Why do some Blender hobbyists with a few years of practicing seems to excel some of the trained professionals? You can say they are gifted individuals--as some of the trained professionals are. In any case, Blender--and generous online Blender tutorials--seems to have given these individuals an opportunity to awaken their hidden gifts.
How, then, can you qualify for this award? Please remember that this award is reserved for those that are on par with or that excel top notch works published by artists and studios. If such work does not appear during a given week, this award is not being given to anyone. Please submit your latest work to www.blenderartist.org or to the Member's Gallery of this site, or Contact Us to show where your work is available on the internet. It doesn't have to be a Blender render, internal or Cycles. Any other renderer is fine as long as Blender was used as a part of your workflow.

Artist's Comments
About Me:
My name is Max Detourniere. I'm from Nantes, France, and I've been doing computer graphics as a hobby for the past 3 years.
About "Lost Attic - Souvenirs:"
I had the idea of a lonely wardrobe in an abandoned attic, the idea was really simple at first and then I was inspired by a scene from Gleb Alexandrov, that he made about volumetric lighting. From there I went on to make a warm place, kinda mystic in some ways. But I still had the "abandoned room" idea, so I trashed the scene, changed the lighting, and made a second render, placed some decades later maybe.
