larger size. Please make it open a new window so folks can easily X out of it. (If you don't know how, please PM me.)

Excalibur!
AKA ...or the Legend of Citizen Arthur & his Zen of the the Round Table who took it upon themselves to buy asphalt with their own money and fix the potholes in their neighborhood themselves, thereby pulling the sword out of the stone.
I decided to submit my render now so I don't have to mess with rendering the next few weeks as I'd love to finish sanding my floors and be done with that cloud of wood dust being thrown up everywhere in my house once & for all. Or at least for a couple of decades.
The Grape Xscape Chess Bar (NOT AN ENTRY)
IceDragonArt, finding herself under the Eternal Companion Spell,* tries to take her mind off it by engaging in a variety of activities. While Scrappy The Robot brings the chess pieces, IceDragonArt is forced to listen to the history of chess. All of it, as Old Hagred has been around for quite some time.
*For those who may not know, during the game, Old Hagred was passed from player to player like the Old Maid. IceDragonArt couldn't ditch the witch in time and got stuck with her, and also got an Eternal Companion spell to add to the misery. Here's a closeup showing her sheer joy as she listens to the history lesson.

Look, Garan the first thing we need to do is figure out how to get past the giant alligators that surround the place. Look here! And then we have to avoid drawing the attention of those flying skeleton bowmen. If we can get inside and avoid any other traps, then we might have a chance to get to that tomb and liberate the Storm Bringer's Sword.

Congrats all, cool competition with some nice entries!
Thanks for organising it and congrats to all those who entered.
Congratulations to the winners! And thanks for all the hard work of the organizers, sponsors, and voters. Also, the efforts of the participants.
By the way I'm listed as a $5 gift card winner but two sponsors are listed as sending it to give you a head up. I don't want to take another participant's reward for participating.
Congrats to all the participants and winners. Wonderful job!!! I have some quick comments on the entries:
Nonesuch00 - Very cute scene, love your use of the toonie elephant pack. Creative backstory for the scene.
Kismet2012 - Keys - What a mixed up bunch of items you drew! The final render looks surreal, and yet still somehow believable.
Barbult - Muck vs Kong - very original, no idea how you came up with the idea. I don't think I'd know what to do with Muck, lol. Seems like a realistic scene out of a future times movie.
Rgcincy - A New Day - I don't envy you, having to put a delicate gazebo together with an abandoned gas station, but you really made it work. I think all the greenery you used pulled it all together. Now I want a burger.
IceDragonArt - Treasure Hunters - Fantastic scene and backstory. Great marrying of futuristic items and fantasy items to make all of look fantasy based. I'd go see the movie.
3dcheapskate - Curious Removals - You really drew a strange mix of items to use and I'm very impressed at what you managed to put together. Interesting scene, something one might see in a children's animated movie.
Dreamfarmer - Don't Wake The Baby!!! - Another one where I don't envy you for the random items you had to use. Amazing work on Sun Hall, it looks gorgeous. Nice work giving the render a dream quality (matching your name? lol).
Xmasrose - Our Very Own Gyro Gearloose! - LOL, I love this scene. Setting the bar up on the pier is genius and works. "Crazy alien inventor" kind of reminds me of the dad in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
Stormylyght - Lighting The Way - OMG, you had to pair unicorns and cyber dogs! What a creative way to do that, I'm way impressed. Love the term "wayfinders." Great mystical vibes.
Saphirewild - Training Excercise - I have no idea how you managed to throw a troll into that strange mix of items you had to use, and yet you made it work. Love the blue and black hues, makes it really seem like the sun hasn't come up yet.
LaPetiteVerita - And Straight On Till Morning - Yet another one with strange/disparate items you had to use. Fine job doing so, too. Your tune characters have great poses/expressions. The entire piece has a dreamy quality.
And finally, @Novica - you must have been a cruise director (like cruise director Julie in The Love Boat) because you throw some wonderful Dazalicious parties. One way or another, you draw everyone into your various "events." Thanks for the entertainment. Fun as it may be, it was clearly a lot of work too. I envy your organizational skills.
I had already changed that :) I had to go to three places to make the changes so I was making the rounds awhile ago :) Note the edit time was 2:27am.
Thank you @Worlds_Edge for taking the time to comment on all the images.
Seconded !
Oh my gosh! I don't even know what to say. Thank you very much! I had such a good time with this and it really stretched my imagination to put all those things together. I really think we all did a great job of pulling things together.
Thank you for the kind words World's Edge as well as sponsoring and to whomever else was kind enough to donate to the cause (I know Novica set most of it up but I seriously can't remember if anyone else donated or not.) Another big thank you to Novica for herding us all in the right direction on this! And another thank you for the judges as well, for taking the time over what was a busy holiday weekend for many of you, and a weekend in general for the rest to vote on our entries.
Congratulations to all and way to go IceDragonArt!
I thought all the images showed great creativity and took many of us beyond our usual comfort zone (which is a good thing, I know it is for me). Thanks to all the judges and special thanks to "cruise director" Novica.
@Worlds_Edge Thank you for taking the time to comment the images and for sponsoring the contest.
I am glad you liked Our Very Own Gyro Gearloose! It took me some time to find the right POV.
