I'm assuming that includes Harry the Horse, the Big Cat, Big Cat Cub, House Cat and/or Kitten, and those sort of HiveWire family figures.

Hmmmm, knowing your renders Stezza, I'm looking forward to seeing your render(s). ;)

not having anything Dawn or Dusk related makes it a challenge... good job I use Carrara so I can hack away to try and make something lol

They should Desertsilver, as you need Harry the HiveWire Horse to use them. ;)

As I don't have any gear for Dusk I had a go at making some duds from the Dusk Resource Kit..

So I chopped away in Carrara and textured the gear with some daggy burlap and trans maps in PSE..

Here is what I have come up with so far.. for one of my characters

Next job is to manually transfer some textures for Dusk from one of my Genesis characters as I don't have any Dusk ones :eek:

Textures, do you mean skins? On PoserDazFreebies site, you can find links for some of them. Often links bring you until Sharecg and Renderosity.
But maybe you know already the site?

I'll see if I can do something for the contest :)

@ Stezza There are so many cool elements here!
I especially love your ghost. And I have to ask, is that a cigarette butt in her ice cream cone?
