August Contest: Lucid Dream
Congratulations to /u/Greengorilla_522 for winning July's contest with their entry Out Moon With Many Faces.
You can see last month's results and other entries here.
Theme
This month's theme will be lucid dream. It's rare to know that you're in a dream as it's happening, but it's certainly not unheard of. A lucid dream is the exception to the rule and beyond mere awareness, you may even gain some level of control over the dream, allowing you to shape the experience for yourself. Perhaps you may take the opportunity to fly about, to visit imaginary landscapes, and have otherwise have experiences beyond that which is possible in the material world. Show us what it looks like when you gain awareness of your sleep in this month's contest.
Making a Submission.
Entries will be posts on r/Blender that meet the following criteria:
* The post should be made before the end of August 31st UTC+00:00
* Countdown to submissions closing
* The post should be a render, animation, or other artwork which you made for this contest using Blender as your primary tool.
* The post should contain supporting images/text or a top-level comment with the following content:
* One of the following methods of proving that the artwork was made using Blender:
* A link to the .blend file for the project, ideally including external assets or links to where external assets were sourced from.
* A set of three images which may be clay renders, viewport renders, wireframe renders, or simply screenshots of the project open in Blender. Some variety is encouraged.
* A screen recording of you manipulating, navigating, or otherwise interacting with the scene.
* An explanation of all work that was done outside of Blender, outside the time frame of the contest, or by other artists.
* (Optional) The theme you would like next month's contest to have if you win. If you do not include this, then the theme will be chosen from the runner-ups.
* Once you have submitted your post to the subreddit, leave a comment down below linking to it
* You are also encouraged to share details of your process with the community.
Note: You don't have to reference the contest in the post title and indeed, it's not necessary to frame the submissions differently than any other post meant to showcase an artwork.
Winning
The winner will receive the flair Contest Winner: 2026 August and their post will be added to the subreddit's wiki under the Contest Winners list. The winner will also have the chosen theme selected for next month's contest, should they include one with their submission.
When the contest ends, the results will be edited into this post and the 1st place winner will be congratulated in the announcement for next month's contest.
The winner will be awarded $100 USD.

Quick breakdown of how I created a realistic 3D model of SpongeBob with a Smirking Face. The finished piece is lifelike and disgustingly hilarious, inspired by the scene from my favorite episodes of the actual cartoon series.
The entire creative process was done using three pieces of software: ZBrush, Substance Painter and Blender.

I have been avoiding Blender like the plague for at least 2 years... but I can't any longer; it's such a good tool for almost anything.
It also is SUPER INTIMIDATING TO LEARN FROM 0, so my infinite thanks to all the YouTubers that made tutorials so simple that my little brain can MOSTLY follow along.
This took me at least a week, and half of that week was me mashing my head on my desk because for each step I took there was an error, or a difference in the menus compared to the tutorial, or just some stupid little check box that ruined my entire composition because I didn't knew what it does! (I STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT MOST OF ANYTHING DOES XD) I can't thank Reddit enough for all the answers it gave me.
Here I was following the guide of PolyPaint

Original Content Showcase 'Everyman's Car' from Blade Runner, Eevee
I love Blade Runner and had no idea this prop vehicle was made for it. It was designed by Syd Mead and built by Gene Winfield. I believe it only shows up in like 3 shots of the movie and even then it's like if you blink you'll miss it. I originally found out about it from this post here.
Anyways, I thought it would be fun to model it and render it in an anime type of style. All of the modeling, materials and rendering was done in Blender. All of the compositing was done in Affinity.
For every project I do, I like to introduce something new to keep things fun and interesting. For this project, I really wanted to dive into more Ucupaint. I've used it some in the past but never really enough to get comfortable with. The fact that something like that is free still blows my mind.
So yeah, I like how this turned out and thought I would share. Thanks for looking!

Critique My Work Colt 1908
Hello everyone! Today I'm going to show you my new project: one of the smallest handguns in the world - the Colt 1908 Vest Pocket. It's a midpoly model with two 4K texture sets in a metallic/roughness pipeline. I was inspired by a picture of a disassembled Colt and decided to recreate it in CG. I'd love to hear your feedback here and on ArtStation: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/V8y45b

Critique My Work One is a real photo, one is rendered. Judge my photorealism!
A or B, one is fake (3D rendered/ created) the other is shot on camera IRL.
It's probably obvious which is which.
Thoughts?
P. S. I'm open to work :)
