Happy Easter (belated) everyone!
So many ideas - I hope I can get just one in! I thought sheltering in with all this COVID stuff would give me more time to do some art but working from home with family around has actually made it even harder!
I hope everyone is well and staying safe where ever you may all be!
I sure hope you get a chance to have some fun and render this month @Sky77!!
The whole COVID-19 situation put me in a downer mood. I have only just gotten interested again in doing either art or music. I am now starting to feel both again.
----
Contest Question: Do the enviroments in the Grimes Free Bundle qualify as free under contest rules? I don't think I will use any this time around, but would be nice to know.
https://daz3d.com/grimes-free-bundle
Yes they will count this month or maybe even more months not sure yet!
Do the Freebies from HiveWire this month count as well?
Just like rendo's freebies yes they count!

Good to see somebody else entering - I was half-expecting to win 1st, 2nd and 3rd* prizes by default because I was the only person who entered !
*Yes, I do have a few more stupid ideas lined up...
Yeah I had a bit of time on my hands so thought I would put in an entry. :)
NAE (Not An Entry)
When I see Kinder Surprise eggs I always imagine something like this...
Luckily that's as far as my inspiration got with this picture. Adding anything else would be too much work.
Broken eggs from Perpetual Revision's "Messy Baker" Set 6: Butter & Eggs - https://www.sharecg.com/v/92676/view/11/Poser/Messy-Baker-Set-6-Butter-Eggs
EldritchCellar's "Cthog" - https://sharecg.com/v/82589/browse/11/Poser/Cthog
I know I sure would not like to see that in an egg that I crack!!
Finally got mine done! I'm running late on these lately!
Getting Ready For Next Year
It takes the Easter Bunny a loooooooong time to paint all those eggs. How do they stay fresh? Holiday magic!
