Freebie Challenge JUN/JUL 2023 - Holes, Gaps, Caves, Tunnels - Entries Thread Only
Riddle me this: What gets smaller the more you add to it? A hole of course!
Doughnuts have one hole, Swiss cheese has many. A space traveller may fly through a black hole to reach a distant galaxy, an accountant may discover a hole in the yearly budget. Environmentalists sound the alarm about the hole in the ozon layer, dad keeps having trouble with the third hole on the golf course. Have you ever loved someone so much, you can feel their absence like a hole in your heart? Or perhaps you just want to lay back and listen to the great 90es alt-rock band Hole!
This theme will run for two months, untill July 31th
The Rules For This Months Freebie Challenge are:
1. A minimum of (5) Freebies must be included in your image along with Links to the freebies you have used. For an item to be considered free it must be offered as a freebie for the whole month. The exception to this rule is all Daz Bi-Weekly Freebies will be allowed throughout the entire month in which they are free as well as the month following their release as a freebie (For a total of 2 months). Also, if a freebie is broken down into multiple downloads/links/parts (IE like if the freebie is broken down into 3 zips etc...)it only counts as 1 freebie, not 3.
2. There will be a Maximum of 5 purchased items.
3. Base figures (All Gen 2,3,4, and Genesis 1,2,3) as well as their general morphs packs (Morphs++ and similar) do not count as a purchased item or a freebie and may be used as needed

9. The use of image generating AI technology (midjourney, stable diffusion, etc.) is not allowed. The use of items (freebies or paid) that have been created with such technology is also not allowed.

"No cavities! :)"
Starring: TaylorLasha-Angelie
The tale: (Entirely fictional)
"I believe I've seen a huge hole at 48 buccal, and that's like a cave for bacteria, I have to poke it with this dental hook pick to see if it is really a cavity." the dentist joked. "Whod? Wreely?" mumbled TaylorLasha-Angelie. "Nah, I'm just kidding, don't worry, no cavities as always! Well done!"

G2F, Genesis 8 Starter Essentials
Done - my apologies for mixing up the threads this way - thank you for the head's up.
Edit: Since it's been approved in the main thread, I hope it's now okay to move this back to this thread.
Everyone deserves a good laugh once in a while, right?
Now y'all can have a good laugh on my expense.
When I read the thread, I had this image in mind of a wrecking ball punching a hole in a building ... only I failed to find the assets to fit my imagination.
While searching, I ended up scraping the bottle of my freeware archive, unearthing a few assets that were created in the mythical era of the early 2000s.
The result might not exactly be prizeworthy, but, like I wrote initially, I think it's suitable to give you an opportunity to make a little fun of me. Keep it within reason.
The title of the image, slightly adapted from the initial idea, is: Let's punch a couple of holes into this.
Here's a list of the assets I used:

On the page is the direct download link I mentioned, which gives an error message, but choosing the "keep" option downloads the file.

"More than two million tiny little holes"
Starring: TaylorLasha-Angelie
The tale: (Entirely fictional)
"Well, here we go! Are you ready for it? Please move your arm a little more towards me and try to relax some more. For a first tattoo you have chosen a very large one, most people choose a small one to start with. I think setting the lines alone will take two hours or more..."

"These mysterious holes..."
Starring: Walther (2.0)
The tale: (Entirely fictional)
The three mysterious holes had been playing tricks on Walther since the day he noticed them, what the hell are they for? To drain water, for construction work? Walther is clueless and plans to stick his hand in for further investigation. He doesn't like holes at all and certainly not in the road surface!
