Wow there are lots of great renders this month. Sorry I haven't been able to add an entry, life has been busy for me.

Likewise, and I didn't even come up with an idea until I noticed a new(ish) freebie last night. Will I have time to find enough freebies and put a render together? The search begins... after work today.

I find coming up with the idea can be the hardest part.

Hope to see an entry from both of you.

Oopsie - I've realized that the idea I came up with (a) doesn't have anything to do with summer, and (b) would work better as a Challenge theme of its own. Back to square one for this Challenge, but I can pinch-hit a month on a moment's notice after September if needed.

Hi everyone. * tosses pies at everyone*. Sorry I haven't been in all month. First of month was crazy busy as always and then I had to have some more surgery. Been one heck of a month but I think I'm finally getting better. Got sick too. Sure some great renders this month everyone. Missed the mini contests, darn. I like bag the hag. Hey music... *SPLAT*. I'll be in again before end of month
See ya soon

NAE
This render would be just perfect for this contest, except for the fact that I posted it to my DeviantArt page back in March.
Since the contest rules requires new renders and not reused ones, this will have to be a NAE.

So this is a...
Contractual obligation swimsuit picture.

In most TV shows and almost all anime, each series will have either a pool scene or a beach show.
This is to get the girls of the show into swimwear for fan service.
Here the girls of Team Kimba do their part while on vacation.

This is another render in a series I'm doing on Whateley Academy.

Convincing lighting. It's summer, all right! I'm not sure about the fun part, though. I never considered it fun to lay in the sun baking. Maybe that's because I'd burn to a crisp and get these huge 1.5" blisters all over my back and arms. There's also no splashing, no bouncing that ball off anyone...one of them is glued to her laptop! Unless something is about to happen there, that guy in the pool is looking on like he expects something to happen. :)

I'd say it's more likely he's simply oggling the hot red-head (as well as the other girls).

Well Hank and Jade are trying to get the girls into the pool, as for Ayla, she's the group's "money maid" so she always has her laptop with her.

Thanks to Music giving me a freebie out of the blue, I finally came up with a render idea. Thanks, Music!

I've been concentrating on the "summer fun" every year and haven't managed to get even an HM. This time, I'm focusing on the "pinup" part. No paid items (well, I got them all for free legally), and each freebie comes from a different site.

I so hope I am not too late to enter this contest! I've been working on this picture for weeks, and the last 3 days have been long ones... I don't know how others ever manage to get pictures done in time for contests, I must be really sloooow. So sorry to be so late entering! I can't seem to stop tweaking and re-rendering, so I am just going to force myself to go ahead and post this while I still can, and whatever happens, it's a relief to get it finished! Now at least, I've tried, and that's all I can do :) Please let me know if there's any problems with this, I'll be watching thread carefully off and on today in case I need to fix anything. Thanks so much for this great contest! -Cathy

I so hope I am not too late to enter this contest! I've been working on this picture for weeks, and the last 3 days have been long ones... I don't know how others ever manage to get pictures done in time for contests, I must be really sloooow. So sorry to be so late entering! I can't seem to stop tweaking and re-rendering, so I am just going to force myself to go ahead and post this while I still can, and whatever happens, it's a relief to get it finished! Now at least, I've tried, and that's all I can do :) Please let me know if there's any problems with this, I'll be watching thread carefully off and on today in case I need to fix anything. Thanks so much for this great contest! -Cathy

Nice job! Looks to be mid afternoon. Everybody is having fun, except maybe the lifeguard, who looks a bit concerned.

Ok Rob and Cathy I have checked your links and they are good. Music of coarse has the last say but I am pretty sure he will accept both. So in this case I have added both of the entries to the contest area. The GALLERY is updated.

Some fun sites from you two. Rob, a very nice render indeed. A pin-up if I ever saw one. Cathy, I think you captured a moment that all of us have experienced either at the beach or at the public pool. I can see lots of work in this render.

Well we are getting close to the end of the month. I have things ready for next month. Later this evening I will be posting the July contest thread.

A nice crop of renders, so I wish each of you good luck. Music and his jolly judges well have their work cut out for them.

A reminder:
A note to all of our winners, you must PM Jaderail that you have won and what place you are in. If you are the 1st 2nd or 3rd place winners, you must PM me with your DAZ account e-mail address so that DAZ can credit your account. For the PA and vendor prizes, PM Music for instructions.

