Just before we get started, are AI generated images permitted? We've had issues before. I would assume the "no NSFW" rule applies.
I think, for the sake of convenience, generative ai will not be allowed for this contest, but a future contest we can look at creating a separate category for it.
Sorry!I believe whatever rules we have in this forum would be enforced. So I guess no NSFW for this one.
Sorry x 2 ;DI'm rooting for you guys. Can't wait to see what everyone comes up with! Thank you for hosting this @Diviniren!
Ty so much to all the sponsors and donors that are bankrolling this contest! This is adding up real quick, looking forward to the entries!
Yes adding up real quick.... I see you've risen to Rank 4 now, won't last though 😜.
Just like to say for someone who's only been here for two months, you've really made your mark... great artwork, intelligent and thoughtful conversations, and you're kind and respectful to everyone, not like some. Just want to say it doesn't go unnoticed.LoL! I didn't realize it until you mentioned it, but yeah, once all the points have been paid out what's left will be bones ;D
Also it was folks like yourself that really welcomed me and helped me with getting to know DS. It's folks like you that make the community!
P.S. I've been around since last summer, but on another account, switched names for safety/security reasons.
C. Chasing the Moment
Shake it, shake, shake it, shake it, shake it (Uh oh)
Shake it like a Polaroid picture!
@sexybeast6666 You can use anything 2d or 3d modelling/rendering software, not specific to ds.
Putting in for this, too.
Not sure if will have time to devote to entry(ies). IRL work taking precedent. (Barely making it by for visits these days.) But will try.Awesome! Thanks @spats! Hope you find some time to put in some entries!
B. Memories
I guess I'll call this one 'Mutual Curiosity'. When I thought of Spring I first thought of nature, then I thought of something bouncing flying or blasting off. So here's where it lead me.
For the framing I just threw together where I thought a photo like that would end up or in whose hands. Here’s the image without the framing.
Good luck to all of you who enter the contest! I'll be very interested to see what you all come up with! Contests are always exciting.
All the best,
Niniane
