I thought Lonnie was the host/boss of this month's contest.
Music has final say on the contest rules, but isn't Lonnie the host?
.
Just for the record, I'm a guy, balding with a pot belly and sideburns.
she is the host this month, but the ETO's are here to help out and answer questions every month. We host too, and THROW PIES as needed.
The render qualifies Jester. Like the story going on and your abilities of creating a story from your renders is improving with each submital. Nice job.
Lonnie
On first reading, I read that as "... improving with each subliminal."
But we would never use subliminals here... (make a render with Aiko 3!) Would we?
Great stuff everybody! Some really nice renders and some full page work that really shows a good grasp of the comic style.
This is a NAE from me. I'm still goofing around with lighting and shadows and stuff. Balloon placement (done in Photoshop) is the biggest pain in the rump compared to old school. Honestly? I had an easier time drawing comics than doing it this way...but that's just me. I started out back in the stone age...
Ah, LG, methinks thou dost protest e'er much. Or something. Your usual high quality is showing through despite your claims to the contrary. May as well fess up. You cannot put out a bad piece of work. :-)
I gotta work on doing something really bad one of these days...
I guess why I don't particularly care for the cartoon rendered stuff is because of the way it handles shadows. Or maybe it's because of how it looks against the original. I really like the original, one of the few Studio only renders I've done that I really like...although the way it handles lighting (as compared to Bryce) is a little clumsy (or maybe just different) to me. Poser lighting used to drive me nuts and Studio is a bit of an improvement, but I feel I have a better mastery of Bryce overall. Here's the original render to show you what I mean. I may go back and re-do it in Bryce for no other reason than because I can.
I found some toon shaders for Bryce. Do you have them? They are Bryce5 presets. Kind of cool I have been playing with them in 7. Not getting very far with getting a toon render out of it. My DAZ to Bryce link is not working and so I am rethinking what I am goint to do for a scene. And you my friend do not have the heart to do a bad one. It is not in your nature or your make up. It just won't happen. Cause you have been saying that for the last 6 months and nada, zip, nothing. So accept that your karma is such that you will always want to do good renders and will. Be happy!

My bad! I just checked and it's Dollygirl who is the host.
Like I said, if she wants me to change them out, it's not a problem.
Created with DAZ Studio 3 and Comic Life 2. Not sure if the rules have been broken, but as for the required freebie from Most Digital Creations, my butt is covered.
The plan was to have only the Adam Thwaites freebies that are permanently available, but several of his short-term "Surprise Gifts" sneaked in. (I have so many that I could do several entries using only them.)
Dorseyland, what a hoot! I love it. There is no miss step on your part. I think you have even beaten assassin_21 on the number of freebies used. So what did you think of Comic Life? Fun isn't it.

Your render qualifies, Check your PMs.
Lonnie
hehehehe, close but I think assassin has a record of something like 90 something in one render, but I got a big laugh too out of this one

Oh what a waste of a chocloate pie. Reminds me of my Grandmother's. Yummm!
Was you referring to me ???? Music is the Boss, I am only part of the team as far as this challenge is concerned. I wear all sorts of different hats. Sometimes I get muddled up and forget which one I am wearing at what time :red:
Well I went back and looked at the rules. Music is silent on content that is provided by a software package. I personally think that it should be eligible. It is content that came with a free version of DAZ. Now the Poser content I am not so sure about. I have Debut and it came with 2 or 3 Gig of content. I got Debut free last Dec. I bought PoserPro2010 and got some additional content Debut did not have. So for the Debut content my take is it is a no count. No link but I didn't pay for it. The stuff that came with Poser Pro I would count as paid for because I paid for the software that it came with even though renders with Poser are allowed.
So does that stuff count or not? After reading all the posts I am lost.
that would be a NO, it counts under the misc items that don't count

Good to go Jester. If you keep telling the story you will have a graphic novel and do we get invited to the signing party?
