Llola Lane’s RENDER A MONTH Challenge 2025 (ALL are welcome to join)

Happy New Year one and All!!!

I can't believe I've been hostessing this challenge for 12 years!  Time goes sooo fast.  

For 2025 we go back down memory lane and create artwork from a "12 year Retrospective"

Each month I will highlight a year.  You... go back through that year's list (found on page 1) and create ANYTHING you wish from that year as inspiration.  Please follow the monthly intructions too.

Please post the month and theme with your artwork!

This challenge is for fun and to keep the creative juices flowing.

  • Fae3DFae3D Posts: 2,612

    Ooooh, this is a cool idea!  Something totally different every month, that should keep us on our toes XD  I was super happy that I was able to get one done for every month last year, it was a big goal of mine ^_^  Let's see if I can repeat that this year!!!

    Thanks guys :) I'm glad that one came together since I had two attempts with different ideas/colours that didn't even make it to the render stage. I think mixing in a little real-life "monday blues" was a big help in getting it done.

    Very nice and inspired render! Hopefully she is prepared to catch any falling crumbs as they'll for sure stand out on the light-coloured sofa - she won't want to be caught red-handed! :)

    You'll have to remember to post that on PFD for Agent if the site manages to come back online later.

    Thanks Sof... I'm sure she has a napkin collecting crumbs... lol. 

    I am afraid PFD is by the wayside.. not sure what is going on there... I hope DA is well... I've not chatted with Agent in a while.. Things were a little hectic when we last chatted.  At least we have DAZ!  right????  lol
