Ok, I've decided that since this community has given so much to me, I'd like to give something back, so I am running a contest. The prize will be a $25 gift certificate to the Renderosity Marketplace that I personally will purchase for the winner once he/she has been announced. Here are the rules: The theme: FEMALE FANTASY. You are to portray a strong female fantasy character in any way you see fit (assuming it does not violate the TOS, obviously) -- This can be, therefore, anything ranging from a sorceress, to a medieval princess, or a warrior.... whatever. Software: Obviously, POSER, since I'm posting it in this forum. However, you may use any other software in conjunction with it: Bryce, Photoshop, PSP, whatever you like. Postwork: ALLOWED. However little, or however much you wish. Deadline for submission: Will be at noon, Renderosity server time, Saturday, May 22 (my birthday!!). You must post your entry in the Poser gallery, not in the forum here, with "Ferguson's Fantasy Contest" as the title. I will be running searches under that title, so if you don't write it exactly, I won't find it, and your entry won't count. :( I know there are countless fabulous artists here at renderosity, so please make sure it counts!! :) ONE entry per person please. Contest starts today. :))) If I haven't been clear on anything, feel free to post your questions here and I will answer them. :) Thanks, and I hope everyone enjoys themselves! :)

My kind of game. =P I love to give it a try at least...

Please do!! And tell your friends because I think it would be a lot more fun to have more people playing. :)

Great Idea! I'm in! Good luck to all!

Cool, I'm thrilled!! I can't wait to see what people come up with, this is so exciting!!

Very cool! I'll give it a go aswell :)

YAY, Jenni!! :)

Count me in. :)

How kind of you to put up a prize and everything. I will go get rendering right now! Hugs Elgyfu

You guys rule. :) And as for kindness, well you know what, I've had generosity bestowed upon me by the members of this community, much beyond my imagination... it's the least I can do.. and is only the first of many things, I hope. :) ps/ I forgot to mention this, I just noticed, but these must be new images, not posted previously. Sorry for the ommission, folks!

Well I'm sure my meager efforts will be eclipsed by others but I'm game!

I'm thrilled everyone is so cool about this. :) And I will run other contests in the future too. :)

I'd give it a shot!

Great!!!:O)

Oh YES!!!! I am so in waves hi to Jess, Jenni, and Dall this is a great challenge :o)

HI BACK, JANIE! :))

Count me in, too! My favorite genre, thank you for the contest!

Cool, FlyByNight, and it's my favourite genre too, so... :) (although I really need to start using Michael more, I think). Glad to see you on board!

Hope you don't mind if I give this a try too. ;)

Not at all!!!:)

I'm in, hopefully! :)

Count me in! :)

I would love to give it a try, but I would like to know if it would be OK to render it in Vue or do you want it to be rendered in Poser? genny

Female Fantasy? Kind of a stretch for me wink, but I'm in!

What the heck....I will give it a shot as well...I need something to keep me occupied :-) XXX Love you Moron....

Right on, I'm excited that so many people are playing... yes, you can all still join, and of course it can be rendered in Vue, just as long as it's a Poser character. :O)

Well let's just see if I can find a little time to get something done myself. Very good idea Jess, I'm sure many people will be taking part, if not then well, we'll have to make them evil snicker.. You say strong female fantasy, but can that also include Gothic/Dark? You know me hun hehe. hugs

Yes, Mike, of course... Anything that might fall into the fantasy genre... I'm cool with it.:) This way we should see a lot of different stuff, which should be a LOT of fun. :)

bookmarked

:O)

Great!!! Welcome to you both, I look forward to your entries... GOOD LUCK!! :O)

I haven't done anything creative in quite a while. This might be just the "push" (read: shove) I need grin Thanks!

Cool, Nathalie, you too!! :) THis is so much fun, it's sickening. LOL I have much more fun running these than participating... I think I'll have to have more. :O)

Question? Can she be portrayed in a more gentle manner? The reason I ask is I have something in mind, but I'm not sure it would qualify??

Yes of course... she could have a "quiet strength". It doesn't have to be "in your face" at all. :O)!!!

good grief, i only just found thid thread (boohoo) gonna work on something later! seens ome entries so far and wondered what they where for, now i know! excellent entries so far, well done peeps!
