OK folks, the judges have spoken!!!

Our two judges, Pendraia and Lorraine told me "It was a really hard decision to make,
so in the end we looked for images that told stories, and had depth as a deciding factor."

And the winners are (drum roll please):

First Place: Skeleton Run by jecnodde
Second Place: The Cat, The Bat, The Witch and The Ghost by Rae134
Third Place: Zombie Dawn by Rae 134
Honorable Mention: Truth in the Reflection by Varnayrah

Congratulations to the winners!! :D

This thread is for chatting about the challenge, and for posting your WIP renders. You can post your images here, before you finalize your render to show us how you are doing, or to ask for guidance if you get stumped on how to accomplish something.

I am working on a project for this contest.
Dawn will be the feature star in it.
Question: if we post our WIPs here what is to keep the judges from knowing who does what?

Generally speaking FL, whomever is doing the judging doesn't come here to the WIP thread, and won't see everyone's renders until the challenge has been closed, and the "anonymous" renders are put up elsewhere for them to view and vote on.

Now that my tummy scope is out of the way and I rested a bit, back to this.
Hopefully tonight I will post a wip and in the days to follow till I get to the final version. :)

My first WIP:
More renders as I have other scenes in my head.
I also have other backgrounds in mind.
For one thing I want to change her dress now that I have a different one from the Egyptians.
Haven't decided on close-up or full view or both. :)
