I hope it is on topic. I thought about the topic as a mix of a human and a horse.

A disco in my city was called ‘the mix’ (maybe two 'x’s). And a disco is the perfect place to see all sorts of colours mixed. Now the disco is replaced by a Chinese food takeaway.
So here’s my entry. The extremely tidy disco: the Blended mix

It’s far from being finished (technically), but I got it to a point where you can grab the story behind the image. Hope you enjoy.

BgDM [list:9519c49dfc]
Four older models mixed into a sort of bust sculpture thingy. Still put a lot of work into joinging all these meshes up. Was actually kind of a pain in the ass.

Here’s my entry, it’s called “The End”. It’s an open entry b/c the face is something that I’ve been working on for a while, other than that, it’s a pure entry.

Sily
“In Greek Mythology, Chimera was one of the offspring of Typhon and Echidna. Descriptions vary – some say she had the body of a goat, the hindquarters of a snake or dragon and the head of a lion, though others say she had heads of both the goat and lion, with a snake for a tail. All descriptions, however, agree that she breathed fire from one or more of her heads.”

Remember, as this is a special edition, the winner will get to choose his prize from the blender3d e-shop.

Lots of good entries. I went with Robertt, it just looks so good on my screen.

It was tough to decide. I can see noobs probably worked just as hard as the non-noobs.

A few entries didn’t look like they were part of this week’s theme, so I couldn’t honestly consider them, but in general, good work everyone (is this Paula Abdul review that I just gave?)

Hard to decide between so many great entries. Voted for Backiz, but also liked the images from BgDM, Sago, Robertt and nico.

Voted for Fallen, simple but convincing and realistic.

I voted for nico because he made me laugh. I loved the characters.

Robertt’s was excellent, I loved it, but… it wasn’t funny.

Voted for Sago, very good :slight_smile:

here’s a personal favourite list :smiley:

number 1/ Gold:Sago
2:Nico
3:Backiz
4:Bgdm
5: Fallen
6: Elrond
7: Solocreator
8: Robertt

I like SoloCreaters entry. I just wish he had a bigger render. It looks almost as if it were scaled down. Any chance for a bigger render SoloCreater? Anway, that’s who got my vote.

-Lando

voting for sago ( again ),…good character,…great lighting.

Lots of great entries! You guys give me something to aspire to. I voted for BackiZ because I liked the character and the overall effect. But I must say I was particularly impressed with DracoFodder, Fallen, nico, Sago & Sily.

Good work ya’ll!

vote: BackiZ. very nice work everyone [!]

Voted for BgDM, Just great style ! :smiley:
other entries are also great, but unforunately most of them aren’t really an interpretation of the topic “A blended mix”… or I just don’t understand it :wink:

voted for backiz. was a hard choice, bit there were a couple entry’s i didn’t thought it came a long with the idea of the topic, so that made the choici slightly easier

BackiZ, you’re breath is warm and sweet… I should know, 'cause I’ve been feeling it the last 2 days in my neck. :smiley: spannennnnnd!

Lotsa comments about some of the work not being topic-related enough. Understandible, I myself have sometimes doubts about a work and the topic. But I also think it’s great when someone can take the topic and make it their own. Make something you wouldn’t expect, something to think about. It doesn’t always have to be so obvious (I prefer not). Work like nico’s is an example I still haven’t figured out. But it looks fun and good, and I’m sure he has his own great idea behind the topic. So please, stay openminded (not to open, or your brains fall out).

Anyway, I voted SoloCreator. Great work, that didn’t get the votes it deserved.

3… 2… 1… Sago

I was already thinking most of the comments about relation to the topic were addressed at me. Where is Captain Obvious when you need him? :wink:

That big ogre-like creature likes to have a blended mix of those little colorful (and tasty) people for his evening meal. Like Jelly Beans.

Don’t worry Nico, I got it. Very nice render too.

lol sago :stuck_out_tongue: how does my breath smell huh? :stuck_out_tongue:

You’ll win anyway. I didn’t know how your image related to the topic, till I read it in your finished projects topic. I see my guess on nico’s image was correct :slight_smile:
I think all images without a blender are well done (hint for those with a blender, be original even if it’s hard ). And I have to say I like yours (sago) too. The same style like “the red button”.

But the best thing is that I blended a full day :smiley: since a looooong long looooong (etc.) time. (call it a huge blenderblock). So i’ve had my joy. You may win ;).

Thanks to those 20 who voted for me

The smoker in me voted for Elbow, superb idea, one very close to my heart.

However the 3d artist in me voted for Elrond, my fav entry of all.

Had I remembered to check for the topic, I’d have entered this one, perhaps this week.

Sonix.

22 now :stuck_out_tongue:

Winner: Sago, with 30% of the votes

Congrats!
