It looks like it, though it wasn't my intention at start. But that backdrop looked interesting and that Dragania outfit and character turned a bit darker then I expected so I decided to go in that direction :). I wanted to try that Pyramid and those Egyptian like temples and monuments from Joe's site (was inspired by last month Lord Ganthor use of his Spooky Tree), and also morphing ground from Porsimo site (and few other items from there also). I started with Viking outfit :) very nice one too, and all together everything works very good. Ancient history is for me interesting and I am just lately into it a bit so I tried to make one picture that has atmosphere like that, probably will try to do more.
Hey what did I miss?! I'm out for just a couple of days and the number of entries more than double and we get honored by a visit from Music himself... and I missed it all!
A little background... the loss my family suffered was my aunt's husband, my uncle Sam. He was a remarkable kind of man, flawed as we all are, but always there for his family and loved ones. The number of times he was there for my family I simply cannot count. Anyway, Sam was in love with all things western - movies, history, art, you name it and we have always teased that he must have been a cowboy in a past life. In fact, a couple of years ago, he and my aunt had moved back to his home town in Mississippi to build their house and raise horses.
So there you have it... this is how I am likely to always see my uncle; a loved, loving, amazing man that will be sorely missed.
Cowboy Sam
Hey Chelle! I was wondering where you disappeared to. Sorry to hear about your loss. That's a wonderful tribute to your uncle.
Another month has flown by with more ideas about renders than time to materialize them. Oh well, may be next month will afford me more grace!
There is still time for those hard working artists out there who still want to enter! You still have until midnight DAZ time (Mountain Standard Time, methinks!) before your computer turns into a pumpkin...
Ok. While we wait for all those last minute entries I know will pour in, an off topic question for your entertainment(?) or at least to make you go "hmmmm." Relating to my prior reference to Cinderella's carriage... why didn't her glass slippers go "poof" with everything else when the clock struck midnight??? Is Disney just messin' with my mind?
This is an NAE.
Title: Your Move
Rendered with DAZ Studio 4.8, 3Delight, Post work to put my name on it.
One of my memories was when Star Trek introduced 3D chess. I bugged my mom for a chess set and I pestered my Dad, brothers and sister to play with me. This is a nod to that time, when evenings got dark early and we would play a game of chess.

Han Solo suggested, "Let the Wookie win!" I think that suggestion would be strongly made here! Let the Alien win! Nice job!
LOL Dana, thanks. Vicky will think about it. I am rebuilding my Content library because I was not so careful when I installed 4.8 and I wiped out my old Valentine database. So this render started out with me figuring out where I should put Fisty's chess set and that led to going down memory lane.

I would think twice about trying to take the Alien's "Queen".

Yikes, Milos! Those are memories that I'm not sure I wanna have!
Now that is a sweet memory... some of my favorite kinds!
Terrific render. Nice use of the background image!
Thank you for the link to the glasses... I'm surprised I hadn't seen those.
