For this challenge we salute one of our own. If you have not heard the news yet, Honoluludesktop passed away recently. There is a thread about his passing here: viewtopic.php?f=179&t=40819
Box, our winner of the Halloween Part Deux Challenge suggested:

The recently modified rules are still fresh so please read them.
The Official SketchUcation Community Forum Modeling Challenge Rules:
For this challenge you will have 60 min. maximum for modeling and adding textures. Your time spent is on the honor system, if you cheat you are only cheating yourself.
You can use an unlimited amount of preparation time for thinking, sketching, researching, collecting textures or scratching your head but NOT FOR MODELING. Again, this is on the honor system.
From now on only one (1) entry will be allowed so choose you subject wisely and make it count. If you post up more than one entry it will be removed.
For your submission please provide:
A textured image.
A hidden line or xray/hidden line image.
Your image is to be SketchUp output only.
Yes you can use the SketchUp Styles.
No you cannot post a rendering using Twilight, Thea, Vray etc…
A maximum 1000w x 800h pixel image is allowed. If you post any larger your image will be removed.
Finally, as enthusiastic as some of you are about rendering and sharing please do not post any renderings in the gallery or post models in the component forums until the competition is over as they could solicit votes.
The textured image will be used for the voting element of the challenge. The community will vote for their favorite entry once the competition has ended and the winner will choose the next theme.
Have Fun!

I didn´t have the time to add gills. And also forgot to add nostrils
"An 'aumakua was actually a dead ancestor's spirit that was deified into an entity. Could be clouds or trees or animals. But the best known of the 'aumakua seems to be the shark"
Here's my entry... Just tried a simple technique for the coconut tree.. It renders really well. As the leaves are a png they show some unwanted textures in the sketchup, but render fine. Will put up some of the images after the competition is over. It took me around 20 mins to model. Have made 3 variants of the tree and written honoluludesktop in an ode the late sketchup guru. May he R.I.P.
I'm sure this project would had pleased you by its gentle spirit.... and maybe you have known and possibly visit it
House for Listening to Rain (2011) from Lynne Yamamoto
http://www.honoluluacademy.org/art/exhibitions/11910-lynne_yamamoto_house_listening_rain The Contemporary Museum, Honolulu House is a place to sit and attend to the garden with all the senses. Nearly all the lumber came from Re-use Hawai'i, and from one house. The stumps were lent by the University of Hawai'i Art Department. Corrugated metal roofing was chosen to remember plantation houses.

This is such a beautiful idea, Simon. But in the other hand, I would´t expect nothing less from you. Thanks for that sound of rain - I´m going back to bed
