Pure Entries

BgDM [list:1097ef748a]
A loose interpretation of the topic I think. A fair amount of post-pro in Photoshop.

Think “sold-out concert”
Then think “the masses outside a sold-out concert”
Just don’t think “How are they holding thoses truncheons?”

With a tip of the proverbial hat to ztonzy whose bloodcells gave me this idea.

Pure. 100% Blender, 100% procedural textures. (except for the reflection, if you want to get technical.) used RipSting’s Fiber Generator.
(My first head… whew, what a pain. )

And here is my pic didn’t get a chance to finish but O well.
I think it is PURE, the body is a model i made before, but everything else is new.

pamtango
Created entirely this weekend. Used a couple plugin textures but otherwise totally procedural and totally blender. My sense of humor totally off-the-tile.

I just had to vote for JamesAmI. Your entry is just too wacky not to notice it :slight_smile:

Very different (due to the theme I think) entries.

BgDM: Nice idea, reminds me of a Satriani album cover.
JamesIAm: funny :slight_smile:
phlip: very funny :smiley:
CubeFan: not funny :-? wtf
Idgas: was closest to my interpretation of the theme :wink:
X-Warrior: Well done, but I´ve seen it before
pamtango: I guess it´s funny but it´s really off the tile (don´t get it)
@ndy: :o my vote

My most important criteria is whether and how a picture touches me. Not as cheesy as it sounds. The amount of emotion that comes through the image is what is most important I think. @ndy´s entry just hits me in the face.

some very nice entrys
jamesamI - you did the idea that I didn’t do, very nice :slight_smile:
phlip - pretty funny
pamtango - that entry is just way too damn funny, great interpretation but some people may not understand it, could have used more work to refine it. (my vote goes to you :smiley: )

rogerm3d: Thanks for your vote! Didn’t really expect any votes, but just couldn’t resist making it once the pun went through my mind. Tempting to add a blood soaked rug around the toilet, but had other projects to complete, tango to dance, and softball to play.

I usually vote humor. Have my votez0rz philip.

Um, you kind of have to see “Fargo” to know what’s going on. It’s not played for laughs, and despite the fact that the film is a black comedy, the scene’s not supposed to be funny at all.

(In the scene, a policeman pulls over two criminals who’ve kidnapped a guy’s wife. The policemn figures it out, and in order to keep him silent…)

hmm, I’ve seen fargo, and like it much.
but still I dont quite get what’s going on your pic :slight_smile: anyways, I’m glad to see you modeling! good luck.

Sorry Cube. Maybe I judged a little too fast and the ‘cartoony’ look of your entry gave me a wrong impression.

Ok its about 10 o’clock pm EST and I just realized that my site is down. I would like to apologize to JamesAmI for the failing link. There is something wrong with my site and I am trying to get it resolved. I should have the site back up by tomorrow afternoon. Once again I do apologize for the broken link.

Wehee! I gots lotsa votes! :o (be patient phlip, climb the ladder… :stuck_out_tongue: )

I can’t remember who I voted for, it was so long ago…
I’m pretty sure I voted for X-W

Keep the weird and mysterious topics coming :smiley:

I had to vote for james, I tried to do one for this and was having a hard time trying to uv texture a face(was my first time). Looks like he didn’t have much trouble. I had to give up on mine becaust I had run out of time before I could add the blood bag.
