As Tom suggested elsewhere, feel free to use this thread to showcase your entries for the September Gallery if they were not chosen to feature in the winning gallery page. It may help to satisfy curiosity or to get feedback which might help your chances next month.

I was going to start a thread and title it 'The Also-Ran-Gallery' for the same purpose, but this will work too.

I'll jump in with my backup entry, I submitted a full size version of this thing long ago and then this cropped version last month.
Didn't get any nibbles either time so I suppose it's a two time loser now!
Begone! Back into the vault!

So, in all it's vaguely Halloweenish-themed glory, I present:
The Twice Undead Marching Tootsy-Pop Army:15730

Well I like it. However, it might have been nice if the lollipops were translucent like matt glass so the scene had a bit more depth. Caustics would have been the, ahem, icing on the cake...:D

At first glance I thought it was a convention of gay stickman construction workers!


My second response is that it's actually quite good but too similar to too many variations on the traditional rendered sphere.


I think it also lacks a story - a visual one any way. It needs an additional focus point - perhaps turn just one lollipop into a small construction worker. You could add a small child frustrated because the lollipops are too big to fit in his mouth - you could fit each lollipop with a couple of extra legs some tentacles and a Martian Heat Ray device..... or something.


Otherwise, a tasty piece of work!

You and I KNOW this was done before with hammers...
It also looks like a toon shader was used. The black lolipops
look out of place.
There is no orange fog.

This one was doomed from the start.;) (good bye tootsie goodbyeeee.)
