DEV BUILD - NOT FOR PUBLIC USE
 

It’s a Jolly Holiday.

Description

There are few things more quintessential about a holiday than a postcard. Stunning vistas, humorous cartoons, and saucy comics all find their way to the fridge door when this little slip of card drops into the letterbox.

As we take a breath and reset ourselves in this time of welcome shore leave, we would love to get a glimpse into your holiday.

Using any graphic creation software or by taking a picture of a handmade design, you should create a postcard that gives us an insight into your character’s shore leave. It doesn’t have to be happy and it doesn’t have to be funny, but it should give us a sense of your character’s break from the norm (or not as the case may be).

Criteria

  • Submissions should take the form of an image and a maximum 50-word message entered via the BFMS submission window.
  • Submissions should be in the ratio of 1:1.5 (aka 4"x6")
  • The image must not exceed 1200 x 1800 pixels and should be saved in either .png or .jpg format with a maximum file size of 1 MB. Sharelinks will not be accepted.
  • The winning design will be selected based on three criteria: presentation and design (out of 10), originality (out of 10), and adherence to the theme (out of 10).

Thov th'Zeles (#1644)

Original render built using DAZ3D animation software. Each character was crafted separately, inserted and posed. It references an underground pool mentioned in 'Laps Under Paradise'. Ikastrul is trying to get Malon to relax in that post. This image represents the following morning. Their dating life is slowly being revealed.

Kirok Skyrunner (#2986)

This captivating image perfectly encapsulates Captain's Kirok Skyrunner and Sophia Rodriguez enjoying a serene evening outdoors. Their faces are illuminated by the warm campfire's dancing flames, with a distant mountain peak also alight. It evokes feelings of peace, connection, and the spirit of adventure under the night sky.
