At long last! It’s been quite some time since I took part of the challenge (2 years!) but here I am again!
I’ll call this a pure entry (all is CG but the castle in the background). I’ve always been bad at names so lets just call it… err “Knight of the Mech”. Yeah that’ll do it.
To have it fit the theme my idea was to have this steampunk’ish mech in some medieval setting, but I dunno. Feels like I should have made it clearer. 
Oh well you be the judge! 
Figured I would throw something together for this one since it might be @purbosky last time around for a bit. So figured a digital watch resting on a sundial.
Pure Entry 300 samples in Cycles and Filmic color adjustment calling this one…
“Out Of Time”
Border Control
In a time when it is so easy to travel from one country to another, it feels a bit odd that some people carrying one piece of paper get immediate entry to a country, while others with a different piece of paper have a lot of difficulty crossing borders.
Pure entry. 128 samples for both. 10 minutes rendering the first angle. something like 25 for the second.
That Shouldn’t Be Here.
Hello Everyone. Happy new year.
This is my first time participating in a contest. I’ve read the rules but it’s a bit confusing, especially the part where I need to submit a link for the picture, and the size of the picture ( I don’t see links nor the sizes of the pictures are 250kb or less ).
So I’ll simply upload it and hope that this is the right way to do it XD
Pure, Cycles, 512 samples, Blender 2.81
Nice entry, great to have you around!
And you are right, the rules need a few updates. I’ll look into that soon. 
Welcome! The confusing and out of date rules have only led to minor skirmishes so nothing to worry about. 
Actually, the contests are just for fun and self growth as artists so while they are important, the rules are sometimes, appropriately, secondary.
If you disagree on how an entry was submitted you can always use your votes. All for fun anyway.
The entry size is a rule most ignore now as outdated.
Really like the rain effect. What technique did you use?
Hello there 
I’m a first timer and I don’t want to break the rules but I noticed that no one is following them so I thought I misunderstood the rules, or at least some of them.
I have absolutely no objections on anything that was,is, or going to be submitted. It’s all about having fun and sharing knowledge and ideas with the others. That’s why I wanted to participate. I wish everyone here good luck and I’m looking forward to seeing masterpieces submitted by my fellow blender-ers 
low samples! hahaha
One could even say they’re chronologically out of place . 
…I think I’ll just show myself the way out.
Pure entry. “A pyramid among the high-rises”
I have included a link to my entry. This is my first entry as well so I hope I am uploading this right. Also, one model is from a tutorial I followed previously but was made in Blender and so I am entering as pure. Please let me know if this is the incorrect category to enter in.
For a bit more description, I had a lot of ideas finally going with an old pyramid next to skyscrapers. By the time I got started I was short on time and this is what I could put together in a few hours. Next time I will definitely work on my time management more and give more time to texturing and to rendering.
IPad 2020
Pure entry. Rendered in cycles with 400 Samples + Denoise.
And Happy New Year everybody.!!
Any chance it will be open for five more minutes?
It will. I’ll be home in about half an hour, so this thread will stay open a little longer tonight.
Btw.: Welcome back!
Thanks! It feels great to be back.
So yeah I update my entry so also the castle is CG, just to make it more fair to call it pure
