This entry is from Customizer452:October 27th - "Penny Dreadful" Lily Frankenstein (Season 2)I am a huge fan of Billie Piper's take on this character and the role. I loved the moment when she wore this dress, and so I had to make it for this challenge! I made her from a random Barbie. I sowed the dress mostly from scraps of old shirts, then took some red paint and added the blood. I used hair spray to keep her hair in place, and then cut it. As for her face, I used some loss pastels to contour her face, to give her that predominate upper lip like Billie has. Here are some photos! Hope you like her!

This entry is from Customizer452:October 28th - "Supernatural" Demon DeanI wanted to do another Dean, but I was kind of tired of just doing plan old Dean. So I did Demon Dean. I kind of mixed some of the images. I based it off the scene with the hammer and the red shirt. But I wanted to add the part when he had the bruised face. So I put them together. This isn’t episode specific, but yolo. Anyway I made him from a Kato figure. The hammer is the hammer that comes with Xander. (I think) So here he is. Hope you like him!

Wow, what an incredible thread, full of such creative and exciting customs. I love so many of them it's hard to choose a favourite. They are all so creepy! I will have to wait until the final day and then choose - it's going to be hard because you guys have really got your horror juices on full throttle. Great work from everyone - well done!

This entry is from me:October 29th - "Reptile Boy" MachidaBuffy the Vampire Slayer• 2.5 "Reptile Boy" • The Zeta Kappa frat boys worship a snake demon who brings them good fortune in exchange for a yearly sacrifice - "Come forth, and let your terrible countenance look upon your servants, and their humble offering. We call you, Machida."Recipe - Thanks for the Parts!• Random demon head and the Crow torso and arms (DST) • iPhone wire stand and rubber snake • Circular plastic Sculpt - Halloween Special, October 2016• Glued the snake tail over the wire stand • Sculpted the underside of tail and snake body • Sculpted Machida's head, torso, and arms • Sculpted cave floor stand over plastic I made Machida for the buyer who won my Reptile-Boy-Kibble Buffy and Cordy from a few months back. I designed the stand to slot next to their stand. Machida is loose, so that the buyer can find the best angle for him, maybe half onto their stand. The buyer has promised to send a good photo when they are assembled.

Happy Birthday, Roadie! Sorry I missed it. Mine was the 19th~! Rocktober Babies Rock! Great cake! Just like you... so creative and well done~
Sorry, it was a really rough day-23rd for me(my dog was quite ill, but improving thank goodness) and then the night when the Walking Dead aired here. Don't want to spoil anyone who has not watched it... Although 17 million people did I believe... It was the most brutal episode, I think I have ever seen on Walking Dead. And there have been many devastatingly brutal episodes prior to. Not sure if I can watch it anymore. I know that Joss liked to break hearts on his shows. And he did... But,I think this was even worse.
Anyway, sorry about the short deadline Sash. So, if someone posts a custom of my TWD fave character as a tribute, I will send them something Walking Dead related or Buffy if they prefer. And will extend the deadline for this until November 30.

Wow, I just caught up with the thread. Still mourning TWD. Weeping, sobbing, still. Came home yesterday to an Entertainment Weekly cover that brought me to tears again... It is a tribute to the actor and the writers who make you love a TV character so much Joss Whedon started it for me! Kudos to all those great writers, actors and directors that can move you in such a way. I think I am going to find a good comedy LOL... Any suggestions?
Sash, are you kidding me? That Machida is unbelievable. The sculpt is incredible. What can I say.. I wish it was mine LOL!
And Customizer 452, again you are always prolific in your work during October. Big love for your Deans!
Thanks to all for your efforts! It really does seem to invigorate the forum! And in turn, reminds me why I came here in the first place. Huge thanks to all who continue to keep this art form going here at the forum.

This entry is from Customizer452:October 30th - Buffy’s Shadow Caster in a JarFor this project, I used a mason jar, I took some Elmer's glue and added food coloring. Then I painted a layer of the orange glue onto the Mason jar. When it dried it gave the glass a ocean glass look. Then I added some silhouettes cut outs from Buffy’s shadow caster. Then I added a flameless candle. Hope you like it!

Sash, you have been on FIRE! Pun intended! Seriously, your work has been the reason I joined this forum. And to see you so reignited (also a pun), but means so much to me. Really true! You still ROCK! You Custom Queen or really Goddess? Creativity and artistry has always been the hallmark of this forum. It is still alive after all these years! Cheers to you all!

This entry is from Customizer452:October 31st - "Supernatural" John Winchester (Yellow Eyed Demon) and Passed out DeanI made the John out of a "Superman Vs Batman" Superman head and a demon Angel body. I painted his eyes yellow and went over it with a bit of gold to make it shimmer. For Dean I used a Kato figure. I hope you like them. P.S. I was originally making Jeffery Dean Morgan as Negan, but after last week I couldn’t bring myself to make him. Too much feels, LOL.

Ha! Thanks, Shaz! But the fiery puns are making me wonder if you're giving me credit for Jay's rather excellent shadow caster candle. I wish it was mine... but it's his. ;o)

That's it for the Halloween advent calendar and competition of 2016! My choice for favourite is Customizer452's Penny Dreadful set. Jay, please PM me to let me know what you would prefer, either a box of parts to use for customising or an item from my For Sale page: www.sashacustoms.co.uk/home/store/for-saleAny item that has a sticker, except for the items that I submitted for this Halloween 2016 (which also have a sticker). And not the two I have ear-marked for eBay auctions. Everyone else, if you have some cool photos from yesterday's Halloween (costumes or decorations), feel free to now post them in this thread yourself, as a send off!

Well the Halloween Challenge is over. Thank you to everyone for their creative and amazing customs. So, I have to pick faves... as always very tough. As you all know, I am a big Buffy fan- so my favorite overall custom was Sasha's Machida! I can't believe she hadn't done one in all these years. And it was so well sculpted. Ms. Big's whole body of work for this challenge has been amazing. So, Sash let's talk about your prize!~
And Jay- aka Customizer 452- you know a way to this girl's heart. All your customs were wonderful. But, of course the SPN Dean's are winners. I can't believe it, but my fave of yours is Dean in Hell. The backdrop you came up with really makes it a complete scene. So, send me your info again please... And we will figure out a good prize for you. Plus extra thanks for not making Negan.
Also, as I said in another post. If folks would like to to a Non-Jossverse Tribute to those lost on The Walking Dead for the Month of November, I will pick a favorite after Nov. 30. Sash, is that OK to post here? Or should it be on Non-Joss? Your call. But, would love to see what folks are feeling about the 7 Seasons of TWD and all who we have lost. I am somewhat biased to who I really will miss on TWD. However, that being said, I will award the best custom that represents the show. And likely, also to whoever does a tribute to my favorite character on TWD. So, November TWD Challenge anyone? Thanks again to all who worked so hard on the October Challenge! KUDOS!

Hey Shaz! I've made you a moderator in the Challenge section, so you should have access now.
Back in the day, when Chaz was admin on this forum, he dubbed me Custom Queen, which made my day! Now Lior and I sometimes knight people who stand out on the forum. Both you and JayRex deserve a proper title, so I've given you Challenge Patron and Challenge Champion respectively! If you don't like it and would prefer something a bit different, PM me and I'll change it.
