"Going for a song (free render month)"
This month we will be focusing on everything we have learnt so far. The theme of this month's contest is song, so it's a song theme or a theme song, you choose. If can be what you think of when you hear a certain song, how you picture it, what it's about, the options are almost endless, they just tie to one word, song.
Th Community Volunteers will be checking in on the WIP THREAD to try and help with anything you all may need, so feel free to ask questions.
For a list of the current contest rules, please see this thread : Contest Rules
