ISY's October Spooktacular Customizing Event!
« on: October 20, 2011, 04:09:44 AM »
Hot off the heels of Clint's awesome Mando contest we bring you another customizing event for the Halloween season!

You do need to be a member here at the yards and you must have 10 posts under your belt to enter. Starting October 20 and entries are due in by October 31st at midnight. This one is wide open guys and gals, your entry simply needs to relate to Halloween in some form. You could make a figure that is wearing a costume, cross over a Star Wars character with a Horror film character,  Zombies or Death Trooper, so many possabilities! This one is open to any verse, Marvel, Transformers, GI Joe, Star Wars, anything that you want to use will work. We are also allowing photoshoped entries for the first time. You can do a virtual custom if you don't have the fodder available of just create a background. We are also open to any scale figure from Micro figures to life size or 1 to 1 scale. We would like to see your 6 best pictures submitted and it does need to be a new custom not posted on the web before. This one should be a lot of fun and yield many diverse entries! Hang on to your mask and let's see what you come up with!

Sounds like fun, LE! Would shots of a Halloween costume work as an entry?

Glad to see we have a few people chiming in. I have started my entry and it is one of the crazies things I have ever pieced together. I am really into the Myan culture and the art from that period. I am trying to do a Star Wars X Myan crossover. I hope to have some pics this weekend, I showed the WIP to Jules and to quote him, "Man that is just mental!"  Any one else care to share their plans or a WIP pic?

There is no limit. Everything is wide open as this is not a contest and the prize is having fun and creating an awesome custom!

I am about half swamped at the moment and will be till the holidays and will probably just take pics of my dorky Fett costume. I think that his gun will turn out cool though.
