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.

1/11/2011-4/6/2020.
Siberian Husky dog Lara (a.k.a. JJ). I miss you and love you always.

May there be light in this darkness.

If you have ideas on how to improve the contest or other fun contests you would like to see, please let us know in the comments section below. If there are vendors you would like us to feature, also let us know.

    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….

    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.

    ShibaShake,

    Hi, I have a question. It may have been asked before but I didn’t find an answer. For the contest this month you said that DAZ Originals can’t used. Most of the items I own are listed as DAZ Originals and by different artists, such as the Cafe Curls by GoldTassel or the Nyo Hair by Crocodile Liu and DAZ Originals. Are items such as these excluded? Might help to keep other people like me from asking dumb questions, or uploading invalid entries, if the definition of DAZ Originals was clearer. Also, in other months where an artist is named is he/she excluded because DAZ Originals is also listed? Thanks for taking the time to make this clearer.

      Hello Jeff, Sorry for the confusion. Daz Originals cannot be chosen as a featured vendor because they are a collection of artists, so that is almost like choosing a whole bunch of vendors. πŸ™‚ However, it is totally acceptable for DazO to be listed in any featured items. Only requirement is that the featured items contain the featured vendor, any other vendors can be listed together with it. I have also clarified in the article.

    • Tracy Landrum says

      September 10, 2019 at 5:40 am

      Second this question but what happens IF your favorite artist products have been moved to DAZ Originals and their name removed, like Josh Crockett’s, which only shows four products.

    • shibashake says

      September 10, 2019 at 1:45 pm

      The featured item must be listed under the vendor store at the time of the contest. Otherwise, it is difficult for everyone to keep track of. πŸ™‚

  18. Thoreandan says

    September 3, 2019 at 7:58 am

    Not to over-complicate things, but: I know we can’t choose “Daz Originals” as our featured vendor, but if the store page for a product credits both Daz Originals AND the vendor we have picked, can that product be used as a qualifying item? For example, if I pick Ravenhair as my Featured Vendor, can I use Artemis Moon for Genesis 3 Female(s) https://www.daz3d.com/artemis-moon-for-genesis-3-female-s as a qualifying product?

    Thanks.

    I love your articles and this contest. Congrats on a great site. I’ve entered a few times in the past and will have few for this month. I even got and honorable mention a while back – surprised the hell out of me.

    Starting last month though, I’ve been having problems reading the site. It loads, but some of the text keeps disappearing, usually about which vendors can be used. I just spent a great deal of time doing some images based on the Karyssa Pro Bundle I just got as a belated Xmas present. You can imagine my consternation when when I came to the site today to see if the January winners were posted and found that Karyssa was not listed as a qualifying item. I know I’m getting old, I’m 68, and can have a certain amount of senior events, but I KNEW I saw it before.

    Got my son to look into it for me. He has a degree in computer science, codes games, web sites, etc. He found that you site is riddled with tracker tags to all the links on the page. Sample below:

    Karyssa 8

    My adblocker/anti tracking software does not like this! The page becomes messed up which it would appear to cause the missing text.

    Here are two such locations:

    January started with some great sales on some of my favorite vendors including Stonemason, , and . This allowed me to pick up many items that have been on my wishlist.

    The newly released Owen 8 and will also qualify.

    As you can see in the first instance only Stonemason is listed and in the second only Owen 8 is listed.

    Please fix your site and remove the trackers. Or at least warn visitors that such items exist and may mess up the page.

    Hi
    I am trying to reach the creators of the Shiba Shake web site.
    Your site is beyond incredible; I had been considering getting a Shiba Inu and the outstanding experiences and guidance you shared were instrumental in my wife and I getting one for our 20th anniversary.

    I notice with sadness that you appear to not be updating the site any longer with new content.
    I hope all is well on your end.

    My name is Glenn and I live in Miami, Florda.
    We have a 5-month old cream Shiba named Casper who we got at 12 weeks from a breeder in Missouri. He came to us fully potty trained, but afraid of everything and has thrived with many suggestions from your site.

    I hope to hear from you!

    I’ve noticed that days after the end of the month and prior to your announcement of the winners of that previous month’s contest, there are those who are posting/tagging entries for that month (e.g., It’s September but people were still posting entries well after August 31 for the August contest). Is that allowable. I’m just curious because there are times when I would like to enter but missed what I perceived as the deadline.

      The end date for submissions is the end of the month. After that, the judges start their process and mail me the results. To be fair, we filter out entries that do not qualify when/if we detect them. Most of all, we hope that this is a fun event for everyone. πŸ˜€

    Ohh that’s going to be a tough choice with all the great vendors.

    Question ? It says that Michael 8 qualifies, does that mean we can choose a vendor AND M8 or if choosing M8 we can’t choose a favorite vendor ?
    LOL that was a lot of using the word choose in one sentence, hope my question makes sense.

    Btw shouldn’t it say featured vendors for September instead of August ?

    Great choice of vendors for April but can I say :

    YIPEE! Arki is one of them!
    I love her things and she’s among my top favourite vendors. I think I have her whole store wishlisted and is slowly making my way through getting everything. The Nightqueen Wardrobe Collection went in my cart faster than you could blink when it was in fastgrab lol

    There were a lot of awesome stuff released during MM and picking a favourite ,well nope can’t do it, too many to choose from. My head is still buzzing from all the great stuff I bought and I haven’t used half of it.

