Non-competing
Cycles, 3000 samples, filmic, MBlabs add-on, Paintshop Pro for post processing
Quick but fun little render. Started with a MBlabs figure and then made him less pretty. A few scars. A broken nose. A little bit of cauliflower ears. Bulked up the upper body muscles a tad.
Some key lights and noise to add some softness to the image.

En Garde !
Pure entry. Cycles 256 samples, branched path tracing, procedural textures, compositor. All models are newly made.
The names ‘Ceyla’ and ‘Eve’ are inspired by ‘Cycles’ and ‘EEVEE’, btw. Just playing with the phonetic aspect though.

“Jury” like in “court”? Good luck. I hope this worked out well for you.
Indeed, it would probably need something like a major asteroid impact to stop us.
Of course you did
Welcome to the challenge!
Welcome! It is funny that, this week, both first time entries focus on balls and bats.

Spectacular work. I love the reflection of the people (and the alley!) in the bowling ball.
