Tick tick tick.....
MINI-CONTEST ENTRY
Well, it was SUPPOSED to be, but my render engine blew a gasket, There was steam and oil all over the place. Had to walk 10 miles in the snow to get the replacement part.
Actually, I ran, but the dealer is a really old codger and he's hard of hearing. He thought I wanted to buy an "asswipe". I told him, "No, no, a GASKET, and hurry up about it!"
Then he gave a big sob story about his dodgy hearing aid and I ended up helping him fix that too. It just took too long.
No worries, I shall try to try again later once the mess is cleaned up. Good thing I got a new asswipe. Meanwhile ...

Hat it when that happens... Sorry bout your luck Dorsey.... Did someone say snow??? We have about an inch of ice on the ground and now it's starting to snow....
SNOWBALL FIGHT!!!!?!??!?!!!
But but but you're supposed to LOVE the Winter Wonderland! It sounds like you're complaining!
Give me a little time with the snowballs. I'm trying to animate a bunch of them using one of Casual's scripts, but I need to take a course in physics first. I should be ready for a snowball fight by April at the latest.
Ducks behind snowmen to avoid snowball barrage from jeeperz.
I DO love the snow, but an inch of ice under it..... Not so much. Got my grandson and daughter suppose to come out today with her hubby coming after work for a trip to get our tree in the woods tommorow, just hoping he can get out to our place tonight cause it's not getting above freezing today. We have 4wheel drive and studded tires so we are good to go get them.
Tosses several snowball into the thread to see what happens
OUCH!
Not much of a fight so far.
Too bad you missed it. Cute.

My entry for the main contest
The Prince and the Pea
Seriously, you don't think I am a Prince?
You see Hans had it all wrong. I told him it was me but he didn't listen very well. Truly though, I was the one tested and not my princess. Oh and it wasn't a bed but a pile of pillows.

Main Contest Entry:
FROSTY THE SNOWMAN: HIS FINAL DAYS
With a hit song, greeting cards, toys, games, a much loved TV. Holiday special and countless personal appearances, Frosty the Snowman was riding high on fame and loved by countless millions around the world. Unknown to the public at large, Frosty had a deeper, darker side. An unfortunate and messy scandal involving the Snow "Queen" and several of Santa's elves made tabloid headlines internationally and was fodder for industry wags and gossip show for months. His fans, at odds with the shortcomings of their beloved star and his wholesome image began deserting him in droves for a new and upcoming Christmas icon that appeared on the horizon. Sponsors turned their backs and entertainment bookings vanished overnight. Frosty's life became one of total, dark despair. With fame and fortune behind him, Frosty became a hopeless alcoholic, spending his last days amid the dingy back alleyways of Anaheim, California, slowly wasting away in a muscatel tainted puddle of slush, forever dreaming of a glorious comeback. Upon his final demise the notices were small and few, if any, cared. Thus ended the life and career of another forgotten star, a victim of the Holiday Spirit that glows brightly in the hearts of man.

Poor Frosty! Nice LG
It's enough to make a grown man cry.
Ganthor's spelling, I mean.
I have never been good at spelling...I will never be good at spelling. I draw pictures...I'm an artist, dammit, not a speller...
I sort of wondered why when I did a cut and paste from word pad to the forum reply why it didn't correct my spelling. I'll get on that...
Okay, the intro has been spell-checked and updated. Must be dis cold I'm fightin'...
What a sad story. Very imaginative, as usual, and good work!
Dana
HEY, JUST KIDDIN', GANTMAN!
When you can do art like that, you can spell words any way you want.
I kinda liked the mis-spelling. Gave the piece character.
Ok. I will try the 1 hour challenge. Never done anything like this before.
So the clock will start ticking for me NOW.
My only critique is that Frosty had a button for a nose, not a carrot.
Wow, I did it! Under an hour.
Nothing special but here it is.
Title: Building a Snow Man
I used the free snow man from rdna,
Wilmap's winter outfit and some pants and boots I had in my content,
Morphing Snow pile
Daz Millenium environment winter
...as if I'm not enough of a character as it is...
My only critique is that Frosty had a button for a nose, not a carrot.
Using the Genesee Beer texture was pure happenstance...sort of. I was born in Rochester, moved way south when I was young and when returned for visits I always remembered the signs all over the place for some reason. I guess because I was living in a dry county which didn't allow beer advertising all over town. Just a passing nod to my roots, I guess.
While the song may make note of his "button nose" other graphic interpretations give him the more traditional carrot. This particular character had the carrot and it was just too difficult to pull it out and replace it in Bryce. Besides, I'm not sure how the rules would cover rearranging parts of a model and if that would violate said use. In other words, I'm just lazy.
Very well done! Better than I could do in under an hour...I know, 'cause I've tried. I can't do anything in under an hour, including getting dressed to go to work.
Real nice Selias.
:-)
There you go talking about me again...you weren't apost to tell!
:-)
I was wondering where this skeleton came from...now I know!
