Now to find a free tombstone, a cane, and a cast for V4. Galadriel will do for the dress, and a black texture for it will serve as a second freebie. She'll need shoes, too. That leaves at least two more freebies... one of which can be the terrain/backdrop. The other... the usual cheat of adding jewelry isn't really appropriate here... a hat, maybe? Edit: D'oh! Free hair and a face morph - nothing says I can't have more than eight freebies, and she needs to look not like Victoria.

Now to assemble them...)
Or not. The face and hair refused to load, for whatever reason - not a problem; http://www.sharecg.com/v/45419/browse/1 ... ace-for-V4]different face, http://mint3d.pp.fi/downloads/DLHair.htm]different hair. Those are not a problem.
But the grassy hill loads with a black foreground instead of a green one, and no amount of playing with the lighting fixes the problem (http://web.ncf.ca/fm536/renders/apology.png]like so - this one has just a diffuse light directly over the zero-point on the grid)... This is a problem. And it's time for me to go to bed; I'm tired. Anyone have any ideas what I'm missing? (Alternately, I can pretend a cloud is obscuring the sun in this area, but then the gravestones need to be darkened, and I don't really want to do that...)
Edit: Fixed the lazy way - by changing the prop altogether. This image is now done, and about to be submitted to the contest.
Re-Edit: It appears to be popular... so much so that one of the contest regulars did something similar and credited me with the inspiration.
Edit again: http://sites.google.com/site/dazfreebie ... s/july2011]The competition - there are 12 entries in the first 12 days, which is about half as many as last month. I think some people are giving the "survivor" meme a bit of a twist... and there's nothing wrong with that.
