I wish I wasn't headed to wyoming in a week... I'd love to get in on this contest.  I just don't have time before I leave!  heck... Idk where I'd begin though...

jen... this might be an awkward request for you to full-fill but if I were to make an entry I'd like to take a stab at reproducing your tats... would you be willing to give a close up of some of your more prominent tattoos?  If on the off-hand chance that I do wind up entering this contest...

Not an odd request at all, makes total sense to me. I will get some shots and post them in this thread for anyone who wants to use them for reference.

You guys are so funny!!! I know you're not creepy pervs ;) I want to wish everyone good luck and I can't wait to see your submissions 0/

@Tamer: Thank you so much :D


@Clonehead: I am opting out of this contest for a few reasons. I am behind on a custom I'm currently working on since there is never enough time in the day, I ordered parts to make a custom Jenn, but they are made to order and won't be in for a month, and the most important: I don't feel that it would be fair for me to enter this one. But I'm super-excited and can't wait to see everyones work :D

Have an idea for a custom that would be a lot of fun and I already have all the parts I would need.  I just wonder if I have enough time to pull it off.   I doubt anyone will be doing this too.

A thought: I know the real reward is making the custom, but perhaps you could offer a custom card to the winner? I don't know how you handle printing the cardsets, so it might not be feasible, but it would be cool if the winner could get a set of custom cards of their own work including their custom of Jenn. Could even do a set of cards of the top favorites from the contest?

Just some thoughts, it's a cool idea and your cards are awesome... just think it'd sweeten the pot a bit for the winner to get some cards of their own creations. :)
