Shadows Posted October 20, 2010 Posted October 20, 2010 Halloween 2010 Welcome to Halloween 2010. It isn't so much a month as a state of mind. That and it isn't a full month, it's a mini-month running until November 1st. I know that Halloween isn't practiced around the world, but how many things really are done everywhere? For those of you who aren't normally involved in it, this is a chance to experience something new. Well, not overly new, this is going to be an almost exact rip off of the wildly successful Prince of Persia month, except spookier! (yes, that might include a PoP Mafia style bloodbath, just give me time) Halloween Avatar Contest It's simple, it's fun, it's a chance to win a prize in the form of tag or title. Plus it's a chance to have some fun! What to do: Spook up your avatar! That's it. You can take your normal sigfig and dress them up for Halloween or recreate your favourite scene from a horror movie, abuse a staff sigfig Halloween style, or just do something spooky and silly. Whatever you do, make it a crowd pleaser because there will be voting at the end and prizes awarded. Put your spookiest foot forward, or 3 feet, or claws, or some tentacles. Whatever you've got. The Rules: There are no rules except to include LEGO or the drawn representation of LEGO and post your new avatar here (and use it, of course). Once you've done that, you're entered! Now get spooking! Quote
Masked Builder Posted October 20, 2010 Posted October 20, 2010 I'll see what I can come up with. (i don't have much in the way of older minifigures ) Quote
yumiyoshi Posted October 20, 2010 Posted October 20, 2010 Brilliant idea! A spooky forum with spooky avatars! :D I'll think about something... Quote
Brickdoctor Posted October 20, 2010 Posted October 20, 2010 Great idea! I missed out on PoP month, so I'll see what I can come up with for this. Quote
Izzy Posted October 20, 2010 Posted October 20, 2010 Ooh Rick that is creepy! I thought "No it's not. Its the same as ever" And refreshed my page and as it was loading it started flashing and scared the crap out of me. Very nice work indeed. Mine is done! Apparently Avatar Iz can juggle. Lucky (and talented) girl! Quote
JimBee Posted October 20, 2010 Posted October 20, 2010 Ooh Rick that is creepy! I thought "No it's not. Its the same as ever" And refreshed my page and as it was loading it started flashing and scared the crap out of me. Very nice work indeed. I had the exact same reaction! Love your "Monster" avatar, too, Iz. I updated my avatar yesterday. I've had for a few years, and use it every Halloween. I remember it was my first try at photoshopping a background into one of my pictures, so I thought the accidental shadows left behind looked cool. It has the Ventress head turned backwards to look like Jigsaw from the Saw movies. I'll edit this post later for a larger image. Quote
Mrlegoninja Posted October 20, 2010 Posted October 20, 2010 Yes, thata was quite freaky Rick. I might try this, but like all the other contests, I will probably never get to it. Quote
Brickdoctor Posted October 20, 2010 Posted October 20, 2010 (edited) Question: If I made an avatar in two versions, Greyscale and Color, would I be allowed to ask in another forum which was better before entering? Decided to go with color, since the lighting didn't look good in B&W. Edited October 21, 2010 by Brickdoctor Quote
Cecilie Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 I wonder what has happened to my avatar. Is this her true self? I hope not Quote
WhiteFang Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 Done! Your freaking Halloween avatar gave me a shock when I was reading past your post. Quote
prateek Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 Your freaking Halloween avatar gave me a shock when I was reading past your post. Isn't that the whole point Quote
Shadows Posted October 22, 2010 Author Posted October 22, 2010 Nice job so far, everyone! Well, except Rick. Decided to go with color, since the lighting didn't look good in B&W. A retrofuturistic retelling of The Raven, perhaps? I like it. Quote
XimenaPaulina Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 Oh my, talk abour clairvoyance. When I saw Rick's Halloween avatar yesterday, I though it was really cool and never knew it was for a contest, so I decided to have a minor change on my avi last night. Then I read this today that this will be a contest. Yay! Now I have to spookyfy my avi more. Quote
XimenaPaulina Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 (edited) I'm still choosing between these two: The simpler and more conservative: Or this nightmare-inducing one: Nah, I chose the 'scarier' one. Edited October 22, 2010 by KielDaMan Quote
prateek Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 The simpler and more conservative: I almost pooped myself when I saw that! Quote
Mrlegoninja Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 I almost pooped myself when I saw that! As did I. Quote
Brickdoctor Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 Nice job so far, everyone! Well, except Rick. A retrofuturistic retelling of The Raven, perhaps? I like it. Yep. I've also got the famous line(s) as a closing in my sig. Quote
Jebediahs Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 I'm good. Hahaha It appears this young troll has had an allergic reaction to the poorly applied lipstick. Sorry, I don't have a real camera yet. ORC...TROLL? Quote
Zorbas Posted October 23, 2010 Posted October 23, 2010 Done! Great spooky avatar Rick! I even like the tempo, very succesful. Now tell your sig-fig to move its finger out of the socket. Quote
Big Cam Posted October 23, 2010 Posted October 23, 2010 I love avatar requests, it prompts me to modifiy mine further. I have an idea. Quote
Lego Freak Posted October 23, 2010 Posted October 23, 2010 (edited) Okay, I've made a Halloween avatar. Its just some guy getting scared by a flying pumpkin or something like that. Nothing special, but it serves its purpose. Edited October 23, 2010 by Lego Freak Quote
Emperor Claudius Rome Posted October 23, 2010 Posted October 23, 2010 (edited) Well, I couldn't decide what theme my Halloween Avatar should belong to, so I combined them all! Behold, the Swashbuckling-Viking-Legionnaire Troll of Persia! Edited October 23, 2010 by Emperor Claudius Rome Quote
