Halloween Challenge - October 2017

You 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.

*********Note: This challenge is open to anyone, even people who don't usually customise figures. You can enter any kind of craft that you have made for Halloween. Please include info on how you made it.********

Send the customs to MsBig. I 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 3-4 days, depending on how many we have in total. There will be some prizes for this challenge, sponsored by msperoxideluv and me.

********You can continue submitting entries until the end of October!********

October 2nd - Wilhelmina Stein Doll

Okay let me quickly explain who this doll is any why she is important to me. So collect monster studded animals. When I was younger I would play the claw machines at the store. I was lucky enough to win this beautiful knock off corpse bride doll. I fell in love with her instantly. But since she was a knock off I had to create my own back story for her and such. Needless to say she is the prize of my monster collection. I always wanted to take this stuffed animal and make a doll of her. So that is what this doll it. She is made from a Elsa doll from Frozen. I re-threaded her hair, to be black. I made the dress, from a star wars dress. I add the beading and the netting, also added the veil and the flowers. I took a exact-o knife and carved a scar in her cheek, then used soft pastels to shade it and give it bruising. I then took some black string and glued it on for the stitching. The actually string gives it texture. My favorite part though, is I added some artificial eye lashes to her eyes. This made me feel like I was making a vintage Barbie. Lol. But anyway that is the story about Wilhelmina. Hope you love her, as much as I do!





Here is a photo of her with the original stuffed animal.

She's wildly creative and creepy pretty! The hair/dress must have been a lot of work. Kudos. Love the backstory too... Can I call her Willie I think this is going to be an amazing October challenge!

October 3rd - Jake Skellington (Jack's less ambitious brother)

Okay, so this is another weird one. So after I won my Wilhelmina stuffed animal in the claw machine, I had to win her a husband. I worked on winning one for the whole month of October, and I had no luck, but on Halloween night, there was an extra magic in the air, and I won "Jake." I called him Jake, cause much like Wilhelmina he was a knock off. I made up the story that he was Jack Skellington's younger brother, who wasn't the pumpkin king, but more of a slacker, maybe the squash king? Or the zucchini Duke? IDK. Anyway, when I made the Wilhelmina doll, I had to make her new husband also. So here he is! The doll it's self is just made out of a skeleton decoration. I hollowed out his eyes and painted the inside black. I also contoured and shaded his face. But the real work came when I completely designed his Halloween Hawaiian shirt. I created my own pattern and sewed it by hand! Hope you like him!

[msperoxideluv]

Jake will make a great match for Willie! Nice job on the shirt!

October 4th - "Panic! At the Disco" Emperor's New Clothes Brendon

So I love Panic! Emperor's new clothes is one of my fav videos. I just had to make a figure of it. I had to embellish it a little. In the real video, he doesn't have his wings when he's kneeling, but I wanted to add them, cause it looked better. I used a "Vamp Spike" head, "Spike" torso and upper leg, "Shirtless Angel" lower legs, I used "X-files Alien" Arms, and "Demon Angel" hands. I could have used shirtless Spike for the torso. But I sadly didn't have one. So I took a normal Spike and carved the shirtlessness, also sculpted the muscles. I added some horns on his head and shoulders. I then made the wings out of wire, material, and sooooooo many black feathers (That was a mess, BTW) The stands was made from cardboard, a random plastic shield, rocks, glue, dirt, paper, and a little plastic skeleton.

Hope you like him!
