Description

Yes, it's an oldie. Again. 2018. (PoserPro2014) This, and the next few upcoming renders, were done for one of Totte's RRRR contests over at DAZ, the theme being "Error 404 Not Found" Grandad's filling his cart at the DAZ store when... (Note: The render is obviously from inside the runtime looking out) I realized too late that the dungeon should be filled with all those "no longer available" DAZ products. When he heard this thought, the monster rat - "Oscar, just call me Oscar" - smiled at me, raised an eyebrow, and said "But my dear boy, it was!" He then smacked his lips, did that Hannibal Lecter "Fffff...ffff.... fff..." thing, took a sip of his martini, and gave a little decadent artsy-fartsy chuckle... For anybody who might be interested, the idea of those RRRRs was that you randomly draw a set number of items from your runtime and then create a render on the given theme using them. These were my four items: Mitch Hair (an AprilYSH freebie); Hobbit Hut (a sharecg freebie OBJ); Dark Corner Of The Dungeon (Stonemason's); Beach Umbrella (not sure where this came from). And this was the train of thought that led to this picture: The Mitch Hair's the main inspiration here - old guy hair and the 404 theme ? An exasperated Grandad throwing his hands up in despair at a 404 screen the DAZ site just threw at him ! The biggest decision was whether grandad was silver-surfing from the dark corner of the dungeon or from the hobbit hut. With that choice made then the beach umbrella just fitted better in the dungeon (whaddya mean you don't follow the logic of that? Just trust me - it does.) And it's obvious that, well, if you've got a beach umbrella in the dark corner of the dungeon... it can only mean monster rats with martinis! (Of course the Mitch Hair needed a few extras to turn it into a grandad: D3 with the old guy morph; Sydd's M3 Adrian MAT; and M3 NightWorld Lone Wolf shirt) My reference(s): ????
