Ooooo... Nice theme! This month should prove to be very... mysterious....
I'm bored... so let's get the ball rolling then...
Not An Entry ... yet (not enough freebies)
Something had woken her up. As she peeped out of her window towards the church of St Beagle Of The Euphemism, Polly Popopalis' was aghast - why on earth had Reverend McWorzel placed his life size reproduction of the false Balok puppet on this corner, when it was almost certain to rain tonight ?
Another Not An Entry ... yet (not enough freebies)
As Polly Popalis walked home from the bus stop at the end of her late shift she glanced at the clock on the church of St Beagle Of The Euphemism, as usual. But tonight she let out a shriek of surprise ! It was only five to seven, so she'd left work over three hours early ! And it was unusually dark too for five to seven, seeing as it was the middle of summer. And there was nobody else around, except for Reverend McWorzel, vicar of the parish of Outsmouth - which was also very unusual* for five to seven on a summer evening. As soon as she got up tomorrow morning she was going to have to get to the bottom of this little mystery.
*Edit (for clarification): It's the "nobody being around at five to seven in the middle of summer" that's unusual here, not the "Reverend McWorzel being vicar of the parish of Outsmouth" bit. Although Sigismund Olaf McWorzel being vicar of the parish of Outsmouth is actually quite unusual too. But that's another story entirely.
*Edit 2 (links to the freebies I did use):
Super cool, @3dcheapskate!
Nice! I love the back story. I would be a little unnerved if I saw that thing staring at me from the corner... very creepy!
I was bored too, and this is a great theme!!!
It all starts with a box...

Hmm.. mysterious box in a dark room... for some reason, touching it doesn't sound like a great idea...
Very dramatic! Love the tension in the scene.
Great idea !
Why do I get the feeling that her name's Penny* ?
*as in the diminutive of Pandora...
)
*or perhaps as in Inspector Gadget's neice (edited to add this alternative, after reading perlk's post below
Oh, I thought it was the Inspector Gadget reference! Ha ha!
Thanks! I feel like there are very limited uses for this one prop, but I really wanted to use it since it is SO NEAT looking. I imagine knives might pop out or something scary. No, no. Maybe there's candy inside. Yes, candy!
Candy sounds good - perhaps a Miskatonic Surprise chocolate egg for kids ?
Ingredients:
- Broken eggs from Perpetual Revision's "Messy Baker" Set 6: Butter & Eggs - "Messy Baker" Set 6: Butter & Eggs - Poser - ShareCG
- EldritchCellar's "Cthog" - Cthog - Poser - ShareCG
Holy crap that's creepy!!!
Ummm... remind me to never drop by your house for Halloween!
or Easter
Saphirewild,
I have a question. I couldn't find this anywhere, but then I'm a bit lost trying to find anything in these forums. Anyway, thought I might give this May Challenge a try.
So, what about an item that is not a freebie and was not purchased. I modelled an item and imported it into Studio 4.15 myself. So where does this fit, is it a non counting item either way?
Thanks
Hi BronzeDragon!
Welcome to the freebie challenge! If it is your own creation, it is a non-counted item either way unless you actually share it as a downloadable.
A guilt that I like!
Sky77 - Thanks for the answer. Maybe I will enter.
Richard an Tracy - Also thanks for those items and all the poses. Yes, I do plan on making what I've done a freebie, about 18 earrings and some other stuff to. I asked for someone to look over what I've done and make comments, only two people responded, and only one of them actually commented. From what was saaid I still need to do a couple of things, but haven't found a quick and easy way to do it. If you don't go there, I've post several sets of stuff over at ShareCG.
And again, thanks for the things you'll made into freebies.
I do hope you do enter this contest!!
Sky77 and the others are right they do count as "No Count" if you are not sharing them as freebies!
I hope this helps you

The Witch Princess
She's a mystery for people around her: strange girl, lonely, introvert, strange things happen when she's around... They call her a freak, they don't understand anything about her: is she a demon or what? The king, her father, locked her in the tower because he's afraid of her... But is she really evil? Actually her only fault is to have magical powers, maybe one day those powers will save the kingdom...

I love earrings and if you're making them for Genesis 3 or 8, I'll be happy to test them out and make comments :-)
I have benefitted so much from the generosity of others with this hobby, that I have to give something back. A few poses, a few basic scripts & a few models is about all I am competent to offer, so that's what I do.
I hadn't seen your ear-rings, I must admit, which is why there was no comment from me. I tend to use Rendo most when looking for freebies and it was only a few weeks ago that I got a ShareCG login. As for DA.. I have had a login for years, but the password only seems to work from one machine, and it's so difficult finding freebies there. Lazy, that's what I am. I have discovered the HDD on my rendering machine is filling up (just over 50% of 1Tb now) so I'm tending to limit what I download to avoid filling it up entirely. At some point I'll get a new HDD, but with hardware prices being fairly high at the moment, it's going to be later rather than sooner.
Regards,
Richard.
Richard,
I've enclosed two links for you. the first is at ShareCG, which shows my uploads there, about 33 items in 7 or so files. If you can find a use for them ok.
The second is a link to the discussions here about the earings. It has a picture of what they look like. So far though, they are static and do not articulate each part. That was the suggestion that was made. They are for G8F but are not parented to the character yet.
My other stuff was done as freebies over at Fantasy Atic 3D. Those are, however, just obj files. And you will have to look for them as I don't have the links and I do not go there anymore.
If you wish to continue this I quess it would be best answer the earring post link, thus moving it to that thread - Saphirewild might like that best.

Poor misunderstood girl! The real mystery is where are all these towers with locked up princesses!
Thanks for the link to the magic props! I forgot all about those - too bad PoserAddicts is going out of business.
That is very cool! Looks like the beginning of an epic quest!
Thanks for the links to those gorgeous sky HDRIs!
