I’m just waiting for the compositer to get done I’m going to post the uncomposited image and the composited image.
Have to do some color corrections on one of the layer renders.

Going for an ironic take on it I see
Very nice!

non-competing - cycles
I decided to keep my half full glass as my entry, so I’m posting the result of lots of syms and debugging as a non competing
the non-edited version (for some reason, it looks better than the edited one)

Hey all, this is my very first contest entry, but I’ve been lurking for a while now.
When I think atmosphere, I immediately think of Blade Runner (both are equally atmospheric). The roof top snow/rain scene in BR 2049 inspired this entry.
Good luck, they all look fantastic!
Rendered in Eevee:

Been having problems with my render thought I saved the composited image and exited blender to find it nowhere to be found the second time I rendered it, it froze now I’m rendering it again it’s 4 hours each per a render so I’ve been rendering for 16 hours trying to get the composited image. 
Here’s my entry
NASA Mars Atmospheric Habitat
Pure
Cycle
4096x2160 resolution
75 samples
All procedural textures
Blender Landscape add-on comes with blender when you down load
Multires lvl 2
Sculpted on for detail didn’t have enough for me
Filmic
World settings for the clouds in the background with procedural textures and a sphere with a particals system for the stars
Bump to norm for further details with procedural textures
Lens flare made in blender
3 layered
Had to use my phone to composite the image blender froze on me again and won’t be home until about 4pm today
If I can I’ll composite the saved uncomposited image instead of rendering again it will save time but I’ll have to make ajustments in the compositor.
Heres the uncomposited image no entry

I like how this theme can be taken literally or metaphorically. I’m glad to see people trying it both ways.
Here’s mine:
Sky Islands
Pure entry, rendered in Eevee with procedural and hand-drawn textures
Taking inspiration from Chrono Trigger and BioShock

ooo i really like that! I have a very similar image in my head from years ago that i just never got around to.
I ended up doing another thing that fit the challenge, y’all know im up on that everyday art challenge, and i guess i sort of did two today, but i finished after midnight so technically it counts for mondays art.
anyways, thought you fellas might get a kick out of it.
“It was then we realized that the angels with their halos depicted in our ancient text and artwork, were infact their ships. And it all made sense, for pizza was our god, its flesh we feasted on, the forbidden fruit, and retribution was at hand. For every slice we ate, so too would a human be eaten by them.”

Non-competing. EEVEE, toying around with volumetric + smoke sim, some post-pro in GIMP. Used ship models I made for CGBoost challenge. Omitted some effects as EEVEE doesn’t seem to handle fancy materials too well (or it was me who’s too lazy to tinker with it some more, lol).
Alternate version (no smoke sim) :

Maaan what a great theme, so many wonderful entries. No idea how I should choose a favourite (or three). You really picked a good one, @Cesium55!

This is my first image for a challenge, hope you’ll like it 
Asteroid
Pure
Asteroids coming through the atmosphere, reflected from the mirror of a bike.
I used image texture for the rock, everything else is done using procedural textures. Rendering with 1024 samples took little more than 3 hours.

Mainly wooden trinket boxes still, oh a lot of heightmap carving too, partly hence this return to use BlenderGIS plugin. However my CNC design was slightly based on “This Old Tony” gantry design, so played with aluminium a bit but still struggling with MS, but its still fun learning. Also in process of making a lathe too, then can finish my plastic injection machine.
Here’s some machinist p0rn…

Very cool. Them ancient Greeks were pretty smart.
There are a few of us on here using blender for cnc. I use it for pattern design and development. Export as STL or grey scale height maps.
If you are making your own tools, a lot of kudos. Way beyond my skills.
Hopefully your lathe is done soon. Really enjoy turning. Don’t do it enough.
TBH, I also skilled up on FeeCAD, but its no Blender, so I design in Blender and sometimes export to FreeCAD, but FreeCAD for quick cutouts. FYI, I use dmap2gcode for heightmap carving and fengrave for v carving… Hint to Blender mods, these are in python, would be easy to slip into Blender, yay 
I did always use Blender for 3D printing, until I started using ABS (so can smooth with acetate) and ran into shrinkage, so parametric design became an influencing factor.
In my years I’ve used the majority of CAD packages, and by far I find Blender the fastest and most enjoyable to use, I even still use right click.
