Unstable Ground
Pure, competing.
Cycles + compositor, 256 samples for a ~10 minute render.
This took a while to make.
I will be sharing a time-lapse video of the modelling soon. I will update this later and possibly create its own topic.

Edit:
I wish I was a modeler, I have a cool idea for this one involving a parachute
Slice of Life
I collected some of my entries which had some impact in my Blending life one way or the other. They are organized chronologically, with earlier ones in the bottom and newer ones in the top.
I think this was my first attempt at doing architecture. I did a lot of mistakes (wooden floor looks horrible), and because of the time rooms ended up being way too empty. But I’m happy with it nevertheless.

I am still quite new here, and am not quite sure whether to call this pure or open. To be on the safe side let’s call it OPEN.
“Recycled Rocket”
Non-competing. I rarely use old models, but I’ve been too busy with other projects, the rocket is from an old WEC.
Incredible entries all! One of the best showings ever in my book.
I agree! And very diverse as well! Bravo everyone 
A very nice use of the shader, OLG!
Love the sparkles as well

Thanks It was fun designing him.
@purbosky: LOL, Scrat’s so much fun.
Millions of years later, and squirrels are still nuts for nuts.
Some things not even evolution can change.
@RobertT, I am astounded at how much I’ve learned on building materials in the last year. It has nothing to do with me but with blender and the “astounding” help the community has shared with us beginners. A little sad I paid little to no attention to rendering for 3 years. Didn’t need it for cnc pattern creation. To say my learning has been disjointed is an understatement.
I am still not sure about the sparkles. lol. Wife pressured me and I caved like a worn out toothpick.
@Photox, nice render. Brought back memories from a prior life. 
All, amazing renders from everyone as always.
