Wilhelm screamer Posted April 17, 2008 Posted April 17, 2008 Even though it does look a bit rushed, your vig is pretty decent, Wilhelm! The smoke is recognizable as such and the story is pretty funny and easy to comprehend! Still, here is a little tip: If you have enogh of them, use ice cream balls for the smoke effect! It will make it look much more cloud-like! . Oky Wan Kenobi, thank you for the welcome response, I sadly do not have any of those "ice cream balls" what so ever, I simply can not afford to purchase a set for parts, nor can I use Bricklink . Also, in most of the pics you can't see the bad kid's face which is not good as it is an essential part of the comedy. Maybe it's because of the helmet, but maybe you should try having him look over his shoulder at the missile or something. In that case, a more scared than angry looking face would be good, but if you don't have one, it's o.k. ; the EF head will do just fine! The helmet was crooked when I took the photos (I sadly also lack any "scared" expressions, so I went with the Exo-Force head), but I did not realize this until after my entry was submitted (because I did not know the deadline was extended I did not think to replace the photo, which I am pretty sure is illegal). I actualy had a much better entry ready to go, but I thought that the fate of the baned member (not based on any real ones) would not be easily noticed by people glancing at the picture when they vote (hint: brain slurry). wilhelm, please make your pics about 20 times smaller, as they would take forever to load. ididnt see youre entry yet, but i hope to. Neither, my camera nor computer can't get the photos any smaller . Is the resizing feature of the site for over-sized pics working for you? It does for me, mabey something is wrong with your computer, ofense not intended JimButcher. Quote
Oky Posted April 17, 2008 Posted April 17, 2008 (edited) Oky Wan Kenobi, thank you for the welcome response, I sadly do not have any of those "ice cream balls" what so ever, I simply can not afford to purchase a set for parts, nor can I use Bricklink . Well, that sucks, but it was just a tip anyway. The helmet was crooked when I took the photos (I sadly also lack any "scared" expressions, so I went with the Exo-Force head), but I did not realize this until after my entry was submitted (because I did not know the deadline was extended I did not think to replace the photo, which I am pretty sure is illegal). I actualy had a much better entry ready to go, but I thought that the fate of the baned member (not based on any real ones) would not be easily noticed by people glancing at the picture when they vote (hint: brain slurry). As I said, the EF head works just fine, but if you would like to have a scared face like the one in my entry, the cheapest set it comes in is the Knights BP as far as I know. About your entry in general: Now that you know the new deadline, why not replace it with the other, better one you're talking about or at least post better pics of this one? I don't care about the fate of the banned member; I just wanna see him suffer! And yeah, after the deadline, it is not only illegal, but also impossible to change your entry as the admins close the thread. Edited April 17, 2008 by Oky Wan Kenobi Quote
JimBee Posted April 17, 2008 Posted April 17, 2008 my apologies, wilhelm screamer. i was using a different PC than my own, and its a 1995, so the pics wouldnt load fast enough. anyway, pretty funny, but kids arent supposed to drink beer! (just kidding) Quote

Wilhelm screamer Posted April 21, 2008 Posted April 21, 2008 Just curious, are the new pics of my model better? If not I have a whole week of vacation to take new pictures. Quote
Corvus Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 Just curious, are the new pics of my model better? If not I have a whole week of vacation to take new pictures. Maybe it should be free soda, most of the banned members don't drink beer... It's great! The missile and the printed peice are great. Could you resize them in the future, please? I know the website shrinks them automatically, but it still takes time to load. Quote
Piranha Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 Horrah! The contest has been extended! I haven't been very active lately because I am sick If I feel better later this week then I will have to try and enter! I guess this is what happens when you leave everything to the last second possible Quote
