Freebie Challenge NOV 22 - "Thieves, Robbers, and Fraudsters all around!" - Main Thread
A burglar might steal from innocent citizens, as might a tax-evading rich man. A mouse might steal cheese from the cellar, a charming prince might steal your heart.

@Hylas: Very cool render! Love the expression / posing of the (EDIT) security guard!
Thanks!
@Hylas: very nice render :)
Nicely done @Hylas!!
Now I can not wait to see all of your renders because you all are a talented bunch!!!
Someone was going to steal it so I’m holding it for safekeeping.
Paul, an apprentice knight, was beginning to despair: his dream was to protect his city, not to arrest thieves!
"Hey, Paul. What's for dinner today?" The thief asked.
Paul sighed. Kenders was like children. They did not understand the concept of private property and often mistook the prison for a free inn.
"I don't know, Amari. Try asking the guards." Paul replied. "Ah, stop! What do you want to do with my sword?"
"If you put it in your belt like that, someone will steal it from you. I’m holding it for safekeeping." Amari explained.
"Even the sword? Is stealing my helmet not enough for you?"
"I am not a thief! If you lost your helmet, it's not my fault."
"And what is that helmet sticking out of your bag?"
"This is my helmet!" Amari answered confidently.
"That is my helmet." He corrected her gently.
"Really?" She looked at him perplexed. "Well, if it’s yours, why isn’t your name on it…"

@Dhivael: Nice storytelling, and very fast "delivery", well done!
Not always so easy
Annoyingly, I couldn't find a free baby or pram so had to use purchased assets for the "main" parts so hopefully that won't be frowned apon as against the spirit of the challenge. Also, as you can probably tell I didn't get round to doing a halloween render and so this is doubling up for that - not that this means much since all halloween challenges are over now.

@SofaCitizen: nice dForce work with the dress! love that skull in the handbag, and that baby will be the next Bruce Lee, I guess
. Great render, very funny idea!
@mding, thanks very much for the compliments :) I have been very inspired by the challenges this month!
I was very happy with the dforce dress draping too but had some trouble with the shirt on the thief. I only wanted the sleeves to drop from their original position but couldn't stop it riding up and exposing his lower back. However, I suppose it would naturally ride up a little while stretching for the lillipop so not too upset about that.
I read somewhere in the forum that you can simulate only part of the clothing by weightmapping the item (in your case emphasizing the sleeves). But i can't tell you how to do it, as atm i mostly use the presets from https://www.daz3d.com/dforce-master-cloth-simulation-presets which i guess wouldn't help you here. Anyway, i didn't notice it, thought you planned that look.
Thanks for the recommendation - I have put that item on my wishlist. I do need to work more with weightmapping and playing around with dforce. But, as you say, it does not look un-natural in this image so not worth messing around with it here when I can move on to the next render instead :)
I'm gone for 3 days with limited access to the forum so I won't be able to approve entries for a bit.
@SofaCitizen: absolutely agree, judging from your dress simulation, i even doubt you need the presets i am using atm.
@Hylas: Thanks a lot for that link, i will definitely watch it!
Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed the storytelling.
I will be around for any that need to be checked so no worries @Hylas!

Story:
Kitty, Eveline & Summer have a big exam coming up that they have not studied for because they have been too busy trying to figure out the mystery of the boarding school.
Thus, they break into the classroom at night to find a copy of the exam and take pictures of it with Summer's phone which she managed to hide so that it would not be taken from her.
