I hope David posts the info today....Cause I am goin on a trip...

 

[TheBat812]

i think it should get a new thread, when he posts it, because if not, some might miss the actual contest stuff.

 

[antmanx68]

Maybe, if he's planning on doing a poll of some kind.... or maybe since its only for people who are regulars to this thread then its no big deal....

Hey guys,

I'll be posting all the details this evening. I started to compile a list of names for the contest based on who commented on this thread (wow it's a lot of you!) and I wanted to pull my hair out...LOL!
That's going to take a bit of work......but the bottom line is if you commented on this thread up to the date that I announced the contest, then you are in. If you only commented after my announcement then unfortunately you wont qualify.

My desire here is to reward those who stuck by this, supported, offered suggestions or critiques and so on. If you were one of those...then you're in.

The contest should be fun....and there will be ample time to complete your entry/s

Details this evening...probably on the later side of the evening because I'm busy in the studio now..

Funny....sometimes I forget I have a day job.....LOL!

CONTEST DETAILS...IT BEGINS!

IF YOU POSTED IN THIS THREAD SINCE THE VERY FIRST DAY BEING THE 26TH OF AUGUST 2004 AT ANY ONE POINT UNTIL THE 11TH OF JULY 2005 BEFORE THE CONTEST WAS ANNOUNCED THEN YOU QUALIFY TO ENTER. PM'S AND EMAILS DO NOT COUNT...SORRY.

Community support is something I value deeply. I dont think I could have achieved the results I did without your help so this is my way of saying thank you.

Here's the deal....

I will be posting a bunch of pics of the my Begins Chest Piece, The Begins Cowl, Gauntlets, Collar Clips, Cape, Legs and Boots...belt will be the Rubies one but it rocks, Progress pics of me working and finally some pics of me in costume....finally..
I'll also mix it up by posting other Batman items I've made in the past and am currently working on and those can (and hopefully will) be used too. DKR, Bob Kane, 89 stuff, Panther...custom cowls...

The Guidlines are as follows....

Use any of the pics I post or combinations of pics I post and combine them to make one of the following:

- Movie Teaser Poster/ or an Official Poster. Make something up based on what pics I post...
- Desktop Page Picture
- Splash page
- Just make something cool with the photos I post.....

As long as you use at least one of my pics and manipulate it as you like that will be fine with me. Use different backgrounds, different colors...blurr it...I dont know...whatever it is you can do. Artwork drawn by hand is also cool if you dont want to use the computer, just base it on any of the pics I post.

I'm simply looking for something creative to be done with any and all of the pics I post. If you know how to use the various tools in the computer then put them to good use...Photoshop, Flash...whatever...I dont even know what most of that stuff is anyhow... Make it look cool and show us all that effort went into it and you'll have a darn good shot at the prize...

Contest starts once I put up the pics.
I need to finish the legs but we're pretty much there anyhow so I will need a few more days...but once I post the pics....the contest starts.

I'm thinking of having it go approx 3 weeks. Some people expressed that they'd like to be part of this but will be gone for a bit or leaving soon so I figure once I post the pics you'll have 3 weeks to complete your entry/s. I need a few days...week at the most to finish mine anyhow so we should all be fine with that deadline.

- Enter as often as you like.
- Do not openly post your entry until the deadline. I will see about getting an email addy that can handle all the entrys sent to it then I will post them. I may need someone's help with that if one of you guys has the knowhow for this sort of thing...

Once all the entries are posted you will all get a chance to vote on your favorites...and it would be best if the entries were anonymous. Vote on your favorites....once it's narrowed down to a top 10 (if we have a lot of entries) or top 5 or top 3 (if we dont get many) then I will choose the winner from the finalists.

The winner gets this....Painted and ready to wear or display.

Guys...have fun with this. Make your entries funny, cool...agressive...it doesnt matter to me. Of course I'm personally looking for that 'WOW' Factor but the most important thing is noting the effort. If you're not that talented dont worry....I personally am looking for those who honestly gave this a shot...effort, not just something slapped together in the hopes that no one else entered.
Give it your best and it'll show in the end.

Have fun with it and wait for the pics.....Once they go up IT OFFICIALLY BEGINS!

If you have questions now is the time...

What's with this threadmark all the time?

 

[etrigan69]

A couple of suggestions. Shoot some clear pics. Try not to add any lighting . IE: Heavy shadows, too light, too dark. If you can shoot them in front of a green (or other color) sheet or screen, that helps big! Big pics help too. Host them @ imageshack so they stay big. If you can do multiple poses in one controlled environment it keeps the color and lighting even. If you can use multiple light sources when you shoot them so the detail wil be clear all around.

This makes it easier too alter and also to play with the lighting effects one can do.

That will give us the chance to do a better variety.

Oh yeah, HURRY I WANT TO GET STARTED!!!

 

[gdw]

WOW! I'm sorry, but I am just speachless.

You are just something else David, amazing.

 

[The Trainman]

Damn, don't have a scanner! I think I'll have to find another way... but who cares this will be worth it! Thanks David!

 

[The Spider-Bat]

Dammit! I want that so badly! But I'm only 12 and still haven't mastered Photoshop! DAMMIT!!!!