      Haha, yeah, I always find stuff in my runtime that I didn’t know I had. It is like getting an unexpected present each time. πŸ˜€ I must say tho that my fav. product currently is that Kadis armor. I just can’t stop using it.

    I can’t express how happy I am that I discovered ThinkArtDraw. The tutorials are extremely helpful and the art contest each month never fails to leave my jaw hanging open. I could spend hours just flipping through galleries oooooing and ahhing at the talent. Thank you so much ShibaShake for sponsoring this!

    Woah, I might not be participating in the challenge. I see my image has been pulled from the gallery and deleted out of my account. How do I inquire or can you do that for me?

      The gallery is totally Daz, so that is where you should inquire. They are pretty strict about nudity, so that would be my guess. Add a bikini and all will probably be fine. πŸ™‚

    Hey Shiba’

    Congrats on a wonderful site. You’re doing a wonderful job and your art is amazing. Well done.

    I’ve just recently rebuilt my system and installed all my art programs. I’m like an art junky, not knowing which software to tinker in. I realise I’m behind in Daz and it’s new, amazing renderer, hence my participation in your challenge this month. Hope it’s not to raunchy but what better way to test my skills with water. Needless to say, I’m tired of tweaking.

    Have a GR8T one. Keep up the good work.

    Ohh the possibilities with a Daz Originals month.

    There were a lot of awesome items released in the PA month and I also got some “old” ones from my wishlist.

    My favourites from the PA month would be everything I bought, including the stuff from my wishlist …. lol….
    On the top of the list though is definitely Terradome and TerraLuna.

    My Question: Does the Fennec Fox count too, based on his Fox Model?

    Thank you πŸ˜€

    Reply
    • shibashake says

      September 6, 2016 at 2:59 pm

      Yes it does because it uses the Foxes as the base. πŸ™‚ So you would list as your featured item Foxes by AM but you can use the Fennec Foxes as an additional item as usual.

  52. Lisa says

    September 3, 2016 at 4:45 am

    Hmm, can I use Fred Winkler Art again? He has so many great characters and I have a lot of them heh. If I can use FWA, am I only allowed to use the items he created alone, or can I use like say FWSA characters?

    Thanks!

      September 3, 2016 at 9:02 am

      Yes, featured items from the Daz store please, as we are using the Daz galleries. Of course other items can be from anywhere. Thank you! πŸ˜€

    Didn’t get to submit as many pics as I wanted in June ;/ I have so much DM stuff but I spent far too much time working on the Caught picture. So that Suicide Squad contest, all I see is hand drawn stuff. Im not sure what this means really, “All submissions must be original artwork (meaning not using third party pre-existing copyright materials).” Like we can use 3D stuff right, do you think, it would be just like any other contest I enter? Sorry, guess maybe I should ask them lol! I have a few ideas for July’s contest πŸ˜‰ I just love these.

    • shibashake says

      Yeah probably best to ask them (Warner Bros.). I just figured it was ok to use Daz stuff since Daz put it in their newsletter and offered an additional 1k GC for winners. Btw. feel free to share your submission links here. I would love to see!

      Finished my entry! Man did it take me a long time. Had to make new textures for all the clothes, added blood to Harley’s bat, and kept changing my mind on what hair I wanted to use. Here’s the link, but I think we cant look at the entries after they start judging. Not sure heh, I made it with 2 hours to spare!

    Hi Shiba, does one have to use DAZ Studio to qualify or can you use a different application as long as a qualifying item is used? I am starting to work with a different app (still love DS) but it is work related and limiting my time using DS at the moment.

    Many vendors sell on multiple sites. In past contests you have included vendors’ listing on RDNA. Can you use models by the listed vendors purchased from other sites in September’s contest?

    Reply
    • shibashake says

      September 13, 2015 at 11:00 pm

      Great question Anne.

      In general, qualifying products are only those that are in the posted featured links. Since September is Vendor month at DAZ, we wanted to keep it mostly to daz stores. Also, we are using the Daz Gallery and doing Daz GC as prizes, so Daz Vendors will generally be the focus.

      However, on regular months, we usually include vendor stores from other places as well, in which case they will be listed in the featured vendors section.

    • Anne Marie Rasmussen says

      September 14, 2015 at 2:53 am

      Shiba, thank you for your answer. Totally understand your position. I have a couple of lovely models by Sabby but not from DAZ. I’ll have to look through my runtime and see if I can come up with some other ideas. πŸ™‚

  61. Megacarl says

    June 20, 2015 at 8:00 pm

    I’m wondering – if I use an outfit as the qualifying item, then just how much of the outfit needs to be used ? (I like mix-and-match)

    Reply
    • shibashake says

      June 20, 2015 at 10:12 pm

      Hello Pete, Mix and Match should be fine, as long as enough of the qualifying outfit is shown. For example, don’t just include little bits of the glove in a zoomed out shot. πŸ˜‰

      Judges should be able to look at the image and recognize parts of the qualifying outfit.
