In the US, we have a holiday called Valentine's Day.

It has something to do with Saints and Love and stuff.

But now, in the US, it's an unspoken contract you have with your significant other for special gifts and dinners out, that if not honored, will probably result in the loss of your significant other. Thanks Hallmark.

•• At any rate, WE HAVE A NEW VALENTINES CONTEST that you can win ACTUAL COLD, HARD GIFT CARD CASH, to Amazon and other merchants. ••

Yup, I'm checking my usual source for ideas, "The Complete Calvin & Hobbes":

There is no better source. Fact.

Yay- thanks for posting!

This might have been a good entry, but it's not a new render, and I've posted it elsewhere.

Clever idea. I like the girder, did you do that in Carrara?

Yes, I modeled everything in the scene in Carrara (with a slight detour to Hexagon). The captioning was done with Comic Life. The idea is not mine, but my interpretation of a scene from the Futurama episode "Bendless Love".

Here's one of the reference images I used.

My life is actually defined by references to comics and animation. Uh-oh. Nice work BTW.

Turn on your heart-light and start rendering up. The Valentines Day Contest is drawing, or should I say, Rendering, to a close!! There are some waaaay cool entries so far.
