    Well, it was super close.

    There were some beautiful entries, I'm sure Chohole would be tickled pink by this challenge. I imagine she's up in Heaven waving her Shillelagh around, having a chuckle.

    1) The GRAND WINNER of the Carrara Challenge #59 is  Namtar3D with their ethereal work entitled "Waiting."

    2) Coming up very close behind with the Second most votes was SileneUK with her beautiful work "Welsh Waterfall."

    3) In Third Place was the   indomitable mschack  with Heavenly Solitude 

    4) In fourth place, on an almost equal footing was Bunyip02, Stezza, Shlomi Laszlo, Unified Brain, Diomede - all talented artists delivering heart felt work.

     

    Thanks so much to everyone who participated in this challange and to everyone who made the effort to vote!

    As you know, there were no prizes in this challenge but I am sure that Daz, in their kindness, will continue to sponsor us. 

    The Mantle for deciding and running the next Challange, Challenge #60 (!) falls firstly upon NAMTAR3D, and, should Namtar3d decline, thence to SILENEUK 

    If you need advice please message myself or Unified Brain, or Diomede, or any of the other previous challnge winners.

    We can advise you of appropriate contacts and  other protocols that might come in handy.

     

    Thanks again :)

    Congrats to the winners, thanks to Headwax for being host !!!

  • SileneUKSileneUK Posts: 1,975

    Thanks for the votes! Everyone had such great ideas and loved all the art. heart

    It was fun remembering Chohole this way... I almost preferred it to a prize contest to be honest.  I hope Namtar is available as I have some serious family problems right now that will be taking a lot of time for the forseeable future so could not do any hosting even with help. We will be doing much more grandparenting than expected because of custody issues. sad

    Anyways, the contest was a great idea!  heart

    yes Silene

    well done everybody... smiley

    great renders Pam would love heart 

  • UnifiedBrainUnifiedBrain Posts: 3,588

    Good work from everyone.  An inspired theme HW.  Thanks for hosting again.

    Hoping Namtar is good for the next one!

  • HeadwaxHeadwax Posts: 9,987

    thanks for all the thanks - thank you to everyone who participated.

     

    I haven't heard from @namtar3d .

    I'll send a PM :)

    @SileneUK I hope thing ssettle down for you. Sounds sticky.

    @Diomede, is there something you are keeping from us? Villa of Diomede - Pompeii Sites

    Hi there, thank you all for your votes :D 

    Well, i'm pretty bad at it. TBH i would prefer someone else take the host. 

    About the theme, my vote would be just for "Day of the Dead (or Halloween)" theme.  That can be a scene of mexican tradition of the Day of the Death like an offering, a "Catrina", a scary scene from a movie, a Halloween decoration, a pumpkin head, a scene of the aztec underworld "mictlan", etc.

    Hey Namtar, you already have a theme.  That's half the battle. :)

    There is never any pressure to be host.  But I'm sending you a PM to explore the idea.

    Thanks for doing that UB _ I ran out of steam on the last two otherwise would do it.

    We are coming out of lockdown soon and I will be working my backside off trying to catch up on two months? worth of work

    If Namatar doesnt want to do it we can always have a break - the next one is sixty so should be done with lots of gusto and a break before wouldn't hurt

    I was thinking to ask for starters (ie people who were interested in participating) before we start the next challenge - to make it worh the while

    You have already stepped up a bunch lately.  The problem is, your work (which is exceptional) has been super exceptional lately.  As a result, you keep winning. smiley  While I am glad to see you getting the well-deserved wins, it is unfair to ask you to keep hosting, or to cover every little detail.

    We are coming out of lockdown soon and I will be working my backside off trying to catch up on two months? worth of work

    As the political pendulumn swings to the left worldwide, only one thing has really caught me by surprise - the harshness of the lockdowns in Australia.  I wish you luck in catching up.

    If Namatar doesnt want to do it we can always have a break - the next one is sixty so should be done with lots of gusto and a break before wouldn't hurt

    I have not heard back from Namtar.  A break is always possible.  Another option is to ask mschack, who finished 3rd. 

    I was thinking to ask for starters (ie people who were interested in participating) before we start the next challenge - to make it worh the while

    I've had the same idea for a while.  When enough artists commit, we begin.  But committment for some (those who have the tine) might also depend on who is the host, or the actual theme.  And there are always some who will say that a committment "takes the fun out of it," or something similar.  Not easy to please everyone. :)

  • DiomedeDiomede Posts: 15,168

    I am a commit.  That means I intend to participate in the next challenge, whenever it is held.

  • StezzaStezza Posts: 8,054

    just sayin' I liked this challenge with no $$ prizes.. 

    yes

    ready for the next ( I even have a theme idea but you'll never know what it is ) bwa hahahaha devil

     

  • Bunyip02Bunyip02 Posts: 8,602

    Also ready for the next, also had a theme idea as well !!!

    thanks UB,

    plus one great for the committed :) me I am comitted too - they will let me out soooon 

    have we heard from Namatar? I sent them a message a while ago but no response

    if not I'll start a thread asking for theme ideas and for people to put up hands to be committed :)

    then we can vote on the theme ideas and off we go go for Numero 60.

    I'll host if noone elses wants too, but not sure how much free time I will have to cheer people on!

    Have not heard from Namtar.

    It does sound like there are several folks who are willing to host.  But if you want to start a thread asking for ideas and committments, and you are willing to host another, that is fine also.  You started the Challenges, so I'm good with whatever you decide. :)

  • HeadwaxHeadwax Posts: 9,987

    Thanks UB :) I'll wait a while and see who puts their hand up I think.

    cheers from Oz!
