Morgan19 Posted October 10, 2010 Posted October 10, 2010 (edited) Okay so the vig's not the focus, it's just something to have the figure exist in. Sorry if that'd be clarified before! I swear I went through the thread and didn't see anything that addressed in that specifically. Thanks for the reply. Message received, idea genereated. Now off to do some creating. :) m19 Edited October 10, 2010 by Morgan19 Quote

I swear I went through the thread and didn't see anything that addressed in that specifically. Yeah I think so too, the vig is not the focus but the custom cosplayer minifig (this is a Minifig CW contest afterall ). But since the vig is still part of the presentation voters will most probably take that into consideration too. Quote

I swear I went through the thread and didn't see anything that addressed in that specifically. Well, not exaclty: the main focus is the minifig, but the vig must hype the fig and give it a context where to shine from As KielDaMan said, the voters will take into consideration the presentation of your custom (hence the vignette) for the voting. Good luck with your entry! Quote
Darth Jar Jar Posted October 10, 2010 Posted October 10, 2010 (edited) So are we allowed to create our own decals but not use someone else's? BTW the will be my first custom already got the idea Edited October 10, 2010 by Darth Jar Jar Quote
LuxorV Posted October 10, 2010 Author Posted October 10, 2010 That is right. You can create any new decal you may need, but cannot use parts produced by others. Quote
Morgan19 Posted October 10, 2010 Posted October 10, 2010 (edited) Last comment, I swear... I think I chose the wrong words in previous reply. I didn't mean to say that the vignette wasn't crucial to an entry, but rather was expressing understanding that the figure was MOST important and that the rules were't locking down WHERE the vignette needed to be depicting (home, convention, etc.). I didn't mean to imply I thought the vig wasn't an important aspect. :) Hopefully that makes sense... m19 Edited October 10, 2010 by Morgan19 Quote
LuxorV Posted October 10, 2010 Author Posted October 10, 2010 It all makes sense, do not worry about that. I am glad we came to an understanding. These explainations need to be given in every contest. It is just the misfortunate entrant who askes the highly topical issue who gets burned while light is revealed (it happened to me once when I was a young Fellow, and Shadows got pretty caustical in his reply!).

XimenaPaulina Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 (edited) Hey LuxorV, I just wanted to point out that you misspelled my name and entry name in the Entries list - it should be KielDaMan - Kielito Buu and not KeilDaMan - Keito Buu. Sorry for the strange sounding names. Thanks in advance for the correction. Edited October 11, 2010 by KielDaMan Quote
LuxorV Posted October 11, 2010 Author Posted October 11, 2010 My mistake That's what I get for doing things in a hurry before leaving home, I suppose Quote

Morgan19 Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 (edited) Nevermind. ;) m19 Edited October 13, 2010 by Morgan19 Quote
SilentMode Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 All right folks: after battling through some doubt I'm almost ready to reveal my entry. The only thing missing is a facial decal, which I'll have to hunt down some special paper for. (The stuff I have at present gives a white background when dried.) Quote

Good thing the deadline was extended to the 27th of October then! Quote
WhiteFang Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 Good thing the deadline was extended to the 27th of October then! Now, everyone let's buck up, shall we? Looking forward to see more new exciting entrants. Quote
SilentMode Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 Good thing the deadline was extended to the 27th of October then! WHAT?! That is good news, I suppose - I can experiment with hairpieces. Quote
Darth Jar Jar Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 Good thing the deadline was extended to the 27th of October then! Deadline extended Now I will be able to enter Quote
XimenaPaulina Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 Deadline extended Now I will be able to enter Go now and start working on your entry! Quote
Matn Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 Wow! Thanks for extending the deadline, it's greatly appreciated. The colour of the hair didn't come out right and I'm experiencing some problems with making a skirt (I even thought about not using it), so now I can go and buy a new can to paint the hair and think about something good for the other piece. Thanks again. Hopefully we'll see some more entries now also. Quote
Baylego Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 Thank you for extending the deadline! I have had a hard time figuring out what to make, so this means I might still be able to enter. Quote
Darth Jar Jar Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 Go now and start working on your entry! Im just going out to buy some stuff for it decal paper and sculpey Quote
Morgan19 Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 Yah, the extension is awesome, thank you! I hadn't even see the contest until last week so I was feeling a bit pressed for time. Again, thanks! m19 Quote
iamded Posted October 15, 2010 Posted October 15, 2010 Whew, I added the last coat of paint today and it usually takes a couple to days to dry, so when I saw the 'Last days reminder' title I freaked a bit. But thanks for the extension! I can't wait to see what other entries people come up with! Good luck all. ~Peace Quote
eclipsegrafx Posted October 18, 2010 Posted October 18, 2010 Not sure if I missed it or not but how many entries are we allowed? I have 2 different ideas I want to do but don't know which would be better. Also, if possible to know, what will the judge(s) be looking for in the winning figs? Thanks. Quote
LuxorV Posted October 18, 2010 Author Posted October 18, 2010 Hi eclipsegrafx, and welcome to Eurobricks! Not sure if I missed it or not but how many entries are we allowed? I have 2 different ideas I want to do but don't know which would be better. Also, if possible to know, what will the judge(s) be looking for in the winning figs? Thanks. Only one entry is allowed per member. Hope you can work a choice between your 2 options First of all, you may need to know that here all the members registered before the voting starts will be the judges, through a public voting topic. They will consider the whole entry: kind of minifig, details of the customisation and its level, and vignette/presentation. All in all, they'll pick their favourite entry based on what strikes them most in it. Moreover, as we use here on EB, each voter will be able to spend 3 votes on his favourite entry/es. This gives better chances of winning to you entrants, and a better way to express their choices to the voters Quote
Flare Posted October 18, 2010 Posted October 18, 2010 Thank you so much for extending the deadline! I wasn't able to work on my entry earlier (I was quite disappointed) but now I have time to work on it so I will get it up soon... thanks Quote
