F-ing blender taking seven tries and sixteen hour to get a render that looks like it should do for the contest but somehow still fails to work when submitted. Seriously it took me maybe three hours of work to learn how to do the things I wanted to do and to do them. I learned about creating hair and colouring it, as well as textures and lighting arrangments in about an hour and a half, and created a fuzzy pink Kittypillar(cross between a cat an a caterpillar) raygun with glowing power cell in the grip, and glowing emitter, lit from the sid and overhead in another hour and a half.
Since then it's been rendered which took as long as making it, fine tuned, rendered, submitted (failed), adjusted, rerendered, submitted (failed), adjusted, rerendered (tweaked out). Quit the program and restarted loading from a save, adjusted and rendered (took forever) quit program started again and simplified the design before submitting again (still pending).
I just don't know why it's freaking out or refusing to submit.
