This is the Blender Collaboration 2024, week 11 challenge. Don’t be afraid to join, a lot of us are beginners. This is all to practice, have fun, learn, and get together.
This week’s subject is “My Favourite (Saying)”.
“My Favourite (Saying)”
Could be folk wisdom, an idiom, some comedic nonsense, or something else!
Got something unique to your culture? This is a great time to share it with the rest of us!
The rules are simple. 1 subject, 1 entry, 1 week.
You create whatever object or scene or whatever you can think of that has something to do with the subject. It can be as simple or complicated as you want, all entries are welcome!
Post your picture here in this thread. At the end of the week, we start to vote. And if you are the winner, you may choose the next subject and win a unique badge.
It occurs to me to ask since I have a couple of favorite comedic phrases I say, is the entry for this required to be a still image or is a short animatic acceptable? I’d love to make a 10 second video of how my favorite phrase works out in a character interaction.
If it must be a still image, could a comic-book lay out work? I think just three-five frames could be enough.
Others, please correct me if I’m wrong, but my understanding is that animated entries are more than welcome, as long as you can provide one stillframe to use as an actual submission for voting. CypherPoet’s “Transparent” entry just a few weeks ago was an animation and that’s how it was handled.
As for what you can meaningfully “cram” (tongue-in-cheek) into that stillframe, that’s half the fun of design, but personally, I’m intrigued to see the video idea now. Seconding jimmie, whichever format you decide works best for your idea, I’m sure it will be fine. Even my Spot The Difference entry broke the “rule” about having two separate images =)
Fish in feathers. Or a feathered fish. I don’t know from where I got such an expression in my vocabulary. Nobody around me uses it. It means some kind of nonsense.
We @BlenderCollab have a few days to vote. You can vote fast but also think slowly about design, colors, technique, difficulty, subject, realism, etc. Choose consciously and not on your entry.
The new subject week 12 “Horror” has already started. The winner of this week’s “My Favourite (Saying)” challenge may select a subject for next week 13 and win a badge.
@jimmie Congratulations on your illustration of the funny saying “As useful as a chocolate teapot”. I’d never heard of it. But the effect is beautiful. Good shape and texture.
Kzanna - Great fish model. But I would say, where are the feathers? Because I’m unknown to the saying. Cultural differences …?
Willrun - There are some composition rules you can apply to this scene. Like:
Rule of thirds
Balance (left vs right)
Symmetry
Note: I don’t want to offend anyone. I try to write down positive ideas and visions in my simple use of the English language. I am also sometimes more inspired by a particular subject or solution. I’m also learning from you!
