Well, I don't think I have enough time to try another, so that's it from me this time. Just time for a quick run through recent postings:
@diomede64 #3 - mmm, someone complaining? Actually I'm with gopherus on investigating alternatives - or doesn't his library have a telephone directory either?
#4 - great idea, and interesting reflections there. What a blast from the past having to dig out M1/V1!
#5 - not known at this address? That vegetation has come out really nicely - poses too.
And thanks for your comments on mine, gopherus and emsim.
Thanks, gopherus, MelanieL., diomede64, emsim Yes I got in all nine somehow, in spite of catching Iray-itis. I got a new computer last week with a monster NVidia card and am having lots of fun (and some frustration.)
LOL, MelanieL, four in one week! I understand getting diverted. Glad you are back!
MelanieL#1 Too bad the Uncle Morts of the world can't just stay home.
MelanieL#2 Hehe, I love this one! Great use of the pull. I love the lighting and David's pose and expression.
MelanieL#3 Oh, poor Mike. What a high price to pay! Blood may be harder to clean up than mud.
MelanieL#4 LOL, doesn't look like she(?) can get those legs in those pantyhose! Great use of the pull!
Gopherus #7 I love the costumes! Another fun and funny piece.
Gopherus #8 Bungalow Bill, haha! The picture and the little poem really made me laugh, several times.
emsim #2 Nice render! Very cool story twist you made for the upside down book.
Karibou Pull #1 Wonderful! I love the contrast between the soft pastel bedroom stuff and that closet.
Diomede #3 Ah, the things we dream up to do with our strange pulls. Nice one!
Diomede #4 Oooh, very strange. Getting sucked into the mirror/crystals?
Diomede Pull #5 Alice is back again! And all grown up. Some fun stuff going on here! I love the witch and the hatter.
Thank you Luci.
I got my 3rd one done - will post it after this - but I definitely won't be able to do a 4th.
diomede #5: I think the witch made a wrong turn at Albuquerque! Love the detail in this one!
MelanieL #4: This is a fun one but it makes me glad I didn't go into retail as my career. I love that you made a series of images to tell the story and the poses are perfect!
Also used: Juggling Act, Classic Rolled Hair, Gwen for Victoria 4 and Genesis, Carrara Skies Lightdomes 1 and I used carrara shaders on the trombone.

Title: Joan Trombone and Her All Crow Chorus
Joan dreamed of the day that she would be able to perform inside the Paragon but in the meantime she and her birds would have to settle for its sidewalk.
Thanks Diomede64, Emsim, Luci45 for your comments!
@Diomede #4 Nice crystal effects! Dungeon and Dragons is making a comeback!
#5 Lol! I always thought that those evil witches were rather near sighted. Good one!
@MelanieL #4 ROFL! I can understand that someone so hard to fit will have to try on everything before leaving the store. Well done!
@Emsim #3 What a great act! I wonder what her repertoire entails.... Blackbird?... Crazy Man Michael?
And i can see the theater requiring little crow diapers before letting the birds inside. Nice one!
Pull #9
Victoria s Changing Fanasy Suit
Boy! I Feel Like a Lady for Coure Di Moda
Parkside High Lobby
Curious Bus Stop
Gopherus #9
A Greek Tragedy
Aiko was shocked. Principal Cuore had taken over the drama clubs production of Bus Stop. She had Mark in a ... a dress. She had made the entire play into a Greek Tragedy!
Haha, you two are just getting in under the wire! I wonder where Karibous is. That's usually her thing.
emsim I love the crow act!
gopherus Awesome as always! The kids in the back are riot with those poses, especially Mark. I usually don't like Aiko but you always get her to be very expressive. Congrats on #9!
Thanks, all, for the kind words! (For the record, my daughter's closet occasionally looks that way...)
TAG: Karibou Pull #2
Title: Divine Intervention
Everyone was tired of watching Rocky, the animated angel statue, get drunk and pass out at tea time. It was time for an intervention.
So many great renders while I've been busy out of the loop. Contest closed, preparing for voting.
Thanks Luci for your comments. Just got it in in time
@Karibou #2 Poor Rocky! he seems in no shape or condition for a tongue lashing. Nice one!
TAG: Karibou Pull #2
Title: Divine Intervention
Everyone was tired of watching Rocky, the animated angel statue, get drunk and pass out at tea time. It was time for an intervention.
