Oh, and by the way, my sister's baby is still being lazy and hasn't been born yet, so I may disappear for a few days at any moment!  Please excuse me if I misspelled anyone's name or title, I am so focused on that child, lol.

I think the highest number of entries I've seen, a great challenge.

Can't wait for the next one.

Yep, you can say it loud.
I've joined to win, hoping in a smaller amount of entries than the previous challenges, and look what happened LOL
I'll be trying with the "Moron Olympics", maybe I'll have some more chances and some more luck with that LOL

Thank you!  I am honored.  Minimalism is very difficult to understand, as well as to create.  For me it is more like undoing a puzzle that is already assembled, and keeping only that which reflects the essence of the image. 

Somehow I missed the results.  I got buried in preparing the 2D Sub-Community page, and I'm just now returning to consciousness.  ;-)
 

**Thank you!  This has been an exciting Challenge.  Both the level of participation and the quality of the entries were nothing short of exceptional.  There was not a bad entry in the bunch.

As an artist, it is always personally pleasing when a piece turns out well, but when a work is also recognized by other talented artists, the experience becomes both deeply gratifying and very humbling at the same time.  You see, without the unwavering support of my family and the continual encouragement from my fellow artists here at Renderosity (that's YOU!), I would likely never have pursued digital art or my photography, other than the occasional snapshot.  Your conversations, camaraderie, and comments (both the complimentary and, especially, the critical ones) have helped me to grow as a person and as an artist, providing the impetus for much of my work, including Vertices .

            "We live by encouragement and die without it — slowly, sadly, angrily."    — Celeste Holm

May I invite everyone, and especially those of you who are new to the Challenge Forum, new to Renderosity, new to your present artistic medium or new to Art in general to stick around, stay involved, participate, and keep trying new ideas and techniques.  We learn so much from each other!  I have found the welcoming and supportive Art Community here at Renderosity.com to be the ideal place to do just that.

Great works and hard to choose winners, I think

Very well put, Carl.  I concur wholeheartedly.  And, I look forward to November's Challenge.

well said and well done my friend

Well I am really exited of what people are coming up with this time, because I have almost no idea of what you are talking about, Denger.   I couldnt read anything in danish about it.  Now I only have a tiny thought of what it could be. I am really looking forward to see, what will happen and I can barely wait. :)))
