For this week, I decided to do things I normally don’t do during these challenges, like creating custom materials, use highly detailed textures, detailed animations, and rendering with cycles. Yes, I decided to go all out with this topic, hope you guys enjoy my entry.

Here's my entry.

Do you want to know the fun part of this? I had to redo the animation 4 times

[FedPete]

It needs sparkling stars …

[FedPete]

Ears are difficult but who needs them … or a complete body …
I hesitate on hair, I need it. But it makes my machine slow. And less project time on hand.

A nice entry ! and a well designed character.

But does Genomes mean this ?

Doesn’t it means the complete set of genes in a cell or living thing.

The actual representation should be more on scientific line to represent the topic, I think , but it’s only me !

and I didn’t do anything on this thinking so. I knew it will take a long long time, like Dutch Windmill, but once done it alike would become a lifetime asset to do many things around it.

But does Genomes mean this ?

Doesn’t it means the complete set of genes in a cell or living thing.

I interpreted it not as “dna genome”, because of the illustration attached to the description of “Gnomes”. See WIKI.

[umishrak]

but there is no representation of DNA here

this is what I meant actually

[umishrak]

and this wiki definition is an absolute mess !

[HenRMJ]

Genomes and gnomes are not the same thing. I think the wiki does a pretty good job of summarizing what gnomes are. But you’ve heard of the concepts of gnomes, right? This isn’t your introduction to it?

[FedPete]

[NP5]

English language and spelling.
gEnomes are the dna thing. Said GeeeNomes.
gNomes are mythical creatures often in one incarnation as common garden ornaments. Said Nomes.

[umishrak]

coming too hot !

never knew the topic was directed for traditional children’s stories !

but, but luck, met the inventor of Lexicon here.

Hon’ble Sir !

Somehow, one meaning of Gnome in US way is

a person who works by using their mind, but does not talk to, and is not known by, the public:
The gnomes in the back room are putting the finishing touches to the new software.

But, since you say so Sire !

[umishrak]

Hope, this is the only meaning and difference in English language and spelling!

[HenRMJ]

This is sick af

Decided to add just some small details to my silly entry. The card also has volume now.

[FedPete]

This is the project phase to add (tiny) details to the model and upgrade the material/textures. But that will take another day.

I did a quick face paint, using vertex color mixed with a material setup.
Because my machine gets slow. Couldn’t add fine details because of the uneven mesh, due to auto dynotopo. Also, I saw possibilities for the newly learned skills of adding stitches using geo nodes. It was a fun, short project. With a lot of possibilities.

Speed challenge. Started today. Let’s see how far I get before voting

This is my submission for now:

Looks more like some sort of goblin maybe. But the idea is to add a sack as clothing, and wearing socks. Kind of like dobby from Harry Potter. Then have him holding a rope to some deadly contraption with somebody just entering through a door. Most likely wont finish that in time, but wont stop me from trying!

[umishrak]

Amazing !

This character has come up so well ! It’s pro grade. A lifetime asset !
