Um, Jaderail, I would humbly submit that Totte was not the first to catch on to the fact that a sunny day is 'weather'; he was just the first to have the stones to think he could pull it off! (Not to mention, get away with it!)
And my mini-entry.

What a lot of busy people since my last look - it's taken me ages to catch up!
Of the entries for the main contest:
Sasje "Do not touch" - nice one, I love the way you've used Eternity as a step-stool for the naughty kid!
"Which of the two?" - love the little boy's "innocent" body language! Nice lighting too
"Search for something" - not sure I'd want to hang out in a back alley in that outfit!
carola.ottosson "One's Trash is anothers Treasure" - this one has a lovely warm ambience
"Overgrowth" - I love the colours and brightness of the wreck against the darkness of tbe trees
Luci45 "You really think I'm gonna wear these boots?" - funny! They do look a bit big (and OTT)
"Outta the bed, litle dude..." - ooh, I like it! But quite a different style for you?
KaribousBoutique "Angel's Touch" - worth the struggle, I'd say - lovely atmosphere
Ken OBanion "What Happens in Vegas..." - not sure how you did it, but those multiple rooms sets glue together surprisingly well
Dorseyland "Almost Done" - very nicely done, but I think I'd eat somewhere else!
jgugliuzza "Watering my Plot" - clever idea and nicely done, I like the mini-cloud
Sisca "Tea Break" - nice render, good lighting
SGCBearcub "A Girl and her pet" - what a pet! Nice atmosphere
"All Else Changes - We Remain" - interesting image - what a difference lighting makes
hawkonthewing "Will of the Gods" - lovely sunny ambience
And of the Mini-Contest entries:
Luci45 "Rain Forest" - nice render, I think the rain turned out well
Dorseyland "Laughing Into the Wind" - weird image, and mist
Zawarkal "When The Wind Blows..." - interesting POV and that branch holds up to a closeup really well
Totte "Drop the gun or the squirrel drowns" - weird idea, but nicely lit and the pouring rain looks good
"... and this is Homo Erectus ..." - what a cheeky one! Fun idea and brave interpretation of "weather"
KaribousBoutique "Any Port in A Storm" - a truly odd idea and very well done
carola.ottosson "Shelter From the Rain" - goodness, that's a lot of rain! Shelter really needed there
hawkonthewing "Bright Idea" - lovely image, and nice effects
Ken OBanion "Abort! Abort! Abort!" - funny! Is that really your first Mini-entry? I'm surprised you're not up to one a day!
I see a couple of "new" names here - this Contest really seems to be pulling people in.
Maybe one day I'll actually manage to keep up with this thread!
Thank you MelanieL :)

Title: “wrong turn”
Thanks for the vote of confidence, but I had a few 'issues' over the past week that took me "off-line" for a while. (The occasion of my birthday always sends me into a major depression, and it took a few days for me to pull out of it. That's right, I have mental-health issues. Explains rather a lot, doesn't it? )
Okay, here's some that have captured my fancy. As always I appreciate and deeply respect all the work that goes into this, so terrific work all, but these are some contenders for my nod come voting time:
Carola#1 - Velvety Lions
I like the composition and video game feel of this. There must be a alpha boss lioness right around the corner!
obanion#02 - Have Yourself a Merry Little Beltane…
Terrific how the colors pop against the monochromatic palette. Great use of color!
Tag:luci45#! - Witness Protection - Love the WTF poses and expressions on thier faces! TOtally cool. And as always your im'peck'able attention to detail. Love it.
Sasje#01 - “Some Business “
I like the story in the picture as well as the camera angle - a nice feel of dreamy and sci-fi in the render. Good job!
Warmblood#1 - Intruder Alert!
Damn, buddy, you are just getting too good. Lovely, whimisical, and really like the sepia-ish color approach. Pixar should be scouting you.
bluemoon#01 - Confiscated
I like you who perfectly blend the non-sequitur in this all with that terrific purple. Inventive and fun for sure.
Dorseyland#01 - A Little East of the Wild West
Okay, already my pick for funniest - made me crack a huge smile when I saw this. Fun, fun, fun, spreading the whimsy joy Warmblood started. Great render!
Carola#5 - One’s Trash is anothers Treasure
Wow... vived, richly detailed. Lot of craft and hard work on this one. Really lovely render.
KaribousBoutique#1 - Angel’s Touch
Great juse of light against the dark. Something even Marilyn Monroe-ish about that angel. I really like it even it's not your favorite child ;)
Okay folks... little more than 32 hours left for the RRRR Mini Contest #1. I'm very happy so far, and thank you all who have played. The Prize is now a $25 GC and as pointed out a sunny day is allowed. If you have not played please try, if you have then get that second one in. May the Gods of Random smile on you.
Wow, you really put the effort into this don't you! I'm impressed.

