Halloween Challenge - October 2013
Customisers are invited to participate in the Halloween Challenge this year. This is a cross-genre challenge - a single challenge thread for both Joss and Non-Joss properties. Just anything Halloween themed, spooky, or macabre. Make some macabre customs over the next few months but don't show them yet on the forum. In September, one of the Moderators will start collecting them from you. I'll announce which moderator later on.That moderator will then reveal the customs in a Halloween Challenge during the whole month of October. Kind of like an advent calendar, where a new custom is revealed every day (or every 2-3 days, depending on how many we have in total). The moderator will co-ordinate the revelations with the participating customisers. Customs of the Month Contest - October 2013There will also be Joss and Non-Joss Customs of the Month contests as normal for October work. The contests will be held in early November for any custom you wish to put forward - spooky or otherwise. As usual, there will be a poll for everyone to vote. PrizesSharon (msperoxideluv) has kindly offered two prizes for Halloween. Each prize will include a selection of figures, parts, accessories, Halloween items, etc, valued at around $25. 1) The winner of the Jossverse COTM for October (voted by the poll, as usual) will receive a prize. 2) There is no poll or contest for the Halloween Challenge (as usual), but Sharon's personal favourite will also receive a prize.

Bring on the creative customs, guys! I am hoping for some really unique, inspired Halloween customs.. both Buffy and beyond... Thinking of "what if" Buffy scenarios too.. not just what we saw on the TV screen for Buffy Halloweens... Can't wait to start seeing what you come up with!

I'm looking forward to this. Sarah (smiler) is going to do most of the moderating for this. I'll cover her while she's away for a week.
I've made 4 items so far, and I'm still on a roll. Wouldn't it be great it we could get 31 between us in total so that we can reveal one each day, like a proper advent calendar?

Ms. Big has 4 already! Spooktacular! Well I never thought I'd say it.. I can't wait for fall/October! Don't get me wrong, I love the fall.. but summer is so short in the Northeast NY... Anyway, I can't wait to see what you guys come up with! Halloween has sooo much potential (oh please, don't do potentials.. LOL). Well.. maybe Vi! Just kidding, go crazy! I am having fun putting together the prizes too...  Maybe we can make this an annual thing to keep the forum lively! |

When is the cutoff date for submissions?

There is no cut-off date. You can continue making them into October, but must not post them directly. You must liaise with the moderator. I'll announce some more info at the weekend.
I'd prefer people not to post in-progress photos. We'd like to be able to properly reveal each one as a surprise every day (or every 2-3 days) in October. Like an advent calendar.

OK, guys! smiler and I need to assess how to do the reveal of these customs in October. How many we have and how often to reveal them.
Instructions
1) Participants, would you please post here the number of customs you have made for the Halloween Challenge, that you will have finished by end of September. This has to be the number that can be shown on a different day from one another. So, a tableau of many figures still only counts as 1 custom.
2) Also state whether you might be making more during October.
3) When each custom is complete, please send a separate email to smiler for each custom with photos and a description.
Example...
MsBig Entry
1) I've made 6 Halloween customs.
2) I might make more, but I'm not sure.
3) smiler, I'll you send my entries later today.

Wow, what a great way to start off the month! This is really creepy and so well executed. Amazing detail on the sculpture of musculature/tendons/hair.
I don't know the show well.. but he is obviously a very big bad! Great work Sasha!
