      Okay, so here is my first banner entry. I'm quite new to Blender so this was quite experimental for me and I plan on trying some more later (also a great time for me to learn more Blender!) This one is entitled 'See No Evil'. I decided to make use of Blender's monkey shape as I think it is quite fun they have that as a default shape in their system in addition to more standard ones. And I toyed around with the reflection materials a lot.

      Two I cooked up over the last week or two. Generally I don't texture/render in Blender, and to date I've hadn't actually used 2.92  [the newest version that is still supported on my PC] for anything beyond setting it up ages ago,because I was quicker/more comfortable with 2.66 and 2.75 for most of what I use Blender for, so these took quite a bit longer than I anticipated, aw well.

      The Scrabble one was rendered with Eevee, cause I didn't realize THAT was the default render engine [until I called it done, and was half way thru making the neon one]. Who makes a realtime engine the default? Renders sure were snappy tho! Some of the texturing and lighting issues I fought with on that one were because of the engine. The neon one was rendered with Cycles.
