TENIME_art Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Hmm...lesse...the first two contests I poured my heart and soul into, and didn't even place as honorable mention... What the h***? I'll do it anyways... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amazing.JL Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 ^You could look at it this way, you at least get votes as some don't get any! I'll also add that there is a master customizer on this board that hasn't won in four contests. You just never know. There are just a lot of different things that come into play when voters choose which custom they like. Besides detail, cleanliness, and complexity, it can be the very obscure to the very popular that can sway votes. Too many people try too much for the prizes, some that have won are shocked when they win. Remember contests are supposed to be fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drgnrbrn316 Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Hey, as long as one person liked my entry, I could care less if I win anything for my hard work. I never feel that anyone owes me anything for my custom work, and I'm sure Tenime feels the same. For each of these contests, I've always used it as a chance to try something different. For the custom contest back on the old AA forum, I went with a literary character that I used as my namesake. For the Comic Cover contest, I tried making six brand new figures in a short time span and tinkered around with Photoshop for one of the first times. For the Sci-Fi contest, I tried light up figures. And for the Villain contest...well, that wouldn't be fair to ruin the surprise. :biggrin: I've been away from here for a while due to some personal sh*t in my life, but I'm back now and I plan on pouring another strong effort into this contest.

TENIME_art Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 I started this at 5:30am this morning (his red eye was just freshly painted when I took the picture)!! I'd always wanted to try this idea with this figure, and thanks to this contest and some extra TRU SF/DS packs...I give you: METALLO: No, his chest doesn't glow, but I instigated the same "light-piping" method I used with my Transformer Shockwave (no paint on his back, allowing light to glow through the front)...There were two light sources, one light in front (hitting the figures), and one in back (shining through towards the camera)! His right arm and leg are silver, the red glare is from Supes' cape... Hope everyone likes him! (loose source:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the gay community will love you Oh.. you mean the contest, dont let someone making a v.cool entry put you off, there are many prizes and you should be doing it for fun of takig part not thinking "oh I dont think I can do better than that so I wont bother" if ya do that with everything in life you'd be living in a cardboard box under the freeway.
