Is this pure or open?
I’m new to the blender community. I don’t I don’t know what pure and open means in this context. Could you please explain that to me?

“Jazz Band”
(Open because I used 3 cc0 textures. Two rust textures and a metal texture for the floor. The metal texture used for the hardware is a custom procedural one. I also used a cc0 studio lighting hdri.)
It still has a few issues, but I’m happy with the way it turned out. I used the reference @rigoletto used, as well as some others I found on the internet.
The workflow proved to be efficient. I first created assets (mostly from the bolt factory addon, but some of my own), then I was able to freely arrange them to create characters as well as props. The bolt factory had some issues though, mainly wrong scale and bad geometry at times, so it took a bit of fiddling around to get them to work well. I used a cycles bevel shader to smooth out those edges. Bevel modifier doesn’t play nice with bolt factory assets.
Oh, and if you’re also a fan of lesser known jazz bands, I recommend taking a look at two of my favorite artists:

Nice
Would like to see it in an “horror” lightning 
@Helge: Walking animation for this guy please.
@Cazbarr: Nice, just at the first glance i thougt, why are there a pair of eyes on the body
@Zorro_Weaver: My favorite
Thanks for the feedback . I was also wondering if I should have tried to make it look a bit more ‘horror’. If I get time this evening, I might still try to alter the lighting, deadline permitting…

Here’s my entry - pure. I guess I was late to getting the hint about making screws, I did it from scratch with the screw modifier - then found that the boolean really did not want to subtract a screwed object from another to make a nut. I had to improvise. I used Paint to modify the box label.

Unfortunately I didn’t have time (nor a good idea) to participate this round - I had never heard or seen anything of these “Screw Man” figures before either.
Yesterday I took a friend’s cat to the vet and when I was paying the bill I found this on the counter:
This is a perfect example of coincidence
