Now I know why I never enter these challenges.

Not bad Gaieus - wish I could get something as good as that!!!!

Tox you rock! Solo's watercolor also cool.

My attempt...

It would be usefull to know which of the images used a renderer as an intermediate process. A short description with each image may be very informative.

30 minutes , Sketchup Only + Painter X

Just a quick fart around with Twilight and CS4

Rendered at Easy04 with one Omni Light and Background Image of Moon from Google Images

Added 'Deep Blue' Photo filter with CS4

Well done everyone else, fantastic submissions so far and a great thread too Pete

Compliments to the others for the beautiful posted artistic works!!

My little attempt..

tomsdesk · 4 Dec 2009, 04:48

These are all so lovely...y'all been holdin' out on us!

Wow, nice renders/shots/effects!

I cannot render that well. (I used iRender) So, I hid it with combinations and image blends of renders with Photoshop effects applied.

The image was rendered in parallel projection mode.

if i used a hat i would surely take it out to you, just before bowing. what we see here is nothing short of a group of true works of art. congratulations to all.

Lots of really nice NPR's...

Here's my quick attempt...

tridem · 4 Dec 2009, 12:49

...after all, It's Christmas time

rev3rse · 4 Dec 2009, 13:24

Yes, it's Christmas time!! Good idea tridem

dspace · 4 Dec 2009, 13:31

Very nice work Sir Fred!

But tridem...it's foul play...a yellow card...for adding the lights!
Just kidding, it's Xmas!
Btw...did you use the cotton material again for the snow?

rev3rse · 4 Dec 2009, 13:58

Sorry, but I can't resist.. agamemnus gave me a somewhat strange idea

tridem · 4 Dec 2009, 14:07

@dspace! someone has put even the moon, mine are just a few bulbs
it's not my beautyfull cotton , just a white diffuse with bumps and reflection, unexpectedly good!

Fletch · 4 Dec 2009, 14:53

just had to tell Tox that image was really really nice!
liked Rico's last image as well!

gaieus, your image was good, no more self deprecation, please!

dale · 4 Dec 2009, 15:14

Some really fine renders folks. Too much fun.
SketchUp
Kerkythea
Photoshop, 5 filters @various opacities. Dodge and burn
Virtual Painter (and purposely tacky composition to match)

EarthMover · 4 Dec 2009, 15:22

My 2nd try. Oil Pastel on Canvas.

tomsdesk · 4 Dec 2009, 16:23

Love the colors, Dale!
