So I was thinking what to do today, about the challenge. My first thought was to make a mecha that would hand a budding flower to a young girl (or the other way around) in a completely desolate landscape. I was going for the desolate look just so I can avoid having to make leaves in the tree lab, seeing as how it sucks donkey droppings in the first place... Since I don't really like the way the mecha ended up looking like I put it on the backburner and thought of leeching Ornlu's grass and just making a nature scene... LOL... like THAT's gonna happen with my skills in landscaping...

So I emailed a good friend of mine and asked him for a favor. Sure enough, I just got a reply with the most amazing tree. It's a lightwave export from XFrog, who the friend owns, and he was generous enough to share. So yeah... heh... I was thinking of completely cheating out DC's challenge and making a forrest of these perfect trees, and maybe adding a little tree sprout, which would be Bryce. Just to annoy the bejesus out of the people who are gonna spend countless hours trying to figure out that bloody tree lab.

Thankfully for all of you, I really am not in the mood for nature scene rendering, so I kinda scrapped that idea too. But I swear to all that's good and holy that I'm gonna cheat this challenge out of everything it's got. Not necessarily because the damned tree lab is buggy, but because I'm not good at it, and the damned tree lab is a buggy piece of Drac chocolate. And to use DTE for the trees, the leaves and the trunks? Dream on.

So yeah, I came out clean now because I wanted to say what I had to say. I would like to win this challenge just so I can choose a more christian-like topic. Also, since I know that I positively suck at nature scenes, I realize that I don't have the time to learn this. I'd rather cheat my cute little behind off and lean on your mercy with an awesome pic rather than make a mediocre render. Just me though :)

I am evil. Sometimes. Best of luck to all of us, and may God have mercy on our souls.
