    Well, we don't know yet. I have two more renders to figure that out. I guess it will depend on what I draw! Letting the king get swiped by a dragon sets him up for some trouble, though, don't you think? Unless, of course, he was an unpopular king. We'll have to see what the gods of random have in store for poor Muck. I haven't done my next draw yet.

    You know, I had a totally different vision of that scene. It looked like the king was jump kicking the dragon and Muck was comforting the princess. "There, there, sweetie. I know it's your favorite dragon, but it went after the king's horse, and you know how he is."

    But now that you've said that, I see the dragon is holding him. That actually makes a lot more sense :D

    |:| By Day By Night |:|

    By day and by night at each sunrise and sunset,
    cursed by the yin yang nature of duality,
    doomed to lifelong unknowing of the other's existence,
    the Mage transforms between the light and the dark.

    By day living as the Light Mage with Form,
    sharing her experiences with her companion the Unicorn.
    By night living as the Dark Mage with Chaos,
    sharing her experiences with her companion the Bone Dragon.

    Only come upon the time of discovery
    can the curse ever be broken.
    For only at that time can choice be made,
    and that life shall live the Mage evermore.

    Draw #1 Items:
    Enamore Mage
    The Bone Dragon
    Onyx for Genesis
    Mil Horse Unicorn Poses 1

    Other items:
    Alchemy II
    M4 Skeleton
    Blade Angel Wings
    Diamond Hair
    AoA metalized glass shaders
    ProjectEden skin texture
    freebie noir shaders
    freebie draped hood
    freebie face in lace
    freebie unicorn horn

    I was really hoping to come up with something funny, but I had to settle on this idea.

    Luci45-- you were not kidding when you said that monster rat was hideous. That thing is terrifying! I love the octopus though. For some reason, that really struck me.

    Ok, so Draw #4:
    Carryover: Crazy Nights (*cough* again)
    648 - The Freak 4 Rules (Poses)
    56 - AssasSIN
    594 - SnowWhite Hair

    Title: “I'll wear it, I just... I wish you'd put on some pants...”

    So my secret goal of this whole thing is to have Jepe's Madoc in every scene with the same expression on his face and naked. I don't know why.

    Actually, yes I do. >:)

    I also considered naming both this one and the last one, "Too much starch."

    Full Credits:
    Crazy Nights by black-eye and boundless (DAZ)
    V4 of my own (dialed and textured)
    wearing AssasSIN by Pretty3D (DAZ)
    with SnowWhite Hair by Valea (DAZ)
    Madoc from Jepe’s Double Feature Leo and Madoc by Jepe (DAZ)
    with MoHair for Michael 4 by EvilInnocence (DNA)
    Couple Pose from The Freak 4 Rules by Muscleman & Daz3D (DAZ)

    KaribousBoutique - beautiful render with Vue - the lighting is so nice. When I see a render like this I start thinking again about trying to learn Vue, and then I think about all the exporting and importing and tweaking and decide once more to forget about it. I see the little pink top on elf sister on the right, so I assume she will fall victim to the quick head shrink. ( "Bald Wizard’s Dark Side?" Membership requires rendering a bald-headed wizard, maybe a shrunken bald head for the dark side.)

    barbult #2- So Muck is out of the slammer? And with his bride, Mavka. I'm waiting for the next installment.
    #3 Oooh, I love this one, especially the king! Great action. Poor Muck, but maybe his little wife should have stayed home.

    ChangelingChick - Welcome!!! Some fun renders, with a grinning naked guy with a red mohawk! Great!
    #1 - I love it! Very silly!
    #2 I'm glad to see that this will be a "coherent story." Hilarious.
    #3 More subdued, but very expressive. OMG, I didn't see the Peeping Tom until I read barbult's comment. :cheese:
    #4 Definitely some well-starched clothes. Naked Madoc in every picture? A good idea.
    Sasje #5 - Another beautiful render! Great light and colors!
    Zawarkal - Great mood! I love the white aura around the figures, the white glowing symbols and the subtle red glow on the night figures. Perfect with your poem.

    My last pull:
    La Piazza Realistic Mediterranean Town
    Keevan Hair
    Fantasy Instruments
    Eathern Treasures for MFD (chained from 3 and 4)

    I really am enjoying the stories. I wish now that I had done one.

    And now, for my "Last Hurrah" (a.k.a., Pull #5)

    1436 - Parkside High Recess
    655 - Faces of Teens
    1297 - Morning Hair

    "Chain" item from Pull #4:
    Summer Time poses

    Hmm, there's a Detroit joke in there somewhere -- and I think I may have just found it!

    Man, this one was another "shrieking beast"! Once again, it brought DAZ Studio to its knees -- and then some! (And I have the souvenir crash dump to prove it!) I had to remove one character, and his clothes, because I simply could not get rid of the hyper-specular aspect (it was Goth as Fashion for M3, by the way -- the shirt, to be specific).

