Well with Septembers contest winding down it's time to get ready for October. This theme HAS to have blood. No getting around it. One thing though, no photo manipulation so this one has to be done all natural. No photo shop. Fake blood should be showing up soon in stores so it is a perfect time to prep up.

Zombies are fair game too. It is Halloween season so of course they can be used. There has to be blood though. The more gore the better of course. It is the October banner after all. :D I'm thinking a zombie entry will get favored in the voting actually.

When submitting your entry also put a picture of the set up to show it has nothing added after shooting. This is a contest to get back to basics and see what we all have. If there is not a photo showing the set up the entry will not count. Try to resize the set up pictures smaller and upload them to the server so the pages don't take forever to scroll and it focus' more on the entry.

Winner will get a 30th anniversary Hazard Viper​

This is any theme you want as long as it goes by the guidelines. Get the creative juices flowing and get to work! Any questions or concerns post up for discussion.

Well nobody is obligated to the figure. It's just a bonus. Hell, Rick turned down a Low Light if I remember correctly. If there are other 30th figures I'll even try to cater to the winner if they are at my wal mart if the HV doesn't work.

So was Bee not helping us a joke or...? I can't resize my own stuff to the specifications. I think I might be able to whip up something for this one.

The resize we can do Snake. Just make sure you make the picture larger so we can get the image how you are thinking of it for the banner. The no extras is just no adding anything through photo shop. Just remember, take a shot of the setup too and the final shot.

HEAR YE, HEAR YE!!

Listen up folks, many of you know I love blood, gore and the ultra violence. So here's the dealio. I'm gonna sweeten the pot of the Octobers winner's loot IF they can make that sumbitch look awesome. Impress me something rotten and you can win one of the 3 choices:

Box O Germans
Box O Joes
Box O Star Wars

This way, anyone will be enticed to enter and try to win. Sure Zombies are cool and wicked nasty, but sometimes, there are other dead and splattered to be had.

so get out there and KILL,KILL,KILL!!!!!!

oh, and you still have to follow the above rules in everyway. :D

Good to hear. Just make sure to have the set up shot to show the staging area.

Once we have the winners address that's when Ewok shows up at your door with a gimp suit and a sedated cat.

If you go to the old vote threads you should be able to see who won Keenan. I'll try to dig them up when I have some time.

MB, see if you can round up all the entries since we switched to the new forum (March/April) and see if you can create a closed-thread that archives them all.

I don't see why people couldn't re-enter their banners if they didn't win for a particular month.

When I get to work I'll start that. I see that PCS deleted May's images. Maybe he knows what ones they were. If not, I'll go through the entry thread.

Zombie vipers aren't coming out this soon. Gonna' have to get creative. Doesn't have to have zombies but I bet that gets more votes if done right. I can guarantee my entry will be bloody. I have 3 unopened bottles. :D

Put as many as you want in. Just remember, if you have multiples that make it in it can take away votes from another entry. If we have too many entries before the vote we will vote in the top 10 like we have in the past.

Shoot away! Better be messy though. ;)

Has to be 1:18 scale. You can enter any photo's of course. It's just, will it make the cut? The theme is blood or zombies/blood. It's not going to be a kid friendly banner for the most part.

I wouldn't put speech bubbles. It will take away from the image. The banner is an image of a scene pretty much. It's not really something that dialogue would work with very well. You could try it but I don't think it will fit in very well.

Was at Wal mart and Big Lots and noticed they both had Halloween stuff out which means fake blood. Got a few extra bottles just in case of emergency.

Nice cobraowner. Is there a wider shot of that pic? Some stuff may get cut out when it gets resized.
