With the end of the month we have 3 entries.... not a huge number, but not to worry, more chance of winning...

There is still a few days left, and just a reminder of your prize. The winning entry will be put onto a canvas, the winner will also have an exclusively designed Avtar and Banner...

The entries so far are:

Sith Lord,
Clone Commander
and SquirePc

It would be nice to see a couple more, just to liven thingsw up a bit!

Good luck everyone!

LOL! that's a very good question CC! That's a bit like asking "how do I customise a figure?" there is no easy answer I'm afraid. What I will say is that this is not necessarrily a Photoshop contest. People need to have a bit of imagination. For example Niktom, who creates YAk's Pub, he uses humour, or Spudafett, he has his own unique style when it comes to creating custom figures. Art is not all about technical skill, it's about creativity. If you are creative you can use your imagination to create something that is so unique it can be totally awesome.

If the winning entry cannot be put onto a canvas then an alternate prize will be offered...so don't think you need to be a Photoshop wizard to enter. I will also be asking voters to consider age and creativity before putting forward a vote.

I hope you find something that will tantilise us!

Here is my entry.  I couldn't get the effects I wanted to, mostly because I just don't know how, but I kinda like it still...

MR1,

Good old fashioned pencils, paint,and paper, alternatively a camera, but you may want to add a caption or text to the photo. I'm pretty sure that there are basic photo editing software available free to download. Power point can used to add text, you can then ctrl+prtsc sysRq (print screen) and transfer the work to Microsoft Paint. You'll need to crop the image to complete the job....

LOL!  Thanks for the compliment, Steve, but I'm pretty sure I'm chasing your shadows!

That is Obi-Wan fighting A'Sharad Hett, and the other side is an image I found of old Quinlan Vos.  I just couldn't get the two sides to blend well enough to my liking, but I love the subject matter!