    I finally decided to quit tempting fate, and just submit the damned thing.

    Also used:
    Young Teens 5 (Multiple Instances)
    Teen Angst Poses and Expressions
    Emilie and Edward Odd (Emilie, actually....)
    Odd Wear
    Pure Hair Sassy
    Pure Hair Messy
    Dark Moods for Genesis
    Preppie for Genesis
    Mall Girl for Genesis
    Aldora Hair
    Duke Hair
    Victoria 4
    Urban Shabby Chic for V4
    DeRoca Hair for V4
    Interiors: The Classroom (Assorted props)

    TAG: obanion#05

    Title: When Worlds Collide

    Despite their years attending Bensonhurst Preparatory Academy, Justin and Julie were not at all "prepared" for their first day at "PS 666" - a.k.a., Lamar Consolidated High School

    (BTW, there actually is a 'Lamar Consolidated High School', in Rosenberg, Texas, and was the alma mater of a girl I "dated" back in high school. It shouldn't take any great leap of intuition to conclude that the "relationship" did not end well!)

    Um, "'Not I,' said the pig." I offered to roll for Totte once, in a previous RRRR, and he ended up with one seriously god-awful mess - for which he justifiably blamed me. (Which, to his everlasting credit, he turned into the most amazingly quirky piece of work I've ever seen!)

    But I learned that lesson the hard way!

    I've got Vehicle Storm, Cool and Squaresville, Occultis Solaris and Stan The Man
    Something quite manly, in all results, I think.

    Thanks for your comments, Luci45.

    No, Muck's story ends with him behind bars. After my first render, I decided to stick with Muck and jump back in time to tell how he ended up behind bars. I guess that wasn't clear. I now intend for my story to jump from the end (render #1) to the beginning (render #2) and progress to tell how he ended up behind bars (render 3,4,5). Clear as mud?? or Muck??

    I can t believe I ve finished one after missing out on the last rounds.
    I see everyone is turning out funny and colorful renders.

    The draw was
    006 3D Bison
    406 Fantasy Camp
    630 Leviathan
    998 Queen Anne Parlor Furniture Part 2

    Also using Vintage Boy, K4, Jael Hair Holiday Nook, Fantasy Book, Varisel M4, African Explorer, K4 Safari, Ancient Book, Dream Village Rowboat, Ron s Fog, Rain, Waves, Birds

    (edited to fix my Playhouse 90...leaving handles showing in render)

    TAG: gopherus #01

    Title: Tales of von Münchhausen

    Do You want to hear how I rode a bison bareback across the sand hills of Nebraska? No. I bet you want to hear how I crossed the Atlantic on a Nantucket boat ride by snagging a whale with my hand carved Heddon Frog Lure. Of course it was just a small whale and I eventually let it go.

    Oh, good grief. Next pull:

    6705 War of Dragons DAZ
    6074 The Library DAZ
    392 Archard's Ossuary DAZ

    I won't even bother picking one thing to use from my last render in this one. It'll probably be just about everything. Again. Warring dragons, a library, and an ossuary. Well, at least the ossuary fits the shrunken head/skeletal remains theme. It should be entertaining. I think this time, I'll model something in Mudbox as my "new software with each render" self-challenge... Now, what to do with the library...?

    I did, indeed, "chain" more than one item from past renders -- Kaly for V4, A3 Saggitarian, and the Shrunken head. I also used Mudbox (as my own personal challenge) and modeled the puffball voodoo doll, which was kind-of cheating, because Mudbox provides a biped model that you can start off with, so the arms/legs were pretty much already there!! Still, I met my mini-challenge, lol.

    Title: A Cool Head for Revenge

    Shortly after the carnage...
    Kaly knew she could not let the Puffball Tribe's assault go unanswered. Her Sister's sacrifice at the hands of those vicious little barbarians would be avenged. Her hours of research were starting to coalesce into a plan... the Puffball's natural predator was the ForkHorn Dragon. Kaly's cool-headed determination did not preclude finding a hot-headed exterminator.

    5438 Shroom Castle DAZ
    5717 Strange Place RO

    Will be continuing the saga, so I'm sure I'll use LOTS of previous pulls.
    Self challenge for me? Carrara, I think. Maybe DS to Carrara, depending on how Carrara handles some of the content. Haven't used Carrara since 7Pro came out...

    Welcome, EinieMeanie! Nice render! Not too appetizing though, but I guess piggy-girl felt otherwise.

    55 "Alcazar del Pantano" (which is a texture for Castillo del Diablo)

    The sector wars were especially difficult on the little ones. Many had lost their families, their homes, and friends. Few had ever been off of their homeworld. As a treat, two of the young refugees are escorted to an observation point at the transfer station for a view they could only have dreamed of seeing.

    Thanks, barbult! Yes, it was really daunting last time to sort through all those in order to vote and not be able to vote for all the many good ones.

    (Maybe I'll do one more just for fun.)