Just brilliant, Karibous! I love it, love it, love it!
@Luci45 - thanks :) Ooh I'm envious of the monster NVidia card - I'm already half-thinking about an upgrade but I'm trying (so far in vain) to make anything worthwhile in Iray (CPU mode) before I take that plunge - it's a bit of a learning curve and reading the mass of forum information is starting to make my brain hurt!
@emsim #3 - they may let her in just to stop the noise outside! Nice use of your pull. (And thanks for your comments on Ms Minos)
@gopherus #9 (congratulations on completing the set!) - nicely done, I love the Greek Chorus of little girls (well, mostly) and the principal's jazz hands :-)
@Karibou #2 - with that array of noxious-looking substances, I'm not surprised he passes out! Lovely lighting and atmosphere too.
And finally GOOD LUCK TO ALL!
Okay, I just HAD to go look at everyone's awesome pictures. As always, everyone has outdone themselves! Awesome entries, everyone! Good luck!!
Gopherus #1; Alice Meets The Pollinator - Love the explosion of flora! The bug hats creep me out a little, though, lol. And the Pollinator himself is really quite terrifying!
Azoohouse #1; Makeup Delivery - The real question is... do they guarantee delivery before 10AM? And lovely "painting" effects!
Totte #1; The Aftermaths - I think I saw them at a bar in Milwaukee once... Bonus points for a Great Old One on drums!! (Though I wonder... does he have a lot of groupies hanging around for him? Because it seems like he might be a little intimidating for that.)
luci45#1; The Peddler or Where Do You Get This Crazy Stuff? - Fantastic posing and expressions! (And I laughed out loud at the barefoot lady holding the heels!) Except... now I really want my own dinosaur-powered cart. *sigh*
Azoohouse #2; Fantasy Ball - I hate it when Trolls show up at the ball! Very fun!!
barbult #1; OMG! I hung my wet clothes too close to the fire! - Eeeek! I sincerely hope she brought more clothes, especially if that bikini goes up in flames!
zawarkal#01; Stirrings of the Soul - Rich, dark, and sinister! Love the intense feelings of drama in this.
Gopherus #2; Alice s Naughty Cat - I can totally see one of my cats doing that. Well, you know, if a fishbowl of very tiny people in a submarine was about...
luci45#2; The Weederman Children Discover a Magic Holiday Mirror - Wow! Fantastic use of reflections!! Getting mirror shots done correctly is really hard -- this one is perfect! And way to juggle all those LBs!
zawarkal#02; Urban Jungle - That would be a very effective way of discouraging people from littering! Gorgeous colors!
luci45#3; HarpyWood - LOL! Love the acronym!! You have such a knack for bringing out "attitude" in your characters! Fantastic image all the way around!
barbult #2; Mr. Bunny’s Photo Studio - *giggle* Okay, ANY render with a giant bunny rabbit is fantastic, but when the bunny is being beaten by a model with a handbag, it's truly a work of art!! And bonus points for the awesome thought bubble!!
Totte#2; That wasn’t longbottom leaves - Wow, that made me a little queasy when viewed closeup. Reminds me of the time I... Well, never mind.
luci45#4; Dream Police - The strange dreamtime characters are okay, but the Dream Police are a little scary!! I fear for the safety of the caterpillar! (And I'm now singing Cheap Trick in my head...)
Totte#3; The train trip - Excellent use of “incompatible environments!" Seamless! Btw, I completely missed the naked shower person the first few times I looked at this.
Gopherus #3; If this is a full moon, this must be another haunted house! - A dog manning the balista... Ruh-roh. That could be dangerous!! Fantastic way to use all of those things in one scene!
emsim #1; This is Not the Mount I Was Looking For - The REAL question is: Is it a VERMICIOUS Knid? Because THAT would be an acceptable way of starting off on an epic quest! Fantastic render, too. Really nice, mellow use of color and amazing attention to detail.
Totte#4; A Peaceful game of poker - Er, yes. Very peaceful. Makes me wonder what things look like when there's a disagreement! You did a spectacular job positioning the exploding cards and poker chips, by the way!
