Fairy Tales Re-Imagined Forum Challenge
---------------------------------------------------------------
Since there are more people hanging around here at the moment, we thought it might be fun to create a challenge to help focus our collective creative energies and do something fun as a community.
Inspired by the recent products in the Renderosity store alluding to various fairy tales, we thought it would be fun to run a challenge which features your own intereptations of these tales. We have all heard and watched fairy tales since we were children and have recently seen more and more reimaginings of them in books, in movies and on television. But, since we all come from different backgrounds, cultures, families, etc, we can all bring our own unique experience to these tales.
So that is your challenge. Take a classic fairy tale, put your own spin on it and depict it visually with an image created in DAZ Studio. It can be dark, funny, modern, whatever you can think of!
You may write short prose, a poem or description to go with your scene to help flesh out your story if you desire, but most of what you are trying to illustrate should be depicted visually and not dependent on the writing that accompanies it.
You are also not limited to depicting one fairy tale in your image. If you would like to combined characters from different stories, that is great! Or, if you would rather focus on one story in particular, that's good, too. Let your imagination run wild.
---------------------------------------------------------------
The Challenge:
Create an image depicting your spin on a classic fairy tale(s) using DAZ Studio.
Rules:
1. All images must be made primarily in DAZ Studio (any version) and may be rendered in either DAZ Studio or Lux using the Reality plugin.
2. Postwork is allowed including signatures, but it should still look like an image created in a 3D program.
3. Content is only restricted by the Renderosity Terms of Service. If it would not be acceptable in the galleries here, then it's not acceptable for this contest. Anything that falls within the TOS is fair game though and we'll add content advisories if they are needed.
4. Please upload your image to your Renderosity Gallery and then post a link here. Please include in either your forum post or your gallery image which fairy tale(s) you are representing. Size restrictions of normal gallery uploads are the only ones that apply.
5. There is a maximum of 2 entries per person.
6. Contest starts now and will run through midnight (Renderosity server time) on June 30th.

Any questions, please post them here.
Can't wait to see what you all come up with!
