In this contest, I want to feature and thank the very talented people who create wonderful 3d-content for us ~ the 3d-art vendors. I have great respect and admiration for their talent, work ethic, and general awesomeness!
On a Break
For those interested, here are the past winners.
If you want announcements of site events and winners, follow us on Facebook.
Thank you very much for all your condolences and well wishes.
For those who did not see in my previous posting, I just lost my best (furry) friend to cancer. It is a terrible thing to suddenly lose someone that you spend so much time with every day, creating light and happiness. I am still trying to muddle through this, so I will be taking a break from posting new contests for a while.
Hopefully, we will be back soon. Thank you to all for participating, viewing, posting comments, as well as for your positive energy and support. The Daz Studio community is totally awesome and I hope everyone stays safe in these very difficult times. Big hugs to you all.
May there be light in this darkness.

I’m sorry for your loss. I hope that you can find comfort in knowing that the community here cares for you.
I am so sorry for your loss Shiba. It’s always very painful to lose someone you love. Lara was a very beautiful Husky. May she rest in peace.
Hugs and thoughts.
Rainbow Bridge poem.
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together….

So sorry to hear of your loss, ShibaShake. My heartfelt condolences to you, and sending virtual hugs your way.

My heart goes out to you, ShibaShake. Please take all the time you need. I was concerned about you recently b/c you hadn’t posted artwork for a while either, so I started to panic, and sent you a note on DA.
I just lost my sweet dog to cancer recently, and it is just so devastating. To pet people, they are so much more than pets; they are family. She was 12 years old, and we got her as a puppy, so there are so many memories.
Please take care.

I am so very sorry for your loss. I have had to say goodbye to many of my fur babies over my 60 years here on earth ranging from horses, dogs, cats, bunnies, and even a goat. It is never easy. There is always one, however, that is your “special” friend that becomes part of your soul. I lost my “Special” baby 5 years ago. I can only tell you that when I think of her now, I can smile instead of tears. There are no words that will ease the loss.
I’m so sorry to hear of your loss. Our furry best friends are so special. I wish I had words to comfort. Sending hugs.
Hang in there, and take all the time you need. I’ve said several prayers for you. We’ll be here when you get back!
For anyone unsure of whether the product they bought was before or after Sisi, she’s currently about 7 pages deep from the front page (w/ or w/o “Hide Items I Own” checked), for reference’s sake.
Do the qualifying March 2020 items include PC+ items, even though these aren’t released as March Madness items?
Yes! Anything released during the MM period will qualify.
Shiba, the Feb 2020 qualifying vendor store links above (bitwelder, zeddicuss, etc.) aren’t working, something must be wrong with the URLs.
I think it was a Daz-side issue, which has happily now been fixed. 😀
