RobertT. I love your entry, very artistic. I like the vertical format too.

So the results are fairly even so far…

Aravind MG’s is the nicest looking, but I love fcharr’s concept. Tough decision.

thanks CW :slight_smile:

Thank you very much, YAFU! I really appreciate that.

Nice fun and creative entries, everyone!

Modron’s really made me smile :smiley:

Thanks Robert…I guess my strategy didn’t pan out this time, maybe the hair was too coarse. Awesome render, btw.

Well done Aravind MG, great composition and the streaks on the fur texture really set it off.

I want to feel like I at least accomplished something this week, so here’s a photo I took of a rock. It shows a lot of different types of materials (snow, rock, tree bark, etc) , so feel free to use it as reference material:

Just to be clear: that’s a photograph, not a render. It would be cool if it was though :slight_smile:

Thank you everyone.
I am not sure how many understood the small story behind that scene, because it wasn’t clear enough. There is this hospitalized kid with his teddy bear in the photo frame, then the same teddy bear on the sill and the kid’s hand prints on the window, with the rain and diffuse light setting up the mood.

Thanks vaguehorizon, I used hair simulation for best results
