I had another idea, maybe not a monthly challenge per se, but a customizer's event: There are 156 episodes of Buffy (+ 10 of Season Eight in comic book format) so there are 166 options alltogether for customizing. I propose we start a new thread and every take one episode and create a character from it (one episode per customizer). It can be anything from that episode but it has to be episode specific. I think this is a great way to see what everyone comes up with (not to mention giving the newbie a chance to join in on the action without the pressure of a contest ). Whatdya think?

I think the season 8 custom figure challenge would be cool.

After seeing Jess's Illyria Wesley, Willowswarlock's Angelus-siring-Spike, and Aly's Wish Vampire Buffy, what about expanding on that and doing a big "What If?" theme day.
And it wou;dn't have to be character's directly changed by the "What If?" moment, but also the consequences of the alternative reality it's created.
Just a thought...

That's a pretty cool idea as well. I was just thinking of one today

Actually there are 144 episodes of Buffy since Season One was only twelve episodes. But anyway, a "What If?" could work well.

I know it hasn't been out long, but why is Angel: After the Fall not included in the next challenge? It's got a similar premise to BtVS S8 and I'm sure they're some folks who would love to do a custom from that (like pimp Lord of LA Spike).
(I will forever champion equality between Buffy and Angel)

When Angel has been running for longer, it will get it's own challenge. BtVS Season 8 has been running for nearly a year.

Just wanted to make sure. I was worried that you wouldn't want to do two comic-based challenges and that Angel would get left out.

Due to lack of response in some of the recent challenges, I'm making them quarterly, rather than monthly.
OK, we've got 3 months for this next challenge, March-May.
Spring 2008 Challenge - BtVS/Angel Idol
Make a custom of a character from BtVS or Angel singing or playing an instrument. There are quite a lot of these, when you think about it.
For example, for BtVS, it could be Oz, Verucca, Devon, Giles, Jonathan, Xander, Cordy, Willow, a real band in The Bronze, and any performance from "OMWF" or "Selfless".
For Angel, it could be Lorne, Angel, Darla, Lindsey, Harmony, Fred, Connor or any performance at Caritas.

I think this is a great way to do things now! Not only does it give people more time to enter, it also allows for time to do more complex pieces.

Great idea! I'll be making a few pieces for sure.

I think it will be cool to see more customs of different tv series just like NaturallyBuffBuff said.

Summer 2008 Challenge - Army of Slayers
The challenge for June-August 2008 will be to create a custom of a Vampire Slayer. This can be:
- Faith - Kendra - Kennedy - A potential from BtVS Season 7 - Daena from Angel Season 5 - A slayer from BtVS Season 8
If you make Buffy as a double custom with one of the other slayers, then it can be from any scene.
If you make Buffy on her own for this challenge, she has to be in "Slayer" mode, rather than "relationship" mode. She doesn't have to be fighting but she has to be patrolling, or strategising, or talking about her calling... she can't just be hanging out with her friends, or on a date.

Autumn 2008 Challenge - Damaged, Dead or Undead
This challenge is an amalgamation of several suggestions:
1) Any character who is ill, wounded or battle-damaged. 2) A character at their death. Or just after. If they've been revived, or appear as a ghost or vision. 3) Any vampire... preferably in vamp face, but if not, at least doing something vamp-y. 4) Any other undead creature. I presume the definition of this is someone who used to be human but got morphed into a zombie, or something else. I'd say Anyanka and Halfrek count in this category. Same here... preferably in demon face, or doing something vengeful. 5) The character can be from Seasons 1-8 of BtVS or 1-6 of Angel.

I think a good future challenge would be "Good-Gone-Bad" A good character who has been possessed, charmed, or cursed by an evil entity. Such as: Dark Witch Willow. Does this sound good enough to get placed in a challenge, Sasha?
