Freebie Challenge October 2024 - "Monster Mash '24!" - Entries Thread
The days are getting colder, the nights are getting longer. Fog creeps over the hills and the wind blows blood red leaves from the trees. You know the time is nigh... for another Monster Mash! Bring out all that creeps and skitters, spooks and haunts, slithers and oozes - or we'll put a hex on you! We can't wait to see your best spooky renders!
We're a little late with this challenge, so we're extending it a week into November. The deadline for the October challenge is November 8th!
The use of image generating AI technology (midjourney, stable diffusion, DAZ AI Studio, etc.) is not allowed. The use of items (freebies or paid) that have been created with such technology is also not allowed. We realise it's not always easy to tell; let's all use our best judgement, and you can always ask the person hosting the contest if you're not sure.
The Rules For This Months Freebie Challenge are:
1. A minimum of (5) Freebies must be included in your image along with Links to the freebies you have used. For an item to be considered free it must be offered as a freebie for the whole month. The exception to this rule is all Daz Bi-Weekly Freebies will be allowed throughout the entire month in which they are free as well as the month following their release as a freebie (For a total of 2 months). Also, if a freebie is broken down into multiple downloads/links/parts (IE like if the freebie is broken down into 3 zips etc...)it only counts as 1 freebie, not 3.
2. There will be a Maximum of 5 purchased items.
3. Base figures (All Gen 2,3,4, and Genesis 1,2,3) as well as their general morphs packs (Morphs++ and similar) do not count as a purchased item or a freebie and may be used as needed
4.Your Rendered Picture must be a new render and postwork is allowed but you MUST include a before and after Postwork versions of your entry in the Entry Thread.
5. All DAZ 3D Programs are allowed (IE Bryce, Carrara, Daz Studio and Hexagon) plus Poser for the contest.
6. All entries are subject to the Daz3D TOS Found Here: Terms Of Service
7. You may enter a Maximum of 4 Entries per month.
8. You may edit your entry as much as you like in the main thread but once it is posted to the "Entries Thread" it may not be further modified. Also, if you edit or add things, be sure you update any links or freebie changes you make.
9. The use of image generating AI technology (midjourney, stable diffusion, etc.) is not allowed. The use of items (freebies or paid) that have been created with such technology is also not allowed. We realise it's not always easy to tell; let's all use our best judgement, and you can always ask the person hosting the contest if you're not sure.

Comments
Wasn't really expecting to be the first submission for this contest given how late in the month it is - however, someone has to get us started. Perhaps it's because it's quite tough to find suitable figures that count as freebies - there are a few out there but maybe just take a little more digging.
I have gone very route-one with this but hopefully it will trigger some submissions to this thread from others who can be a bit more creative.

Freebies Used
Obviously the last few of these are barely noticable but in earlier drafts the kitchen looked so fake and empty with empty cupboards so had to add them.
