CJJ's Spring Custom Contest (More Info to Come)

***First of Two Latin Kings*** · 04-06-2010, 03:21 PM

Title says it all (well, not really).
FOUR entries are allowed---if I can come up with twelve prizes, there will be a first, second, and third place for each category. AndrewDSZ has been gracious enough to provide several prizes, as has Raphsation!!! If anyone else would like to donate prizes, it is still not too late!!! I will compensate for however many we need in addition to however many prizes are donated.

Categories:
Best Over-All
Most Interesting/Humorous/Thought-Provoking, etc.
Most Accurate Rendition of a Character
Best Result with Least Amount of Effort (I had thought of this, and forgotten it, and then Ecto's Robo-Leo made me remember I'd created this fourth category!!!

)

Any entry can win in more than one category and in as many as all four, the best case scenario for any participant being that they win first place in ALL four categories AND have more votes for their entry/entries in each category, which would POSSIBLY allow him/her first dibs on four of twelve prizes. Winning first place in any category doesn't guarantee first dibs on a prize--but it increases your chances of having first dibs on said prize greatly.
You MAY enter customs that were already works in progress when I posted that we were having this contest.

You MAY post as many pictures of your entries as you would like in this thread, but you must choose only ONE picture of each entry to send me for the voting threads.

I am not putting a size limit on entry pictures, but let’s PLEASE be reasonable-- the pictures of your entries should be viewable without having to do an excessive amount of scrolling.

You may submit group entries.

You MAY submit fan-made characters.

You may only submit four entries, in any combination you wish. If you would like to submit all four entries in one category, that's fine...but you can't enter any of them in any other categories if you choose to go that route.

All entries must be sent via PM to me.

New deadline: Sunday, May 6th at 11:59 PM.

If you guys have any questions, please send them to me via PM.

I might enter.

*Ninjinister* · 04-06-2010, 06:43 PM

I've got something I've been tooling with, but considering how long it's taken me to get as far as I have, I don't know if three weeks is going to cut it.

If push comes to shove, I'll just whip up something last minute.

***First of Two Latin Kings*** · 04-06-2010, 10:45 PM

Well, I clocked about six hours today working on two of my entries.

Topsu · 04-07-2010, 12:34 AM

Mmm, just finished my customs, I'm starting a new one, but I'm not too sure if I can finish it in time...we'll see.

***First of Two Latin Kings*** · 04-07-2010, 12:36 AM

I haven't set a deadline yet...read original post carefully.

*Wes* · 04-07-2010, 01:22 AM

Incentive to finish my Shredder figure? Could be!

***First of Two Latin Kings*** · 04-07-2010, 09:17 AM

I actually thought about that when I created this contest, Wes.

Mine are probably going to take longer than I thought. Figures I'd get offered work as soon I get into the middle of a project I really care about...

ToSte · 04-07-2010, 04:48 PM

Awesome, it's been a while since we've had one of these. I dig the categories you've got going there, CJJ, looking forward to seeing some "thought provoking" turtle action.

Wow wut'z goin on here?

DONT LEAVE brother!You still got cool ppls around u.

And i agree w u that there's a hierarchy goin on on this board,I'm not even gonna talk about this right now because the general community is great.

For my understanding frds should back each other up else why the heck you need a frd for?

Alright im giving out some prizes here:

Set of two semi-minis from 2K3 and complete set of toddler turtles, each of the two set can be treated as one prizes so we got two prizes now. O well i know these two prizes are really small so i may change it into something else later... ..let me see wut i can find from my basement... ...

I know this is not much but i dont have much that im willing to part with or the stuff im willing to part with are just sold on ebay right now.

Thanks.

*shuriken* · 04-08-2010, 09:55 AM

i can dig those prizes. Anyway, I was actually working on some customs myself so this will give me the much needed incentive to actually finish the bastards. How many entries are possible? cuz I wanna do like 3. I know mine won't win cuz I've seen some pretty bitchin customs but still. This will be a good opportunity to see some cool customs from fellow dromers.

***First of Two Latin Kings*** · 04-08-2010, 10:21 AM

See first post.

*Powder* · 04-08-2010, 01:21 PM

My submissions are gonna suck but I look forward to making them.

HalfcourtGame · 04-08-2010, 02:19 PM

Hey guys I'm not entering cuz my left brains fails me more often than not, but it's an awesome idea so I'm willing to donate a prize:

Let me know if it works!

TheMasterTurtle · 04-08-2010, 02:30 PM

I'd love to enter but Im juggling too many customs already

... Good Luck anyone! These kinds of things always pull out the best in everyone. I'd like to see these more often!

You do realize you can enter a work in progress, right?

Do most of you feel that May 1st is an unreasonable deadline? Let me know.

Also, could I get a moderator to sticky this?

Nice prize, Raphsation! If one of my entries wins I might have to claim that...

I dont feel its unreasonable but dont base it off me. I have a number of projects in the works and until they're done I just cant start any more. I just like completing my queue before adding to it
