[ If the winner doesn’t supply a theme before Thursday 22:30 GMT, the organizer will select the theme. In this case, the winner’s theme will be used the next time we are lacking a theme on Thursday 22:30 GMT. ]
Having selected the theme, the winner will not be eligible to enter that week. They may however still submit an image, but it won’t be included in the voting.

Very nice works everyone! Definitely a strong week!
My faves are by dat boi, RC12 and joshwinkler3D but Helge takes the prize this time, hands down!
A great image.
RC12 got my vote because I was also going to attempt a SPLASH if I’d had the time! Helge’s crow, though – nice. I’ve also been thinking about doing a bird for the longest time…
We have 267757 members but only 36 votes, so far. Things could change, but I do see a trend, as well.
So, thanks for the votes. As always, I’ll start the new entry thread after the voting closed. In the unlikely event of a loss of cabin pressure… strike that… if things hold up, the new theme will be “The End”.
At first, I had a crow in mind but in the end I based the bird on the common raven. But, the entries concept works fine with crows and ravens and as wikipediasays:
‘There is no consistent distinction between “crows” and “ravens”, and these appellations have been assigned to different species chiefly on the basis of their size, crows generally being smaller than ravens.’
It took me a moment to get the “writing desk”. I’ll have to think about that.
Thanks to whoever voted for me. I would like to hear some criticism on my render. I’m going to try and enter the challenge every week, and improve my skills as much as I can.
@Helge lol on the heads up hint. Too bad though cause I started a little scene that soul fit that but guess I will be starting something else hehehe
@MACEPRODUCTIONS I am sure Millani will be sharing some thoughts soon maybe the window is a little too low to the floor and maybe needed some additional objects in the scene like a little table or chair to show it is a place that is lived in and not just an exploding Suzanne in an empty house. Look forward to more of your entries to come.
Congrats @Helge. I was scrolling through the entries and I seen yours and was one of those " that’s the winner" moments. Initially in the entry phase I about fainted when I seen yours listed as ’ pure entry ’ and not noncompeting. I really liked the feather look, did you model a couple then particle them?
Actually, for the wing and tail feathers, I modeled a single feather and duplicated, moved and scaled it by hand. It took me only a few minutes and I couldn’t think of anything faster. For the rest, I used four hair particle systems (beak, head, neck/chest and body). Currently, the bird is rather un-animatable (and it has only one wing) but I’m fine with that.
