Each month I'm jazzed at how many more entries we are recieving for the Monthly Challenge...again this month we have a new record with 45 entries! Take the link, look at the entries, come back here to this thread and place your votes. As always, the voting goes like this member 1 = 3 points (your favorite) member 2 = 2 points (your 2nd favorite) member 3 = 1 point (your 3rd favorite) Each full sized entry pic has it's own little page now, click on the first one and you will see the self explainatory "Back-Thumbs-Next" buttons. This way you don't have to keep clicking back on your browser bar to keep going back to the thumbnail page(unless you want to) I am STILL wrestling with the webpages, Renderosity didn't like my new pages at all, and I am doing small fixes. So, you might see the background and buttons vanish at some point, but I'm working right now to get them put back on all 45 pages...the blank placeholders for the buttons will still work, if not, use the thumbnail page for navigation. I will have it fixed tonight at some point... Thanks and best of luck!!! AgentSmith

3-FWtempest 2-Rochr 1-ICMgraphics Great Images everyone!!!!!

Rochr - 3 points Rayraz - 2 points vasquez - 1 points All entries were fab!

Call me stupid, but how do you tell who did each pic? The only way I can do it is by looking at the sig, if any - and not all of them are signed! Can someone please hand me a clue, as I've lost mine - thanks! :))

If ya running Windows, right click on the picture and choose "properties". The jpg name will contain the artist name! Tadaaa

FWTempest-3 ICMgraphics-2 Rochr-1

You can also view source, I had to do it for Rochr cause the bkgrd was white as well as the name.

BTW, it was hard deciding...they are all great images! :)

The artists names are right above their pictures All pages have been fixed. AgentSmith

3 points for Pmoores. It was love at first sight with this one. Beautyful composition and use of colors. Great spaceship design. 2 points for ICMGraphics. Again nice composition an colors. Beautyful creature at the foreground makes a good depth of field. 1 point for FWTempest. Point of view gives a great look at the beautyful terrains. Nice composition and color use. Thanks to all for sharing their dreams with us. Willem and Madeleine

Thought you weren't allowed to vote for yourself Anruth...

3 - rj001 2 - Stephen Ray 1 - Ttopps

This is soooo hard to decide...! 3 - Electroglyph - very cool cartoon style! 2 - Big Hoovie - excellent work, it looks so huge! 1 - Ttops - strong work, the reflections are scary. I wish I could give more points... there are so many excellent works! Tace care, Jimi

John Penn - 3 Rochr - 2 Aldaron - 1 Tough Pick, Great job by all! Thanks AgentSmith

Rochr - 3 Ttops - 2 Dan Whiteside - 1 It gets harder each time to pick the top three!!! Everybody did such great work!

Draculaz - 0 points for tact lol it's a joke!

This is really hard. But here goes: Vasquez - 3 Alleycat169 - 2 Tuttle - 1 Here's why: Vasquez's is funny, that's for sure, but what appeals to me most is the gesture. I mean, look at that guy! I can really get into his mood. He knows he's in trouble and he wants to go back, but he's not returning for whatever reason. And the retro appeal is great. I really like this pic and I think the cartoony style helps the feeling and the gesture behind it all. Alleycat's just appeals to me. It stood out from the get-go. I like the composition, I like the color. I think the shadow from the ship is a little distracting though, but all in all, it's a very strong piece and I think the lens flares are refreshing because they're not in overpowering like they typically are. Pidjy's is familiar somehow. I'd swear I've seen that character before, but despite the cold character, the feel of the image is nice and warm. I like the idea that what appears to be machine is appreciating a simple, organic flower form. And I like that she's away from her companion to do it. Maybe her companion wouldn't understand, maybe she's putting it back, I don't know. It's a serene image, and it keeps me wondering about what she's doing with the flower form, why she's ventured off, and why she's on Planet X in the first place. Nice work one and all! There are a bunch of others that I was thinking strongly considering and I regret that I can only pick three. Again, great to see the variety and thought in this challenge!

1 - FWTempest 3 points 2 - Darkginger 2 points 3 - Rochr 1 point

Electroglyph - 3 Cant beat Marvin the Martian. Rochr - 2 Loved it from the first time I saw it. Pmores - 1 I like the brain creature, and the bacground is great.

