Welcome to the latest
Slayer Design Studio Toy Customizer Contest The contest theme is Shadows of the Night "People are happy being oblivious to what hides in the darkness." What if the paranormal co-existed in secret with the mundane? That hairy postman just might be a werewolf... That gang of thugs could be a clan of vampires...that black car could just be a demon-possessed ride... Those creatures cryptozoologists seek really do exist... Your task is to create a custom that fits into the theme. I have provided you with a list if inspirational references: Dresden Files Buffy the Vampire Slayer Angel Hellboy Urban Arcana 2 Dark Matter, 2 The X-Files Otherworld These are just references and you are not required to copy any of them. Note: While it is preferred that your custom is original, I won't deny you the opportunity to create known creatures or existing characters. However, the existing characters should already be part of the theme. If you do something like "Snake Eyes the Vampire Slayer", it WILL be disqualified. Construction This contest is open to customizers of all toy lines. Although SDS deals primarily 1:18th scale action figures, the contests are not restricted 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 our Finished Customs section (registration required). Your title should start with "6/11 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 and will not be used for judging the presentation category. • You must include a recipe list. • Please indicate how long it took you to make. • It will also help you to 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 the 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 reduced down to the "best" one for final entry. Entries are due Saturday, July 2nd, by 11:59pm EST. Your entry must be made for this contest alone. You may not enter anything that has been previously posted here or posted elsewhere. Once you post it here 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 here at Slayer Design Studio. Prizes All valid entrants will get a 15% discount code to be used on the PO immediately following the contest. For each contest you participate in a row, we'll add 5% to the code up to a 30% discount. A first place entrant will be determined from a list of finalists by member judging. In addition to the discount, that entrant will receive a parts prize pack. As an added bonus, he/she will also get to request a special part (head, torso, prop or weapon) to be created by SDS artists and added to the store. (Exception: No self customs) 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?) Only the photos included in your post will count. 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! SDS members will vote on your paint and form. A lack of effort will show, and they will rate you low for it. Please mind the rules so your entry is not disqualified. Entries with problems will remain disqualified unless you can correct the issue. When in doubt, ask me. Good Luck and please spread the word! |