Title: Failed Negotiations
Donald knew before he even started that negotiations with the Island of Misfit Toys was not going to go well...
FYI, I used a combination of Muirienne and Eve in texture/morph, though that isn't inherently obvious. :/ Also used: Havoc (Sanctum Arts), Fawne (Orion1167)
Rendered in Poser Pro 2014, postwork in Photoshop CS6
I can't seem to find funny. Gah!
TAG: KaribousBoutique Minicontest #2
Title: From The Gloom
She knew she was probably the last defender of her village. It didn't matter. Before she fell, she would make the demons pay for their slaughter with blood.
I finally summoned the wherewithal to get this one finished. I'm not too thrilled with the lighting (which only proves that I still have a lot to learn on that subject), but for what it's worth.
I figure I'll make it up in volume! (...and still no smileys!)
Also used:
Mini Bar (an old DAZ freebie from back in the day....)
Japonism
Sushi Time Two (because One just wasn't enough!)
Avery's Funnies, MilBaby T-shirt texture (a ShareCG freebie)

MFD for Victoria 4
Elegance for V4 MFD

TAG: obanion#07
Title: A Gilded Cage... Is Still a Cage
The Regent had made sure that she had everything for her comfort.... But nothing could hide or change the fact that she was a prisoner here.
Frankly, that last one was pretty lame, so I'm going to give it another go. (Actually, I'm going to give it another go because I want to; the lameness of my last entry has absolutely nothing to do with it!)
So here we go, with Pull #8:
212 - Bridal Dress Design Kit for SP
244 - Capsces Poses for V5
148 - Back Alley Pack
2212 - World Class Lovely
The LB Pull:
1086 - Lisa's Botanicals - Ivy Textures for Vines
And the OA Pull:
381 - Danielle Bedroom
I guess the Gods of Random figure I haven't suffered enough.... (And don't tell me I need to sacrifice more virgins, Totte! I'm in Texas; where would I find any!?)
TAG:MelanieL_Mini1_#2
Title: Riders on the Storm
Used:
Flames Tool - two occurrences, large in the bushes and small at the lightning strike
Smoke Tool - single use above the flames in the bushes
Also Used:
David - Dean for D5 skin texture, Pure Hair Sleek, Elven Warrior clothing and boots (retextured with MachPack shaders)
Vicky - Tori for V5 texture, Pure Hair Wild, Royal Elf boots (retextured with MachPack shaders)
Millennium Horses - David's with MilHorse Bundle Dapple texture, Vicky's with DreamWeaver (freebie) Dun texture
Horse and Rider Poses adapted from Rider Poses for DAZ Horse 2
Lisa's Botanicals Dead Bushes and Creepy Trees
Worldbase XT Desertlands Pack
Postwork in Photoshop Elements 9 (only to add lightning bolts and reduce file size for forum posting)
Just another look-see at the main contest entries:
Sasje "Wrong Turn" - another nicely done render, I think it fits together well
Ken OBanion "A Gilden Cage... Is Still a Cage" - mmm, that was an interesting pull, but hey, you made something of it! (hope your next selection appeals to you more ... oops, just read your post about your next pull!)
And the Mini's:
bohemian3 "Heated Interrogation - striking lighting, really gives a feel of the heat
emsim "Failed Negotiations" - ooh, they look scary!
KaribousBoutique "From The Gloom" - there's plenty of funny around, that's a nice bit of drama instead
Well, as Totte once said, "Anything worth doing, is worth over-doing!"
And then there are my own two mottos: 1) Nothing in moderation; and 2) Let 'em know you're going for something!
Taken together, it's pretty much a recipe for excess! (Damn! Still no Smileys!)
Made it in time, phew.

It was not the darkness that frightened Marjorie, it was the thought of what might be hiding within.
RRRR Mini Contest #1 Now Closed. I wish everyone LUCK.
Wow, so many great ones. Will need to make a run through, but no time today.
Thanks for you comments Melanie.
Off for a lunch and tour at the newly opened ABBA museum here in Stockholm. Might get some RRRR inspiration from that, still struggling with my #2 pull.
Next pull. I think the other pulls I've done have been from my DAZ inventory only. I'm using ALL my content this time. Don't know why that happened. Anyway...

Nifty. Contemporary furniture, steampunk dirigible-like flyer, and scifi skimpware. Maybe this will bring The Funny back...
Birdland
Tag:luci45#5
