Renderosity Contest Winner

I entered three images in the Renderosity Summer Carnival Contest for 2024. The challenge was described as: 

Theme: Pretzel People

Welcome to Pretzel People. In this game challenge, create the craziest, unique, and most creative twisted poses you can come up with. You may submit as many entries as you like, and discuss techniques with each other. Staff will pick the winner at the end of the carnival. You may use pre-made products. No AI.

So, I whipped up three submissions and – huzzah! – I was one of two people to win 4th place. The prize was 5 items from RPublishing. By selecting some bundles, including dinosaurs and military equipment and La Femme 2.0 Pro, that amounted to a bit more than $300 in prizes. The coolest thing is, those are some items that I can definitely use in future projects.

The winning image, by the way, is the battle scene that's not in full (comic book) color.

As per usual, my workflow includes making two renders in Power 13 and compositing them in Clip Studio Paint. Figures this time include Victoria 4 and Herr Cadaver by the incomparable creator, Cybertenko. The color version was created using  the comic book coloring system from Retro Supply Company.

Renderosity - Staff Picks + Poser Pulse

 The other day someone asked me how often my 3D illustration work had been selected for recognition by Renderosity -- and I wasn't sure. There is a way to search this blog for the proper keywords, but to save time I decided to create a running list on this page. For this list, I'm just going to make a list with a link to the blog post and to the original art as it appears on the Renderosity site (in other words, I won't repost the picture here). Also, for ease of maintenance, I'm going to add the newest items to the top of the list.
