Hello to everyone, my images are PURE, (I candidate the first one for this contest) I hope to improve soon. I used only 2 textures, the rest is procedural. There is more modeling than it seems anyway. Had fun to make it, despite i am not good with materials
Cheers to all 
I forgot that I have been told to say that the texture is a wood from Carelia

I modeled everything and I was updating my PC at the same time to see if it would help with the problem I woke up my PC rebooted and I go in to do auto recover to bring the file back up and all the auto save file are gone. 
I open the file I saved before I started finishing modeling and rendering and the 2 models I needed are not there so I skip the modeling and render the scene go back to sleep wake up and my PC froze again. 
Oh well.
Have to do alot of research to fix it, disk is at 100% now, it’s alot of work trying to lower your resources when you don’t have the money to fix it . 
JOY DIVISION
Very nice theme for this weekend so I wanted to share my idea… Hope there will be fans of Joy Division 
Everything modeled by myself so PURE. Cycles.

what kind of computer do you have? you mention freezing and your computer rebooting: this could be due to overheating, is it possible your computer has too much dust in it? Another issue I can think of is if you have a mechanical hard drive that is on the verge of dying.
Its an hp notebook quad core about 4-5 years old
Its a hardware problem I tried running a bio scan on the system on startup and it stops with a failure the number code is for synaptic and keyboard.
I thought I fried one of the processors, but they are all working when I render an image don’t have anything to check the heat to see if its over heating.
There’s no virus I scanned it before it started acting up and it never goes on the net I bought it strictly for blender and such.
I’m going to run a hardware scan and fix to see if it will work while I render an image in blender…

sounds quite messy. I have a grudge against HP: I found them to be a mediocre company that sells mediocre products. anyway, back on topic -> on my computer, I have gpu-z.

here’s my entry:
“that song”
open - cycles
so context: everyone had that feeling, once. when you are hearing “that song”. that is an approximation of what I felt the fist time I heard this song:
as always, it didn’t turned out exactly as planned ( hair grooming on blender keeps trying its best to be the number 1 pain of my existence), but I’m pretty content with the result.
(my first idea was flagged as nsfw, so this is a slightly edited version. if you wanna see the original, here it is):
