@Totte #02 With a rocket launcher, definitely not helpleass.... but if the eccentric is unable to help I guess you will have to keep her entertained until the next ferry leaves tomorrow. Good one!
@bohemian3 #2 Methinks that she is testing her Wow power.... If she can cause a sailor to miss the wind and tide, then he must really care.... Good work!
Finally got my ducks in a row, so here we go! (I haven’t touched my DAZ inventory spreadsheet since November of 2019 – and I’m still not sure I have everything accounted for.)
Pull #1 (numbers generated by random.org):
5075 – Riven
5820 – Classic Deco
126 – Reception Area
4707 – Orestes Cobwebs (Apparently, somebody was really late!)
Hmm, I think this is what would be colloquially known as a ‘hodge-podge’. Or a “Godawful mess”; tough call!
Now to rummage through my libraries to find out what-all this crap is!
Pray for me, I’m going in…!
Interesting pull indeed Ken, and great to see you back in the RRRRR! (Still need to remember to make 5, not 4 R:s)
Totte Pull #3
#4106 Marielle Hair 13950
#617 Beach Pod 19476
#560 Bar Maid Textures 20590
#3579 Jump Your Way 14866

Pulled quite old stuff, Genesis it looks like from the SKUs.
Ken OBanion! Wow, so good to see you back! Your wit has not diminished over time.
Here is my first RRRRR draw:
I struck out Ultimate Pose Master, because it is a tool that wouldn't really show up as a recognizable item in the render. I hope that is OK. At least I got fairly recent (non-V4) stuff - everything is SKU over 60000! Hmmm. I must be buying too much recent stuff.
And @barbult! Great to see you too! And yes, tools like that doesn't really show off, so an absolutely correct descision.
Well I've been having a prolonged break too, but I thought I might have been absent for long enough now. The theme sounds good - I'm expecting a lot (more) great ideas.
My first pull:
Doctor Shadow for Darius 6 (SKU 20816)
Never More (SKU 10430)
Dragon Shuriken - 18 Piece Throwing Star Set (SKU 22904)
Convergence Outfit Textures (SKU 60765)
Almost forgot to post this - oops:
Luci #1 - great start, you've obviously not lost your touch!
Totte #1 - another fine idea. The 'droid in the bin is a great touch.
#2 - lovely render actually! And another neat idea.
bohemian3 #1 - another fun idea. The imp looks really impish!
#2 - he certainly doesn't look very keen to set off. Lovely lighting too.
I have to wait until my data plan cycles (tomorrow) before I can upload my render; once I hit my bandwidth limit (which typically is about four days into the billing cycle), I get throttled back to damn near dial-up speeds! Meanwhile, it’s five o’clock (well, five-till; close enough!), and there’s a Martini in front of me (and a little to my left; thank goodness I’m at least semi-ambidextrous -- well, for the important things, anyway!), and that means it’s time to move on to Round 2!
The pull:
2963 – Colors for Love Me Hair (Love Me Hair is for V4)
37 – Giselle for V4 (How convenient!)
1724 – Gamine (G3F; that one’s a little freaky-sounding, I don’t know…!)
6574 – Cozy for Day Dreamer (G3F)
Victoria 4 and Genesis 3; I haven’t done anything with V4 in ages!
*Sigh* Whatever….
UPDATE: While searching for the Colors for Love Me Hair package, I discovered an entire order that I somehow neglected to download! From August of 2015! Thirty-three items, mostly hair and hair textures. (Practically all Platinum Club, too, so you know I got some really tasty deals on them!)
You can blame the Martinis if you want. I am.
And on an almost-but-not-entirely-unrelated note: I just attained level 244 in Windows Solitaire. Do you know what that means?
It means I seriously need to get a freakin' LIFE, that's what it means!
Obviously, I've been away from the RRRR(R) for far too long...!
This looks like fun. Guess I'll give it a shot!
Pull #1
289 Willow Creek
423 Level 19
160 Wasteland Plants High Resolution Instant Eco Systems
360 Polyantha Rose Dress for Genesis 8 Female(s)
@MelanieL: great to see you back, and welcome @aprilshowers2065, it is a fun contest!
Yes I must say this is the most fun contest I have seen on the forum!!!
That being said I have to set up my list so it may be a couple days before I can start!