I will be checking in periodically for any new entries so don't worry, your render will be counted when it qualifies.

CathyM

Thanks Dana! Thanks Dollygirl! I am hoping the picture passes Music's verdict - fingers crossed :) Great renders this month and one of my favorite themes - I just really love summertime! -Cathy

Thanks to Music giving me a freebie out of the blue, I finally came up with a render idea. Thanks, Music!

I've been concentrating on the "summer fun" every year and haven't managed to get even an HM. This time, I'm focusing on the "pinup" part. No paid items (well, I got them all for free legally), and each freebie comes from a different site.

lighting
(own work - a distant light above at 115% with shadows on, and a distant light in front at 65% without shadows)

WOW!...This is great. The lighting is superb and her tan is so real looking. Each year I give the rock to someone at random, this time it really paid off. Everything about this entry is so "pinup and summer fun". I agree with Dana on the freebie site selection. Not your standard "oh lets just go on over to Sharecg and download a bunch of stuff and throw it into a render!" This took a lot of thinking and work to assemble. The old airplane is a great addition too. Fine job Robkelk.

You got a rock from Music? Wow! It must be Halloween!

Warning: This may be too obscure a reference to those people who didn't grow up in the U.S. Sorry...but I couldn't resist.

Either that or he must be Charlie Brown!

Really nice entry Cathy! Lots of work here and well worth it. The sky looks so perfect for the day. The lifeguard is doing his thing while the little girl with the ice cream cone looks like she is about to unload that squirt gun on him...lol. Tons of free stuff here. Thanks for entering it for us to all enjoy. Good job!

OK...THAT'S IT!

I want to thank everyone who entered this year. It has been a lot of fun. Love seeing some newbies and of course all the oldbies that do this with me each year. I want to give a very special thanks to Lord Ganthor for letting us all have some fun with "Louie". That was just too much fun...lol. As of today I have 75 Louie renders in a folder in my archives. I will be putting them in a time continum space capsule and launching them into space for the aliens to find. Ten milliniums down the road, Earth will get a message from them that simply says..."Send More Louie!"...HAHAHAHAHAHA.

All entries have been sealed now and I must go do the deed of sorting and picking some winners. It won't be easy. Once I announce them, I will need to send your Daz names to the vendors who have so graciously donated picks from their stores.

I WILL NEED EACH OF THE THREE WINNERS TO PM ME SO WE CAN GET YOU YOUR VENDOR PRIZES. THEY WILL GO AS FOLLOWS:

1ST PLACE - PICK OF ONE ITEM FROM STONEMASONS STORE HERE AT DAZ. PM ME WITH THE PICK AND I WILL GET STONEMASON TO HAVE KEVIN CREDIT YOU WITH THE ITEM.

ALSO THORNE HAS OFFERED HER V4 PABU CHARACTER FOR YOU. I WILL SEND HER YOUR NAME AND SHE WILL CONTACT YOU WITH YOUR PRIZE.

2ND PLACE - A PICK OF ONE ITEM OR BUNDLE FROM APRILYSH STORE HERE AT DAZ. (MUST BE AN APRILYSH ITEM, NO COLLABS). PM ME WITH YOUR PICK AND I WILL GET APRILYSH TO PM YOU WITH A WAY FOR YOU TO GET IT.

ALSO YOU GET ONE PICK FROM "AGE OF ARMOUR" STORE HERE AT DAZ. GO PICK THE ITEM AND PM ME WITH YOUR PICK AND I WILL SEE THAT YOU GET IT.

3RD PLACE - SCULPTED REALITY CHARACTER "EMMA" FOR GEN2 FEMALE FROM MOSTDIGITALCREATIONS.COM. I WILL SEND THEM YOUR NAME AND THEY WILL CONTACT YOU WITH A LINK TO YOUR PRIZE.

I WILL ALSO BE SENDING OUT MY DONATIONS TO ALL 5 WINNERS, SO KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR THESE PRIZES AS WELL.

YOU KNOW TO GET WITH DOLLYGIRL TO COLLECT YOUR GC PRIZES FROM DAZ AND JADERAIL.

Once again thanks everyone for playing this year. I will be taking a very long vacation from here as Dollygirl now runs the challenge each month. I will be back in October to host the annual "Monster Mash Halloween Bash". I will be peeking in from time to time though.

If anyone needs me for any reason, just PM me and I will answer asap.

:-)
