I'd say be creative. Some cool lighting might be interesting.

Perhaps a group of 4 smilies hangin out .. but then it would be cool to have a front view of each of them as well .. maybe in the lower section of the render?

DAZ 3D has a free emoticon guy... I've seen it.. messed with it.. and I will know if someone tries to sneak him in... *squinty eyes* :lol:

I vote for Mega-- the DAZ bunch that Darth mentions looks like cousins to the M&M characters:

Emotifolk seen here:
http://www.daz3d.com/i/3d-models/-/emot ... ta=ab&_m=d

and their "cousins," the M's
http://www.mymms.com/service/locations.asp

[EDIT]
I just remembered the Blender Smileys, that I wish were mega...

enjoy-

This does look quite nice... erm I mean evil..., Unrealbeing!


Question: Is texturing allowed? Then one has to make just a textured sphere... :roll:
So I suggest to disallow excessive texturing (means almost everything through a texture),
some simple texturing is allowed for the eyes for example or the skin texture.
What do you think?

No, thats not what I intended... I think you can let them as they are, because 1) Darth hasn't made a comment on this (He is the one who makes the rules), 2) I think we would make an exception for you, because you've already done your entry and 3) The challenges primarily are a fun way to learn Blender... so at least you've learned something while doing them it is fine.

So don't worry. :wink:
The more entries are in there, the more fun we all have.
