Here is my scarecrow for the first competition I have ever submitted to. I feel great on how it turned out and even better that I made it in time! Thank you to sites like blendercookie.com and blenderguru.com for their wealth of information, all the people on #blender IRC channel, and my loving family who supported me throughout the whole process!
All work done exclusively in Blender 2.64 aside from some minor texture adjustments in Gimp.
