I entered these images in the Renderosity Summer Carnival Contest for 2024. The challenge was described as: Theme: Pretzel People Welcome to Pretzel People. In this game challenge, create the craziest, unique, and most creative twisted poses you can come up with. You may submit as many entries as you like, and discuss techniques with each other. Staff will pick the winner at the end of the carnival. You may use pre-made products. No AI. So, I whipped up three submissions and – huzzah! – I was one of two people to win 4th place. The prize was 5 items from RPublishing. By selecting some bundles, including dinosaurs and military equipment and La Femme 2.0 Pro, that amounted to a bit more than $300 in prizes. The coolest thing is, those are some items that I can definitely use in future projects. ----------- As per usual, my workflow includes making two renders in Power 13 and compositing them in Clip Studio Paint. Figures this time include Victoria 4 and Herr Cadaver. The color version was created using the comic book coloring system from Retro Supply Company.
