Great job everyone. Good luck with the votes!

And here is what I have been working on:

I am sure some of you may already have seen this here.
The render didn’t finish in time for me to submit it as noncompeting but I am very happy with the final result anyway.
Good luck to everyone!

Not that I care that much :wink: but what has happened to video embedding?

I just asked @bartv about this and he is already checking it out:

Just post it in the finished section, it might still get featured on top. :wink:

As @Iridesium won last weeks challenge and (because of this) selected the theme for this weekend, the entry would have been non-competing anyway. So this time, time is innocent. :slight_smile:

will thin i take what i say back, but its still sad

However, ignoring that little detail, you are still right. As a regular entry it would probably have won. :lizard:

defiantly will :slight_smile:

Thank you all! I am very glad you like it! Helge is right, it would have been noncompeting but why should this stop us from doing our best work? :wink:
Thank you all again!

Awesome entries to everyone :slight_smile: My vote went to alf0 though although it was difficult to choose. Great picture!

hay thank you so much for the support, almos all of them are great, and i cant even think who will be the winner

It`s awsome man! I like how you first look at the background and tree shapes and then notice that chameleon in the foreground. Very interesting to look at. I like the colors as well there might just be a little too much going on and not so much eye rest in my taste.

Thank you Helge! I can’t imagine why they have blacklisted BlenderArtists. if it continues to be a problem then I can always just use youtube, whom I feel have a somewhat lower entry standard ;-).

Quite a tight race this time, a single vote could change everything.

Some feedback:

Ansaar13: If a portal to an alternate reality opens in the middle of a forest, and no one is there to cross it, does it really work? :wink: I liked how the vines on the “alternate dimension” look like lightning bolts. The colours are bizarre, but I suppose that was the intention.

3dnotguru: I liked the vibe of the scene, makes me feel like a lonely submarine in a vast, unknown ocean. I just think there could be something in bright area, like some artifact or ruin. Right now the focal element is a chunk of sand.

beau11: Nice cave, it sure makes one want to get inside it :drum:
The scene reminds me a bit of the idea of a hermit who withdraws from society to live in a cave, dedicating themself to their own thoughts.
The silhouette of the person looks pretty nice, but I don’t see much relation to self-discovery in the image. The guy just seems to be walking around.

didierv: Sometimes luck is just right in front of us, but we don’t see it. I liked how the clover is hidden in plain sight, but stands out sufficiently to be the centre of the image once you see it. I just think you could’ve added a few more layers of clovers, since I can see the black backgorund right now.

fcharr: I liked the shape of the rocks in the foreground. They look somewhat organic (the left part looks a bit like a rose) and rocky at the same time. The contrast between rough and smooth, dark and bright, in the foreground is also pretty cool.

purbosky: This reminds me a bit of the heads of Easter island, mysteriously standing there, no one knowing their real purpose. I liked the two suns in the sky, making the place feel more alien. The terrain is a bit too flat though.

alf0: The woman might be evil, but whoever imprisioned her there was peverse: So close yet so far away from escaping, eternally tortured with hope that doesn’t exist. I liked the dungeon feeling of the image. The model of the woman is also pretty nice, only the hair is a bit too smooth.

unyxium: Pretty cool looking foliage. The glowing crystals inside look quite inviting (although the mushrooms are probably radioactive). But, as they say, curiosity killed the cat.

Peetie: Interesting idea. What kind of world lies on top of that rock?
Will the lenses be strong enough to let us see all of its secrets? I liked the design of the microscope. Is it based on a real one? It must be a real pain to align those lenses!

Blujay: Nice models, specially the brain. I liked the little heart in the frontal lobe. I just think the wireframe is getting a bit in the way of the brain, maybe you could’ve made it more transparent in some areas.

joshwinkler3d: I loved when that happened when I used to eat fast food. After finishing the meal, you start fiddling with the packages, just wishing the portions were a tad bit bigger, and then you find one extra fry! Although, in this case, the box doesn’t seem to be filled with fat, so the fry can’t be good :wink: Funny idea!

wahyukemalajati: Pretty cool landscape. The extra blue river looks almost magical (or maybe toxic…). I just think the light contrast could be a bit stronger to make the image stand out more.

RayVelcoro: Man, it took me forever to see what was wrong with the stamp! Truly undiscovered! I liked the vintage vibe of the image.

FlyingBanana: The probe and black-hole look pretty cool. The bright lights made the probe look even more spacey. Will the probe discover how it is like inside a black hole, or will it be crushed by the gravity? We might never know, since not even light escapes a black hole…
One thing: I think the balance of the image is quite off. There is a lot going on on the right side, but not much on the left.

WassaBlender: I always wondered where did the balloons go when I was a kid (and why did they never come back). Creative idea. It also makes me think of a child who grows up, discovering new things, and leaves the “balloon of childhood” behind.

RC12: I liked the contrast on the grass. The scene looks quite surreal.

OLG: Is that fish flying? I mean, a dragon fish should be able to fly, right? I liked how the weird fish is in an ordinary forest, as if this were a normal scene to see everyday.

Helge: That frog really is living up to its name! Love the colours and how the frog is camouflaged. I loved the double-meaning of the image, with both the frog and the eggs (?) being undiscovered.
The plants look a bit plastic for me, but this makes the scene cuter somehow.

RobertT: Look too far away and you won’t see what is in front of you. Those rocks look awesome, and I loved the contrast between the clean robot and the rough environment.

3dmad: Cool animation, though it did not make much sense to me, the monster didn’t really do anything.
But I liked the idea of a monster hiding on the moon.

Iridesium: Wow, that’s a lot of detail! I loved the lizard and how it is lazily lying there. It’s red scales make it stand out nicely.
I also loved the balance between dark and bright spots. The image somehow feels warm and humid like a jungle.
Fun fact: In Portuguese there is a verb (lagartear) which essentially means “to lizard”, as in lying on somewhere doing nothing (like a lizard).

Not so much fun fact: The site seems to be cropping images on the right side (for example, OLG’s signature does not appear completely to me, unless I open the full size image). In a forum about images this is quite annoying.

@bartv Is this intentional? Is it because of the bullets in Helge’s post? Can it be fixed?