FWTempest-3 Nuski-2 Tjohn-1 All were good entries. And since planet X is virtually unknown how is any of us to know what is realistic or not?

1st - 3 points - Humorix (^ head & shoulders ^) 2nd - 2 points - Aldaron (great 50's-art feel) 3rd - 1 point - Rochr (a bit gloomy but a great pic)

johnpenn - 3 pidjy - 2 ICMgraphics -1 Nice work by all, loved the pov from these.

3 points - Stuie - I just love the colour scheme and the old sci-fi movie feel. 2 points - John Penn - brilliantly posed figure! 1 point - Rj001 - great sense of 'hugeness' (I like huge! ;))

3- ICMGraphics (loved the composition on this one) 2- Humorix (great model!!!!) 1- Electroglyph (fit the theme so nicely) Congrats to all the entries, everyone did such a great job! Best -Dan

Very hard to decide.. Rayraz 3p Electroglyph 2p Tuttle 1p

I reduced it to 15 choices, then had to open up 15 windows so I could look back and forth between all the full size pics. I think all of the 15 have been voted in by someone, but here is my final choice: Vasquez 3 very clever idea, well executed and it made me laugh czii 2 I really think you captured the feeling of falling and the guy's expression is well done Bikermouse 1 I liked the mood in this picture - you put in a long day exploring, and when you get there, it's time to leave Well done everyone. With 45 entries for the monthly challenge, I really think a guru challenge will need categories. Lin

Though Agentsmith used my first posting instead of my final, that's ok...everyone can see my final in my gallery. :) Electroglyph...3 Pmoores........2 Rj001..........1 Very hard to decide, especially as we get more entries.

This is getting harder each time! But here it goes... 3 - Vasquez I Love cartoons! :) 2 - Pmoores Love the cracked planet! 1 - Big Hoovie Awesome lighting! Excellent entrys from all, as usual! Good luck!

Many Great pictures here. 3 - ICMGraphics 2 - Pidgy 3 - Steven Ray

um... No, you cannot vote for yourself, anruth. No, draculaz, your votes doesn't count either, we need three names not just one. Thank you - AgentSmith

Oh Man!!! Once again I gotta pick only three? Well, Here goes. 3 Vasquez - For going all bryce, When the going got tough I reached for the Rhino instead of learning the tool. Excellent composition and the eyes give it quite an unknown X-ey feeling. 2 Dan Whiteside - I wish I could have made my distance objects in Marvin fade like that. Very effective, also very alien looking . 1 FWTempest - Layers and layers of fog, Nice depth in the water, great angle. Ask me again in five minutes and I'll pick three different ones. Great work everyone!

dan whiteside 3
fwtempest 2
big hoovie 1
These images were an inspiration to me!

3 > Electroglyph 2 > Rochr 1 > Dan Whiteside All are impressive!!

So Hard...these were the three that caught my third eye...

1......Ttops

2......Rochr

3......Zhan

1-) FWTempest 3 2-) ICMGraphics 2 3-) Mindvision-GDS 1 Very hard to select a winner. Nice work from everyone. Cheers, TT.

Apache2k - 3 Darkginger - 2 Stephen Ray - 1

Pmoores - 3 Pidjy - 2 Electroglyph - 1 As has been mentioned before, It has become very hard to choose between pictures. I chose ones that evicted the greatest emotional response. great work everyone! I can't wait to see what the next challenge will be!

Rochr - 3 FWTempest - 2 RJ001 - 1 Good stuff, thanks for posting all these great images! I really do feel that Rochr's image has a great atmosphere and feel to it, it really tells a story by itself and makes my own entry seem pathetic! I think I need to work on telling a story better in my images, and move away from just being technical with my mats and the terrains...

Rochr - 1 (overall feel is great, reminds me of Dune) Fwtempest - 2 (the dichotomy of the ancient statue and the space ships is great) Electroglyph - 3 ( That creature stole my space modulator!) First time for me to vote, I am going to enter one of mine one of these days...

Dan Whiteside=3 Stephen Ray=2 Alleycat169=1 Great challenge this month!

Okay, Here's my revote. Punishment for my vanity. :) 3 - Nuski 2 - Humorix 1 - PcMoores

Pmoores 3 points Rj001 2 points FWTempest 1 point

Hmmm we know all about how you feel Anruth! Do all that work and then vote for someone else? ;-) My sympathies! :-P
