Toy Customizer is hosting a new Customs Contest
The contest is sponsored by: The contest theme is Alternative Realities "A parallel universe or alternative reality is a hypothetical self-contained separate reality coexisting with one's own." Your task is to create a custom that fits in with one of the themes below. This usually works best with existing intellectual properties, but some exceptions could be made. 1- Steampunk: "involves an era or world where steam power is still widely used—usually the 19th century and often Victorian era Britain—that incorporates prominent elements of either science fiction or fantasy." -Wikipedia 2- Mirror, Mirror: "The characters in the Mirror Universe are generally the same as the characters in "normal" continuity, but their personalities are, on the whole, much more aggressive, mistrustful, and opportunistic." -Wikipedia 3- Cyberpunk: "features advanced science, such as information technology and cybernetics, coupled with a degree of breakdown or radical change in the social order." -Wikipedia 4- Alternate History: "is a genre of fiction consisting of stories that are set in worlds in which history has diverged from the actual history of the world." -Wikipedia 5- Space Opera: "is a subgenre of speculative fiction that emphasizes romantic, often melodramatic adventure, set mainly or entirely in outer space, generally involving conflict between opponents possessing advanced technologies and abilities." -Wikipedia 6- Your own Theme: Apply your own theme to an existing property. The above ideas are the main suggestions. If you have a different idea that you think fits, email me. I'll let you know if it will be accepted before you begin. Construction This contest is open to customizers of all toy lines. Since ToyCustomizer.com does not restrict itself to any particular toy style, your custom can be made of any type of toy or even scratch built. It doesn't have to be a figure. It can be a vehicle, toy gun (Nerf), building blocks (lego), etc. There must be some sort of physical modification (sculpting, part swapping/adding) and painting. How to Enter • Create a post in the ToyCustomizer Finished Customs section. Your title should start with "4/11 Contest Entry". This will help me sort through the threads. • You must include a minimum of 4 pictures of your entry in the post. (Off-site image galleries do not count toward this minimum.) • You must include a recipe list. • Please indicate how long it took you to make. • It will also help if you write a few words about the idea for your entry. The Details Anyone may join this contest. This includes people who just find out about my site through this contest. You can be a first time customizer or a professional. Previous winners may win again. You are welcome to submit as many entries as you wish. If you want them considered separate entries, they should be in separate posts. Please note that multiple entries will be pre-voted and consolidated down to the "best" one for final entry. Entries are due Saturday, April 30th, by 11:59pm EST. Your entry must be made for this contest alone. You may not enter anything that has been previously posted anywhere. Once you post it at ToyCustomizer.com for the purposes of the contest, you may post them elsewhere to promote your entry. To remain qualified, any off-site posts may not be a full gallery (1 or 2 pics maximum) and MUST include a link back to your official entry at Toy Customizer. Prizes All valid entrants will get a mini prize pack from Slayer Design Studios. That's right, you get something cool just for submitting a valid entry! The parts are randomly determined, although they are scaled for 3 3/4" figures. If you are not a 3 3/4" customizer, let me know when you post your entry. (I'll see what can be done.) A first place entrant will be determined, from a list of finalists. That entrant will receive additional bonuses added to their prize pack. How to Qualify for the Win (i.e. How Not to Suck) Post only clear detailed images. Blurry images take a lot away from the entry. On the same note, small phone images don't help either. Use an image resizer to cut, crop and resize your images so that we mostly see your entry not your dirty laundry hanging in the background. Thematic photos are a big plus. Note that your entry is rated on Presentation! (If people can't make out your entry, how can they give it a good score in other categories?) Be creative. Think outside the box! Try to do something that has not been done before. If your idea seems rehashed you may score low in "Creativity". Unique ideas score higher! Put some effort into it! Toy Customizer members will vote on your paint and Form, so lack of effort will show, and they will rate you low for it. Please mind the rules so your entry is not disqualified. As of this contest, failure to meet qualifications will get you disqualified unless you can correct the issue. When in doubt, ask me. Good Luck and please spread the word!

Would a Dragon Age theme be acceptable? I'm still working on a few original characters based on some of the species in the series...

If you can take an existing character and redesign them for a medieval fantasy world, or take a Dragon Age character and redesign them for a different reality, then yes. |
