Antocalypse Now
Pure, cycles 1024 samples, ~3 min. rendertime, my first idea was the ants battling against an bully burning them with an magnifying glass, but that seems to much complicated so i turned to lego soldiers.
All made in blender. The textures are made in gimp, for the surfboard i used an original and fixed the bad lighting on it. Here is a nice tutorial for simple facial expressions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ziC5eO6B1sc
Was fun, but i spent to much time instead of fixing my dripping water tap this weekend. :smiley:

Nice render rigoletto. I like the composition and colors in this image.

The Lighted Stage Part Deux

Open entry, 1000 samples. The drums were taken from Music :: The Lighted Stage (franciscocharrua.com), and the members of what resembles Rush are clones of the guy in In the Shadows :: Underneath a Gas Lamp (franciscocharrua.com).

PS: the playground could be a garden: Rush - The Garden (Lyrics) - YouTube

If you have time before the contest ends, I think you might try making the red shovel read better.

(And also the water looks a little like quicksilver)

Title: Playground Builder

Not sure if I’ll have time to finish this tomorrow, so posting what I have.

Neat idea.

Thanks, i played alot around with the colors, i tried to make it more colorful, but at least lower saturation and less sun made it. The composition was a bit fiddly cause the sizes are not correct, the far away units are all scaled down, maybe a bit to much.
