Interesting, think this is the first weekend ive seen (still being new here) that there are no “open” entries (not that it matters). Some nice work and cool ideas, good job to all.

Rhodexa · July 29, 2020, 1:15am

@Roobsel You created a really clean, simple and stylized render. Great for Wallpapers. I liked it!

@Kanga3020 Good composition! i really love the details in the telescope, plus, looks really clean

@mirek_snd Honestly, the scene is a little confusing to me, but the amount of detail you added is awesome!

Those are my votes…
Happy week, team!

Dreaming of great journeys

KickAir_8P · July 30, 2020, 12:54am

Congrats mirek_snd!

This week my votes went to SidewaysUpJoe’s Only in the Desert (dreamy sky), Gismo_Wander’s look back (a cosmic Suzanne!), and rigoletto’s No space to play (the little teddy bear’s a gut punch).

Also enjoyed purbosky’s Stellarium (I’d’ve voted for this, reminds me of some old sci-fi book covers), Millani’s Zero-G Astronomy (ha!), Helge’s Astronome (intriguing), catblue44’s A method (now that’s a skylight!), EricBearic’s erics-solarsystem-render1 (little green Suzanne aliens!), mirek_snd’s Dreaming of great journeys (kinda melancholy), Blendede’s Chocolate Suzanne in Space (looks yummy!), Kaylee_J’s Worlds (beautiful sense of desolation), Xeofrios’s What’s That? (like that starry sky, and I’m impressed when somebody gets a nice human figure done inside the timeframe), deltaray’s cosmic-microwave-background-map (what it says on the tin, like your take on this), Kanga3020’s Reflections (effective composition, convincing 'scope), unyxium’s Space Telescope (like that model), beau11’s Eye to the Universe (lovely effect), I_don_t_know’s Tweed space suit (yeah, that makes sense), Roobsel’s Phantasya (nice planet, I like how the exaggerated bump/displacement looks on it), FlyingBanana’s Stargazing Rover (I believe in ice, Rover believes in stars), david.speer’s Observatory (swirly!), fcharr’s My Night Sky (like how the curtains came out, and that’s a good-looking telescope), dragerx001’s spacescape (beautiful), Rhodexa’s Closest Approach (nice lighting on that probe), and RayVelcoro’s 64itled (nice concept, even unfinished looks good).

Thanks to everyone for all the votes! I wasn’t expect to win this one with my quick entry but I had much fun making it.
Congrats to all participants!

RayVelcoro · July 30, 2020, 9:04am

Congrats on the win, • mirek_snd! well desirved. I was surprised to see my WIP came in 2th. Thx guys!

KickAir_8P · July 31, 2020, 5:15pm

Yep, that’s the sort of thing that takes me more than 4 or 5 days to do. Ah, well – practice, practice, practice!

Xeofrios · August 1, 2020, 5:49pm

Jeez this is literally like my fourth figure sculpt! And I don’t know anything about anatomy whatsoever. The figure is pretty anatomically pants if u ask me.

KickAir_8P · August 1, 2020, 5:51pm

You misunderstand – my point was that I need a lot more practice before I’ll be able to get something that good done inside of a Weekend Challenge timeframe.

Xeofrios · August 1, 2020, 5:59pm

It’s really not that hard if you try! Try giving it a shot. I am not a pro of any sorts, so why can’t you?

KickAir_8P · August 1, 2020, 6:08pm

I’d rather not go into detail here about my circumstances and disabilities. I can model a partial human figure, but it’d take me longer than I have during a Weekend Challenge timeframe. With more practice I’ll eventually get fast enough at it, I’m sure. In the meantime I’ll admire those who do, and do what I can.
