Thanksgiving Dinner...to eat or to be eaten?!? - Little does Thom Turkey realize the dangerous game he is playing in the process of gathering up some last minute extras for his Thanksgiving dinner...he is about to become the main course at another's table.
Seems to be a problem with the Porsimo site--just tried to go there through Google and got an error. I will double check it when I have access to my computer @ home. I might have made a typo.
I just tried the Porsimo link and it worked for me. Maybe the problem has passed.
Glad to know it's working now. Thanks for the kind comments. It was a challenge finding a gunsight in order to complete the vision I had for this render. I'm actually really pleased with how it turned out.
It's some musician's birthday today. Now who was it? Hmmm...oh, yeah! Music2u4u!
Happy Birthday!
Dana
WHAT!!!!!!!!!
It's music's birthday and NO pies ??????
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUSIC
Now come a little closer.... Closer.... SPLAT!!!!!!!!!
Happy birthday big guy we love ya.
Thank all of you nuts for the happy birthday. I had to work at the clinic all day until around 7:30 PM. so I was really tired when I got home.
My birthday dinner?....a can of Campbell's chicken noodle soup with saltines crumbled up in it, and two fresh rolls with home made chicken salad in them, and a big Welche's grape juice on crushed ice in my favorite cup. The perfect bed meal. Got to watch my "story" while I ate in the bed...Days of our Lives!
Just a sweet peaceful birthday dinner, that I thourghly enjoyed.
Dorsey...I remember that picture of me and Jimi, someone asked me what I was saying to him there, I was telling him that, not only was his guitar upside down, but the "Fender" lettering was backwards up at the top of the guitar. He just replied "Can you dig it?" then closed his eyes and left for a while.
Here's one of me jamming with the Beatles!...and my favorite one...with the Cleavers!!!!!
Thanks for the birthday pie Jeeperz, even though it was all over the place...hehehe.
Nice work! But didn't anyone ever tell her, you don't bring a knife to a gun fight? Especially a throwing knife. The way she's holding that, if she tries to use it she'll cut off her thumb and a couple fingers, and hardly scratch her opponent! Game over.

Good catch, Dana! ;) And I appreciate your link to the gallery, not just the first of four parts (or each individual part, though that might have upped your freebie count) for the multipart character download, Odaa. Let me tally up the numbers here...
All links check out: ENTRY ACCEPTED! PM me your email for your entry gift.

If she is a competent Martial Artist, she won't need the knife. At that range, she could disarm him faster than he could react. We train specifically for those situations. :-)

Unless he, too, is well trained.
Dana
He's holding the pistol so close to her that the barrel is touching her head. Either he's a poseur, or his weapon is also a distraction...
Here is Odaa's character pose that she made for me. Thank you very much! He is still a work in progress, lighting, shading and such but is he not cool. She got the nose perfect.

The theme reminded me of the short story from Roald Dahl called "The Wish".
It is the story of a boy who decides to play a game with the pattern of the carpet in the room. The imagines that the red parts are hot coal and the black parts are snake pits. Only the yellow parts are safe to tread on. He is sure that if he makes it across the carpet to the door only using the yellow parts he will get a puppy for his birthday. The story ends with the boy loosing his balance and falling onto a black part of the carpet, simply vanishing (the last sentence tells us that his mother is searching for him in behind the house).
So it was a most dangerous game he was playing. Below you can find my depiction of that scene.

Happy Birthday Music. May you have lots of presents, some wonderful cake and very good friends to celebrate with on this day.

Hope the guy shows up. Mind you, the site seems to be running awfully slow today.
Happy Music, Buttday!

Awesome kitbash (is that the correct use of that word?) of those photos. It actually looks like it was one photo!

Kendall
thank you, Eustace and Dana!
Kendall: yeah, somewhere in the process of making the pic I concluded the knife was probably a distraction and she had other tricks up her sleeve. ;)
Distractions are good.

Roald Dahl's "The Wish"
by Sigrid
Well done! Very imaginitive, and well depicted. I like the expression of surprised fear on his face. He's in trouble!
Dana
An imagination is a powerful tool. Very nice.
