Made some changes.

I’m going to tell myself this is absolutely done and force myself to not look at it again, otherwise I’ll keep messing with it.

What is the preferred method for updating entries? Should I be editing my post instead of making a new one. I did that previously with a small change, but I felt like a bigger change warranted a new post.

[KDLynch (Kelly Lynch)]

in the challenge rules ( Welcome to the Weekend Challenges ) it mentions only the last image by a given poster is considered, the rest marked as ‘non-compete’ or somesuch.

EDIT: well, hrmm… I don’t see it there, but am positive i read that somewhere.

My entry is Wrap It Up

Pure, Cycles.

Interesting topic, but I had trouble coming up with an idea.

Not an entry, but my most recent finished project fits the theme perfectly:

Un rêve de ballet

[ballerina24_final] It started with a blenderartists weekend challenge, where I absolutely wanted to avoid sculpting a portrait. But, of course, got lost in the process. After letting it rest for quite a while, I came back to it and drove it to a point where I’m happy. Hope you like it. Many thanks to @sozap for his helpful feedback.

Anyway, I also tried a new idea.

I had fun with the geometry nodes generating my ribbons. Had Not much time left for textures or background. :-/

You are right: “Only one entry per person is allowed. If multiple images are submitted, only the most recent will be used for voting.”

@Broccolium

What is the preferred method for updating entries?

Actually, I’m monitoring changes to all entry posts automatically. So, you can just replace the initial image by an updated one. If you keep the old versions within the post, just make sure to place the image you want to compete first, as this is the one my script will use when generating the voting list. (Before starting the voting thread, I’ll look through everything manually as well. But sometimes it can be easy to miss a few details.)

[Broccolium (David)]

Thanks for explaining the inner workings, Helge. That clears things up.

I do have reservations about updating the initial entry post with a later version with significant changes. Mainly, it has to do with likes on posts. If someone liked the first version, that doesn’t guarantee they’ll like later iterations.

I think I’ll make a new post if the change is significant, and update the initial post if it isn’t. I’ll also try my best to only make one entry post when I truly feel it’s done, rather than spam the thread.
