Well, haven’t done one of these in a while (years)…

But let’s see what my rusty blender skills can still do.

I’m in! And I’m thirsty! <<placeholder>>

I’m liking this Thursday start. I might not get any time on the weekend to do this so here’s my entry now. It will probably be a boring entry from what I’ve seen you guys think up but its the first thing that came to my mind. James Bond once said, “Shaken, not stirred.”

Hello guys,

This is mine

Idea:

“It’s been a long day and this person have been walking across the desert for a long time and the person is getting tired, until he saw something he so wanted . . .”

The Aliens Are called Liqads

“The Liqads need water to live, if they have a sufficient amount of water then they stay blue, But if they get thirsty they turn Red.”

Hehe, cool squids/octopus/alien (no pun intended).

What’s that little thing hovering in the middle, that’s in grey?

The one with its shadows cast on the wall behind it, who’s above the water?

I’m going to repeat here what I wrote in my post in Finished Projects.

(Theeth: I also added a shorter link below that you can use when it’s time to put together the poll.) RobertT

This is my entry for Weekend Challenge 205. While at first the topic for the challenge (“Thirsty?”) seemed at first limited to only humor, after some extended reflection I believed there was room for a more serious interpretation of the topic of thirst, as in a/the source of sustenance. Indeed, what this image contains is not only very serious to me but something I consider eternally sanctified as well.

And so, here we are:

SACRED SUSTENANCE

Theeth, you can use this shorter link:

]

If you elect not to click the link, there is this inscription I wrote on the image that I believe is still worth reading:

“Let us remember that Woman is the sacrosanct source and sacred sustenance of all human life.”

I consider this one of the more important and deeply spiritual moments of life I have attempted capture and portray as artistically as I could. This image is not meant to be photorealistic, only artistic.

I believe it is well worth remembering and reasserting and rediscovering the all too often forgotten sacred and sustaining nature of woman and, through her, the life that enters this world.

My hope was to create a potentially powerful image that might remind most of us of our physical origins as humans, our overall humanity, and the continuing literal life force and love and beauty and nurturing that countless women have provided the world for centuries.

As per the Weekend Challenge rules, this will be classified as an “open” entry, since this blend makes use of the baby mesh I created for my Miracle project.

Light post-processing was performed to type the text and tweak gamma and foreground DOF (glow and background DOF was all done through render nodes).

Thank you very much for viewing my work,

RobertT

I wanted to take this a bit outout of the box.
Thirsty Justice!
So we have the Glorps a society of blobs in which the most powerful wepon is not a gun but a straw and they deliver thirsty justice.