TarinaKivi#; Warmth - Very warm, indeed! Just lovely! The colors and whimsical use of your items is really delightful. I'm especially fond of the little girl standing on the monster/beast/dinosaur creature. It reminds me of something my daughter would do!
barbult #3; Jayden’s Ark of Folly - Oh dear! I think there might be a design-implementation flaw in this one somewhere! Love the pairs of critters on board -- I hope they think of something soon! Lol!
totte #3; You did what with the beer money? - An insult to the Beer Fund always results in a battle to the death! For the honor of beer!! Having said that, my money is on the girls in this fight. They're infinitely better dressed and look rather unruffled by the attacks!
luci45#5; The Arms Dealer’s Crew - The imp on the dresser with the machine gun made me laugh out loud! As always, this is bursting with energy and attitude. (And humor!) I see more LBs in your future!!
Azoohouse #3; Family Outing - Awwww! Not a traditional family, perhaps, but they look so happy! I feel like this will end up in a frame on Mom's desk at work, lol.
MorganRLewis #1; A Conventional Proposal - Hee-hee! Nice play on words in the title! And you neatly worked around your PC's limitations. It turned out wonderfully!
Azoohouse #4; Capture the Pirate - I'm apparently blind, because I seriously almost missed the (giant, central, important) whale in this! I love how you brought all these elements together in this. Awesome water, too!
Gopherus #4; Farissa s Christmas - Lol!! And how convenient -- they're a functional addition to the fireplace at Christmas time! Very clever use of those boots!
luci45#6; There Goes the Neighborhood - I laughed out loud at the eager look on Alice's face (and the decidedly NOT eager look on Dinah's!) From the Wonderland references to the tasteful decor in the demonic household, this one was perfect in every way!
luci45 #7; Gogo Special For the Ladies - Oh. My. That actually tops the shirtless, hairy old guy across my street who mows his lawn with saggy drawers and missed the "Say No to Crack" memo. At least Ludovich looks like he's having a good time!
Diomede 1; The Night They Raided Muncy’s - Not very sporting of him to hide behind the showgirl! But nice work pulling it all together into something coherent! And cool drawing/artistic effects!
Gopherus #5; The Attack of the G’Gugvuntt/Vl’hurg Collector Battlefleet - I'm sure she'll have a distinguished career with Circque du Soleil. (Or not, but hey, points for trying.) And I guess one should never anger the birds of Hawaii!
Diomede #2; Captain Creature from the Black Lagoon - Ooh! Everything is better with pirates! Including swamp monsters! Very funny!!
luci45 #8; Justin’s Grandmother - I like this one! Funny, but with a touch of whimsy, too. Makes me miss my own grandma -- she always had stories to tell. Maybe not stories quite like THAT, lol, but still entertaining. She might have liked being carted off by Muscle Guy, though...
Gopherus #6; The Hazard of Feeding Vegetables to a Klingon - This vaguely reminds me of dinner with my children when vegetables are involved! The title of this one pretty much says it all -- made me giggle! Excellent posing!!
MelanieL#1; Togetherness - Your caption made me laugh as much as the picture did! It's nice to know there's a common theme around Christmas celebrations EVERYWHERE. :D
obanion#01; Angela’s Ass-Hats - Bravo! Excellent use of the "cosplay convention" ploy! I like the flowery briefs on the guy in the middle. You have to applaud a man who's not afraid to show his feminine side...
MelanieL#2; Come Dine With Us - No. No, I don't think I'll look under that lid. To heck with the snakes, the guy in the poofy shirt is SCARY! By the way, this is a beautifully lit and composed render!
Gopherus #7; Demons of Despair - Yikes!! I can totally see these guys appearing in a room full of anxious students taking a math test! Love the rich colors, too!
MelanieL#3; Quickie Divorce - I think I saw a Lifetime Movie of The Week on this one. And, while that thought has crossed my OWN mind on more than one occasion, I need only remind myself that "There is no RRRR in prison," and I get the carpet steamer instead of the archery set! Very, very funny!
emsim #2; Past or Future? - Lovely! Very clever idea, too. I love the fantastic, whimsical feeling of this. Excellent!
luci45#9; Heartbreaker - Who doesn't love Karaoke?! Well, okay, maybe the guy in the armchair doesn't. And the short-order cook in the doorway looks questionable in his love of song, too. Still, it makes me kinda wish I was at that party!
