[UPDATE?] I think this is now the longest post I have ever created

[UPDATE] I have no idea how many images I can add - @Millani I added a hat

[UPDATE] Only 150 samples at the moment, keep render times down. I added some references to previous challenges.

This is where my entry is going (current title - inconspicuous)

Oleander - Dangerous Beauty

Non-competing

Cycles, 3000 samples, hdri lighting, filmic, lattice deform petals, Paintshop Pro post processing

Oleander is a beautiful plant but is considered one of the most poisonous plants in the world. A single leaf can kill a child. Thankfully, I only have two large shrubs in my front yard for decoration.

@joshwinkler3d Muggo should be wearing a hat and reading the news too

[MadeWithFeet]

Heyyy! I found Muggo this time ! Nice one.

[MadeWithFeet]

Well…

A feast of fools:

Blocking stage is done. Into modeling!

[joshwinkler3d]

Thanks @Millani, Muggo fit better than expected - for me he looks like an extra set of eyes I’m still not sure about the hat though (edit: added a hat).

Thanks @MadeWithFeet, a bit easier this time and he also has a new set of glasses - I will have to post the solution at some point.

Title: “The lonely tree”

My first attendance in the weekend competition, please let me know if I did anything wrong. I think the rules are a bit of a mouthfull, and I did not have much time this weekend, so I just threw my work out there

Pure

Here is my non-competing entry:

THE TREACHERY OF RENDERS: THIS IS NOT RENÉ MAGRITTE

Pure Blender 2.79, Cycles, only procedural textures.

Inspired primarily by René Magritte’s “The Treachery of Images” (also more popularly known as his “This is not a pipe” work):

The Treachery of Images

There are also visual allusions to other themes Magritte frequented.

Technical note: the image in the center is a reflection of the scene (with modified geometry and spatial placement to reflect only certain elements and to make the sky appear as an ocean).
