Here’s my entry, didn’t get where I wanted with it. I wanted to get in some character work this week but sadly I had a lot of schoolwork and it interrupted my efforts.

Non-competing. DC Metro
There were supposed to be trains but they weren’t working out for me. The whole project was biting off more than I can chew really but it was educational.

Pure entry
2.81 beta, Eevee render (64 samples with AI denoising), 960x540 aspect ratio, composition is Harmonious Triangles. Can’t say there’s anything I did for this that I’ve never done before.

I hate my computer. It crashed right after I pressed ctrl+s to save. Now all I have is an empty .blend file. 
No way I’m going to start something from scratch now…
Ugh sorry to hear it.
The autosave didnt have a working file created?

@MatthewK glad to know they allow the gladiators to have a birthday party before heading into the arena.

Welcome @Manitoadlet, very ambitious indeed. Populating such a scene can be quite a challenge. Speaking of educational I would recommend Ian Hubert’s tutorials they are a good resource world building.
Apparently there is a .blend1 file in the same directory, but since it did not show up in Blender’s open menu I didn’t realize that. So I didn’t lose anything, except that I feel really silly now.

No need to feel silly, it has bit me a couple times in the past as well. But I guess losing only 2 minutes worth of work is a lot better than the whole thing.

So I finished what I started last weekend, gave it a render, messed around with the compositor, and then I called it finished and closed blender. I went to upload the image here so you guys can see it and, guess what… it turns out I forgot to save the image.
This just isn’t my week. I better lock myself indoors before I get hit by a car or something…

If I was to guess, I would say that you regularly work on animation projects.
I actually have no idea how to make an animation in Blender. I used to mess around with Adobe Flash when I was a kid, though.
Do animators frequently forget to save their work? oO
A guess from my part, since when you animate, all your frames are automatically saved for you.