The Martial Artist
I was on my way, but a crazy martial arts guy insisted that I sit and watch his full routine. Hey, he had a whole bunch of scary pointy things, so I had to stay and watch.
Used:
Doctor Shadow for Darius 6
Never More
Dragon Shuriken - 18 Piece Throwing Star Set
Convergence Outfit Textures
Also Used:
Convergence Outfit for G8M (obviously!)
Stylish Shaved Hair for G3M and G8M
Fighting Monk for G2M
Urban Backstreet (the wall and fence in the middle ground)
CityScapes Backdrops (background buildings)
Fun, fun, stuff coming so far. Working on my next one.
In the meantime ... two handy Excel Formulas I use to get my picks:
=RANDBETWEEN(1,4878) where 4878 is the number of your DAZ items. Oh dear, I own 4878 products? That's scary.
=CELL("contents",INDIRECT("A"&H1)) Where A is the column your product name is in, and H1 is the random number generated. Also, the number is generated each time you edit / save so copy and paste values to get your pick.
Oh, and finally started on my DAZ Gallery, Link below - shameless, thirsty request for likes ;)
That's basically the formula I've always used, bohemian3 - only I have 8849 products in the list now (even scarier!)
My second pull:
The Songstress (SKU 12686) - oh dear, I'll have to attach the external drive I moved all my pre-Genesis stuff to
Ship Dolphin (SKU 18134)
dForce Thadeus Hair for Genesis 3 & 8 Male(s) (SKU 67957)
The Creeper Collection (SKU 16188)
Okay, we are go for throttle-up! (Famous last words; okay, next to last. The actual last words were, if memory serves, "Oh, s**t!")
anyway, here's my first render.
Also used:
Mars Explorers for Genesis 2 Female
Sitting Pretty (Poses for Genesis 2 Female)
FW Eliot for Michael 7
Elven Hair for Genesis 3 Males
H & C Business Suit A for Genesis 3 Males
H & C Medical Scrubs Set for Genesis 3 Males
Rendered in 3Delight, just because I was feeling a bit nostalgic today! And now that I have, remind me not to do it again! (I had forgotten just how much of a pain in the never-mind-precisely-where 3Delight can be when it comes to rendering skin surfaces! Took for-freakin’-EVER!)

TITLE: Overkill Much, Miss Spelvin…?
“Well, this certainly explains why you’ve been coming in late every day since the lockdown ended. You know, a simple face-covering would have been entirely adequate, and would save a lot of time. And where the hell is the custodian!? This place is a mess!”
“He wasn’t considered ‘essential’.”
“I would beg to differ!”
That really captures the whole lockdown thing.
@MelanieL #01 Not only were you being polite, but you also probably learned some awesome moves that you can not wait to try out. On anyone who is critical of your judgement. Good one!
@Ken Obanion #01 To the moon, Miss Spelvin. that is where the idiot who laid off the janitor is going. Nice one, Ken!
@Saphirewil: Great to see you back too Saphirewild
@MelanieL #1: I really hope he learned a few moves, useful when the boss gets angry, good one!
@Ken_OBanion #1: You haven't lost your wits, and a good lockdown render!
Great to see you back, Ken OBanion, MelanieL and barbult! It's been a long time.
and Saphirewild (but it hasn't been as long.
)
Welcome, aprilshowers2065!
Helped a Stranger...
"Sorry I'm late for work - A couple celebrating their 25th anniversary asked me to snap a picture. The old guy was trying to look all sexy, and that sorta creeped me out. But then a waitress-slash-actress-slash-student asked to spray paint me and pose for a performance art piece she is doing for drama school. I was just being nice... and you're going to write me up for being late?..."
"Oh. I suppose I shold go home and shower. Hope I don't run into any strangers needing help."
@bohemian3 #3 What a good sport! or maybe he just hates his job.... well done!

There's a Hole in my Bucket!
Hello? Yes, this is Floyd Dazzle. I'm going to be late for my eye appointment. I'm not done painting my cottage. The siding is rough wood, like tree bark and it is covered with moss. My brush is too small and there's a hole in my bucket. But don't worry. I'm still wearing the protective goggles you gave me!
@Barbult #01 Yo, Floyd! First you use the big brush..... THEN you use the little brush.... and remember to put your phone on airplane mode.... Excellent!
Ken OBanion - better safe than sorry! Nice start.
bohemian3 - and he looks a picture! Great stuff.
barbult - that is a really small brush - maybe he started out to make a painting of the cottage to hang on the wall but got confused? Good work.
And thanks Gopherus, Totte and Luci.

A Modern Siren
He had to stop the boat - maybe she needed help?
But when she started singing, nothing else in the world seemed to matter. Even the grasshopper who had hitched a ride seemed entranced.

The Creeper Collection (Grasshopper, Jumping Spider and Lady Bug)
Also Used:

Weekend Fun for Genesis 2 Female(s) (SKU 20289)
DAZ Dragon 3 Morphs (SKU 18161)
Thanks, MelanieL and bohemian3.
Totte #2 Maybe the eccentric milionaire will hire her as a bodyguard?
bohemian3#2 The outfit should serve him well in a squall. Lovely atmosphere.
MelanieL#1 That seems like a valid excuse, and he seems to really want an audience.
obanion#1 LOL, very timely and so Ken!
bohemian3#3 A very original excuse. I hope his employer agreed. Great paint job too!
barbult#1 A wonderful array of excuses. Floyd is great with them but not so much with the painting. My Bucket's Got a Hole In It is a song Floyd would know.
MelanieL#2 Beautiful render - gives the feeling of time stopping.
My second render is late because it came out badly and I had to turn it into a comic, which is requiring more work than expected...
