This year was exciting for me, as I decided to build up courage and stamina to enter the graphics competition. I had started around late june a promising sculpting project, which I then had a good idea for, how to expand it. I decided quite early to have a humorous approach with my entry, so I made the diver riding the goldfish chubby and his equipment far from modern.<\/p>\n<p>[center_images]<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_849\" style=\"width: 286px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-849\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-849\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/jennytirkkonen.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/kultakala_almost-there1.png\" width=\"276\" height=\"384\" srcset=\"http:\/\/jennytirkkonen.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/kultakala_almost-there1.png 479w, http:\/\/jennytirkkonen.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/kultakala_almost-there1-215x300.png 215w, http:\/\/jennytirkkonen.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/kultakala_almost-there1-387x540.png 387w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 276px) 100vw, 276px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-849\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hmm&#8230;.how would it look if someone rode this fella?<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_853\" style=\"width: 320px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-853\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-853\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/jennytirkkonen.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/sukeltaja_vailla-tekstuuria2.png\" width=\"310\" height=\"394\" srcset=\"http:\/\/jennytirkkonen.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/sukeltaja_vailla-tekstuuria2.png 586w, http:\/\/jennytirkkonen.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/sukeltaja_vailla-tekstuuria2-235x300.png 235w, http:\/\/jennytirkkonen.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/sukeltaja_vailla-tekstuuria2-424x540.png 424w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 310px) 100vw, 310px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-853\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">I&#8217;mma catch myself a goldfish and ride that silly thing!<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/center_images]<\/p>\n<p>Was it a smooth road then? Well, the amount of work was staggering for the time I had. I was hellbent on getting this done on time, and I did. For everyone wanting to lose weight I do recommend trying a large 3D project with severe deadlines, picking up new techniques on the fly and rendering your work with a terribly slow old laptop&#8230;.I guarantee it keeps the adrenaline flowing and you forget quickly eating or sleeping is a necessity&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>[center_images]<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_843\" style=\"width: 591px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-843\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-843 \" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/jennytirkkonen.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/stage6.png\" width=\"581\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"http:\/\/jennytirkkonen.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/stage6.png 1680w, http:\/\/jennytirkkonen.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/stage6-300x180.png 300w, http:\/\/jennytirkkonen.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/stage6-720x432.png 720w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 581px) 100vw, 581px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-843\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">5 am on the day of the deadline and ready to render!<\/p><\/div>\n<p>[\/center_images]<\/p>\n<p>Alas, my piece did not make it, with a 0.25 points margin to the qualification limit. I was pretty struck by this. I admit my work has its errors, for example the main item (goldfish and the rider), were not really meant for horizontal presentation and when the rules required for it, it left the work with a lot of empty space, which had no proper use (or time to come up with any) and the main item being extremely far and small in the final image. Oh well.

Also, I will definitely read the instructions before starting to work, not one day before rendering&#8230;!<\/p>\n<p>[center_images]<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_834\" style=\"width: 632px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-834\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-834   \" alt=\"The final image\" src=\"http:\/\/jennytirkkonen.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/kultakalarodeo_2_signature.png\" width=\"622\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"http:\/\/jennytirkkonen.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/kultakalarodeo_2_signature.png 1920w, http:\/\/jennytirkkonen.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/kultakalarodeo_2_signature-300x168.png 300w, http:\/\/jennytirkkonen.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/kultakalarodeo_2_signature-662x372.png 662w, http:\/\/jennytirkkonen.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/kultakalarodeo_2_signature-720x405.png 720w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 622px) 100vw, 622px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-834\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The final image<\/p><\/div>\n<p>[\/center_images]<\/p>\n<p>All in all the fair was a fun event.