Gopherus #8; The Continuiing Story of Bungalow Bill - Wow!! Poetry (song?) AND art?! You've outdone yourself! I don't know about the way Mom is holding that scythe, by the way. I'd be nervous if I was the dinosaur...
Diomede #3; Not pizza again! - Lol, poor Beast looks like he's NOT looking forward to dinner! I like how the kids are chasing each other around, it makes me feel like I'm at home! Love the pizza boxes, btw!
Diomede #4; Fate of the Last Pair of Adventurers - Oh dear, this doesn't look good for those last two adventurers! At least they're sealed tightly to prevent odor? The glass/crystal blocks are a great visual effect, too.
Diomede #5; Uninvited Guest - Two of my favorite tales! (And bonus for the "Surrender Dorothy" smoke signal in the back!!) This is very, very clever! And so much going on in the background!
MelanieL#4; The Customer is (not) Always Right - LOL!! She's EARNING that commission today! This is faboulous. I'm not sure which made me giggle louder -- the ridiculous outfits or the look on the salesgirl's face! And the panty hose put it over the top! Love it!
emsim #3; Joan Trombone and Her All Crow Chorus - Oh, my. THAT must be something to hear! I just hope she doesn't let them fly over her audience's heads. Becaused birds can be deadly with their droppings!!
Gopherus #9; A Greek Tragedy - Yes, Aiko IS shocked! Fantastic use of expression! Love all the details in this! (And makes me wonder what the plot of Bus Stop entails...)
Awesome work, everyone! And good luck!!
Thanks Melanie and Karibou for your comments!
I believe Bus Stop is something about a group of people on a bus and their romantic entanglements
who are forced by weather to take refuge in a diner
personally i prefer rod sterlings ¿adaption? where one of the bus passengers is a martian spotting for an invasion fleet
and [SPOILER ALERT!!!!!] the short order cook is a venusian out to thwart him. the humans are all collateral damage.

I think I am going to vote for the Monster Raving Loony Party..................... oh whoops wrong election, forget that comment. :coolsmirk:
Chohole - I think "old wicked ladies with dangerous clubs party" should fit better.

when it comes to electing a government it needs to be an official party, and I just love the idea of a party that sets out it's manifesto alphabetically http://www.loonyparty.com/5213/4721/loony-party-manicfesto-2015/
@Karibou - thanks for you comments. That massive run-through must have taken you a while...
I second that! (I missed it at first, lol)
You're welcome! And the marathon review is a good way to look at everything closely before voting!
Thank you gopherus, Luci45, MelanieL and Karibou for your comments on my last one. I believe I would personally be keeping my distance from an act like that!
A couple of comments on the last two:
gopherus #9: Congratulations on getting nine of these done! (and to Luci, too!) I love the expression on Aiko's face and everyone's poses. I never saw any version of Bus Stop but I imagine this would be a rather strange take on it!
Karibou #2: Looks like Rocky went on a real bender and it caught up with him! Not sure he's going to hear any of that intervention! I like the slightly dreamlike quality to the image that contrasts with the reality of what's going on there. (Nice play on words again in the title!)
I really enjoy the imagination that everyone brings to this contest - not only in the renders but also in the commentary. It's fun to see how different people interpret the same image different ways!
Another great RRRR, Totte. Thanks for continuing to run these!

Lol! Love this! It's scary to me that these guys make more sense than anyone in my actual government! (American)
Good luck to all participants!
I wish I could have been more involved, but (sigh!) reality just kept getting in the way! Dammit!
The good news is that I now have four new tires on my car, new wiper blades, fresh oil, and both front- and rear-end wheel alignments (rear-end!? I never knew!), a GPS device (I think we can now declare that market officially saturated!), and I survived the annual family reunion. And I made it through the dreaded DMV renewing-the-driver's-license experience without killing anyone.
All in all, a productive month.
(That's my excuse, and I'm sticking to it!)
Excuse accepted.
If you haven't voted - you still have a week (while I plan the next evil RRRR)
Winners are now announced here: http://www.daz3d.com/forums/viewreply/789614/
Congrats to all new LBs!
Shouldn't I be getting +3 LBs? Not that +2 isn't a challenge in itself. Eother way Luci45 still has more! :lol:
Edit : I mean -1 +3
Congratulations to all the winners! And commiserations to Luci45, who is starting to look like a victim of her own success. :lol:
