Please read the Guidelines and post only your ENTRIES in this thread. Use the Guideline thread for questions and comments. The contest begins July 1st and runs the entire month of July. The ending deadline is strickly enforced, posts after midnight Daz time on the final day will not be eligible for any prizes. Thanks for participating and honoring GypsyAngel, a wonderful vendor!
VOTING ENDED SATURDAY AUGUST 10th, midnight Daz time.
What are you voting for? That's up to you. You may like the story behind the render and the render, you may like the artistry used, or you may like the humor. It's up to you to decide what is memorable to you and also did GypsyAngel's products justice.
The way it works- Please vote for 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th places. First place earns 6 points, second earns 4 points, third place earns 2 points, and 4th place earns 1 point.
To be eligible for prizes, participants MUST vote. You will vote first place for yourself.
If you are a participant with multiple entries, ONLY VOTE FOR ONE OF YOURS (1st place) and then chose 2nd, 3rd, and 4th from other people's entries. I will manually allot only 2 points (instead of 4) to the second place choice of multiple entry voters, as it's not fair for them to have to give someone a 4 point edge over their own second render.

August 10th, 2019 AND THE WINNERS ARE.......
The amounts shown are in Daz Gift Cards. Congratulations to all the winners and participants, as you can see, some places were determined by only one to two points! Where there was a tie, the two entries got the higher amount (if one was 8.00 and one was 10.00 both participants are awarded the 10.00)
The points shown do NOT show the artists' vote for first place for themselves, as that cancelled out each others' votes. The points reflect what OTHERS awarded to the render.
Please put all comments over on the discussion thread. :)

Statement used: #8 ("GypsyAngel? No, haven't seen her.")
Links to main products: Ronan for G3M, Sawyer for G3M, Merrick for Michael 7, Nala for G3F
Story: The lovely heiress GypsyAngel (played by Nala) is hiding from her evil cousin Amir (played by Ronan), who wants to control her fortune by marrying her off to his twerpy brother Akbar. The kindly young merchant Ali (played by Sawyer) is doing his best to cover for her, but he's not good at lying. Ali's bodyguard, the Varangian mercenary Thorstein (played by Merrick), watches carefully, ready to intervene if the kid gets in over his head.
Additional products used: Persian Kucheh, Morrocan Dreams, Chohole Freebie Textures for Morrocan Dreams, Spartan Warrior for G3M, Spartan Warrior Textures, Thracian Gladiator, Thracian Gladiator Textures, Leandros Hair, Perseus Hair, Audrey Hair, Ultimate Hair Textures 2, Iradiance Light Probe 3, Finlay Hair, Dforce Master Cloth Simulation, and the discontinued Persian Kucheh Action Poses, converted forward using the V4 to G2F Pose Converter and the G2F to G3F Pose Converter. Poses adjusted using Bone Doctor. Morrocan Dreams converted forward using the G3M versions of Wear Them All and Ultra Templates. Nala is also wearing a freebie dress by Fisty & Darc, but I don't believe it's in the store anymore.
OK, I searched & I had only a G2M product from GypsyAngel and there was no easy way to get the product to G8M to use as the cop I had created a scene for like your Ferran ad copy example. So no GypsyAngel product in my render I'm afraid.

Statement Used: “GypsyAngel owns this?” Entry # 1
Products Used: Eilish for Genesis 3 Female, Robbus Goblin HD for Genesis 3 Male, Sapphire HD for Victoria 7, ColorWerks Hair Shaders for Iray (Mokie)
Story:
They all stared intently at the dimension vortex. Would she come through? The great creator … the one who could save their world. The fairies had risked all in travelling through the vortex to acquire something the creator would cross worlds to retrieve. They had barely made it back in their allotted time. Eilish hadn’t wanted to steal from her, but GypsyAngel was their last hope.
Had they done the right thing? The Mokie seemed an odd choice. It was lifeless and Eilish could sense no magic in it. The fairies had said GypsyAngel kept it by her side at night, sometimes cradled in her arms. They insisted it was her most treasured possession.

It was supposed to be a test. A quick but tough hike to retrieve the object and back to camp. The first team back got automatic places in the new special unit. It hadn’t gone as planned. As they sped out of the cave Sawyer was beginning to think they’d been set up.
Sawyer: “I think I should drop the bear. It’ll distract them.”
Eibhear: “No way! We need it!.”
Sawyer: “If you hadn’t poked the big one, we’d have got clean away!”
Eibhear: “Come on, Sawyer. It looked like a pile of rags. You’d have done the same.”
Sawyer was pretty sure he wouldn’t. He had keen sense of self preservation.
Sawyer: “What are they? For big guys they’re doing pretty well at keeping up with us.”

The contest closed at Daz Midnight. No new entries. I will set up voting sometime later tonight or tomorrow. :) and let everyone know. Some funny stuff submitted!
Here is the link to the SurveyMonkey voting page. Vote HERE VOTING ENDS SATURDAY AUGUST 10th, midnight Daz time.
What are you voting for? That's up to you. You may like the story behind the render and the render, you may like the artistry used, or you may like the humor. It's up to you to decide what is memorable to you and also did GypsyAngel's products justice.
The way it works- Please vote for 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th places. First place earns 6 points, second earns 4 points, third place earns 2 points, and 4th place earns 1 point.
To be eligible for prizes, participants MUST vote. You will vote first place for yourself.
If you are a participant with multiple entries, ONLY VOTE FOR ONE OF YOURS (1st place) and then chose 2nd, 3rd, and 4th from other people's entries. I will manually allot only 2 points (instead of 4) to the second place choice of multiple entry voters, as it's not fair for them to have to give someone a 4 point edge over their own second render.
The winners are announced and the gift cards on the way. We had several ties. When those happened, both people were awarded that place and the next lower place was eliminated. (So if two people tied for third place, both got third place and the fourth place was eliminated. If there was a dollar discrepancy between the positions, both people were awarded the higher amount.
COPY AND PASTE the gift card codes and don't leave any spaces before or after them. They all work, I tested each one of them. @chohole will send the respective amounts, there were a few changes as I made it simpler and covered one of the places due to the tie. So Chohole, if you'll please read the winning post, it will hopefully be made clear. There was a bump up in prizes due to the tie, so I covered it. You helped out on most of the others as we discussed. Appreciate you SO much!
Here's the winners. Check your PMs for the gift card codes. Now I'm headed to bed, it's 3am and I have to go bring the horses in by 10am (115 heat index in some places tomorrow, average 109-112 everywhere. Another horse owner is getting there at 5:30am and getting the horses fed and out by 6am, then I am bringing them in. Then she's going back out at 6pm and letting them stay out an hour or so. So I gotta get some sleep!)
Congrats to everyone- great renders!
