Official 3rd SSF Challenge Concept Ideas Thread

[Les Walker]

Dude, at this point, I say, GO FOR IT!
I am maybe making three figures for this, as I have more characters in my Batman 1939 set to make anyway, so I say go for it! Figure or figures, bases, dioramas, the works! Blow us away! Blow minds! Have fun!
:chew


Just keep it a secret til July 20th.

Im going to do 2 one a completely new take on a character. An other on a character we got from SSC with a new outfit which he appeared in, does this sort of thing count?

I'm not buying my stuff till June so I'm not tempted to post early.

 

[DarkArtist81]

I'm in FOR SURE! I love the Batman theme, as I am in that groove already with the Two Face and Joker figures. I have an entire set of ideas ready to go, and that would give me ample time to work it into my schedule.

 

[lerath666]

got a few ideas on the table that MIGHT fit this.. got one original character too.... I'm in... at the moment. might change later, but for now, I'm part of the show now to track down the nessacary parts.....

OK, here is something else we can add. If you are going to SDCC and are planning on bringing one or more of your figures to show off at the Freaks party (and for a group photo), say so and we'll put them all in green font.

 

[Darth Sheba]

Okay, is it supposed to be an original interpretation of a Batman character, or of any existing character from any fictional universe?

ANYTHING. Batman is just what's floating Les and Josh's boats particularly. I'm considering literary figures.

 

[Darth Sheba]

Ah, okay.

Sorry, I'm feeling really dense at the moment.

Just so I am clear, any character that hasn’t already been made into a figure is fair game? So, it can be a completely original character we make up ourselves, or it can be a character from a show that’s never been officially made, like a Marion Ravenwood?

The figure does not have to have been made before. It can have been, but doesn't need to.

It has to be an EXISTING character, so you can't be going and making up Captain Toilet or something.

But the catch is is has to be your take on the character. So if you wanted to make Marion Ravenwood a Redhead, that would work. Or if you made a new outfit for her that wasn't in the film. Just one little tweak is all you need.

I personally have been inspired by many different artists' forms of Batman's characters (come on, anyone that has paid any attention to this thread know's I'm going to be doing Batman stuff). But you can't just simply make a Tim Sale Joker, but a Tim Sale Joker mixed with a little Alex Ross would be OK.

 

[ProgMatinee]

So, it can be a completely original character we make up ourselves?

I agree with others, it needs to be a character already existing. If someone makes their own version of Captain America, I have a frame of reference and can compare the special changes you made to it to make it your own, but as stated below, we wouldn't have much to reference Captain Toilet to.

 

[binky]

Thanks for the explanation. And good point, OCs wouldn't make much sense to anyone but me. Now I know what I should try to brainstorm on.

 

[Customikey]

This is not my submission, this is just by way of a "For Example..."

Here's a figure that would fit into this challenge. It's meant to be Darth Plagueis. It's my take on an established character.

 

[Buttmunch]

Mikey, that is a great example to help those confused.

 

[Les Walker]

That there is a great example of any kind!

Great figure and concept Mikey! And excellent point, this can be any figure of any character, shown, known, or spoken of, but we have to have heard of them before, if not actually seen them yet. So, that means, get to it! The sky's the limit!

 

[Kabukiman]

Finally came up with an idea that has me excited. :maul

I have a feeling, I'm not the only one that will do this particular figure though...

 

[galactiboy]

Ah, so its not just a character thats not been produced. It has to be your vision of a character... I'd forgotten about that part hmmm, the figure I was working on was just a straight translation.

But the plus side is I can share it earlier now since I don't have to wait until July Although I really should have kept my recent figures back... I hope I haven't already blown my creative load

 

[drunk_leprechaun]

I don't think I'll have the time to complete a figure for this challenge. Have examinations all the way to mid June. . So could the person taking names pull me off the list?
