Official 3rd SSF Challenge Concept Ideas Thread

BUMP! 30 DAYS AND COUNTING!!

GET TO BUILDING THOSE FIGURES... WE DON'T WANT THE CHALLENGE ON OUR DOORSTEP AND HERE WE ARE.... OUR PANTS AT OUR ANKLES!!​

It's getting closer guys. So make sure you are ready to go come reveal time! I know I need to crank up production on my figure as well... my commission work has been keeping me from it. But it will be ready...

And Menlojames, if you are in... all you do is say you're in, work on the figure and when it is the reveal date... there will be a thread specifically for posting your pics. Easy as pie.

And it's not a contest, just a bit of fun customization... for our own amusement.

 

[Les Walker]

YES!

Despite my own problems of late, familial as well as workload, I do have some contributions to make to this challenge, so NO EXCUSES!!! NONE!
I refuse to hear any!

I have managed to get SOMETHING DONE, in a sea of frustrations, limited time, workload and just plain hell, so GET A FIGURE MADE!
This is a great thing here, for us all to do, so get crackin'! You guys all rock, and you all, and you know who you are, CAN make one. ONE. At least. So, come on!

JULY 2oth! IMAGE AND RESPONSE THREADS WILL BE POSTED!
Have something ready! ANYTHING!

And, enjoy! Let's go gang! Let's make this the greatest challenge turnout ever!

 

[Customikey]

That's not a problem Mikey. With your profession, it's expected that their will be delays. We will be excited to see what it is when the time comes... but most of all.. Good luck with the new gig, man.

 

[Customikey]

Thanks Josh. I'm really excited about it! Cameloooottttt!!!!!

Oh, I hope i get a suit of armor for my entrance!

Might as well drop me from the list this time around, like last time, school is kicking my ass, and I've not had a whole lot of spare time to get into making anything

 

[Les Walker]

Mike, you can post, post 20th bro. You go! Rock on bro! Camelot! Good for you man. Look, your custom will be worth the wait anyway. I can't get your Medusa out of my head yet. it was perhaps, THE custom of that challenge. Therefore, your contribution to this challenge is a standard we cannot afford to miss! Just make one and post bro.

Lerath, hope you can though buddy. I am holding out hope for you. You may get time. At least comment. Post. We'll be looking for you.

Have to agree with Les there, that Medusa was one of the BEST custom figures I have ever seen. Insane custom that is permanently cemented in my mind as a true Mikey original. So anything you do for this challenge is well worth the wait.

 

[Les Walker]

Anyone else gonna try? Let's hear from you...

 

[Buttmunch]

I'm still trying. Biggest problem is just a lack of extra cash for parts. I know where to get everything though.

 

[Les Walker]

C'mon gang! Don't think we are letting this challenge slip away!
Get crackin' on a figure! Let's see SOME turnout on the 20th!

 

[Kabukiman]

My lack of sewing skills is killing me

 

[DarkArtist81]

I finally scored most of the parts for my figure. At least the first one. The second will be pretty simple.. no need for a ton of parts.

 

[Les Walker]

Keeping it goin!
Three weeks from tomorrow!

 

[DarkArtist81]

Les has the right idea, let's keep this alive! Anyone have any questions?

Tomorrow we will do something to liven this up a bit and give some fuel to this fire. We need the challenge to be something that is a SSF tradition, not only for the "custom old timers" of the board but for the up and comers.. the new guys... Hell... even the guys who have never picked up a brush before.

This is something to inspire... to aid in the creation of art and most of all... To create possible future customizers. No one will judge your work, or say it looks horrible. No idea is lame or not cool enough. Anything works, any attempt is great.

C'mon guys... show your Freaks colors... Let us see what horrors or pleasures lay dormant in your mind. Let loose your creative fury and show us something.

Like a teaser? I could post a teaser or two of some of the stuff I am working on. Not finished yet, but definately teaser worthy.

[Buttmunch]

First tease is actually the figure I am least likely to complete before the Deadline.
