Secret Custom Trade Event 1 [EVENT COMPLETED!]

Posted in Custom Workstation

[UPDATE: Thanks to everyone who participated! Everyone walked away with a cool custom and the rainbow friendship sparkles are everywhere, stay tuned for another one coming soon.]

============


Anyone interested in a secret custom trade event?

=The Jist Of It=
This is a community event where you make a custom for someone and get a custom in return.

All participants make a list of customs they would like to receive, and then email the list to me along with their shipping address. [The email is fr-customevent@outlook.com]

I then randomly distribute those lists among the participants. Everyone then picks one character to make (or as many as they want, if they're feeling generous).

On the deadline, I give everyone the addresses they should ship to, and everyone does a happy jig! Once that starts, feel free to post pictures here of what you got so we all be so jelly lol.


=List Guidelines=
You can list as many characters as you want, but list at least 5. It helps to pick varied characters so whoever receives your list has a wider selection (and level of difficulty) to choose from.

Be sure to say what version/outfit you prefer, as well as scale and figure style (DCUC, Marvel Legends, NECA, etc.). There's no guarantee you'll get the custom with those parameters, but it may motivate the person to try something new.

I think it's understood everyone expects to receive an articulated action figure, but feel free to make notes in your lists if you don't mind less articulation.


=Basic Requirements For Participating=
•You must be competent at painting and mashing figures together. Like TMB once said, don't make it look like you're "spitting paint through a straw."

•You must have a respectable amount of work submitted to the Showcase. If you only have a handful of pieces here, but they're good enough to show you can make more complicated customs, then you can still join. If you normally post your work elsewhere and want to participate, that's cool, just post a link to your work and a way to prove it's yours.

•You must send me WIP pictures periodically so I know you're actually working on the custom. I won't start bugging you for pictures until the event is halfway to the finish line.

•You must be able to ship things domestically and internationally. Remember, you'll be paying to ship the custom to its new owner.

•No drama, plox. While shiz does happen, I'm not going to accept everyone's cat conveniently getting run over as an excuse for flaking lol.

•Put as much work into the custom as possible. Treat it like you're making something awesome to put on your own mantlepiece. When we all do the best we all get the best gifts! The true gift of this contest is friendship and rainbow sparkles, but I also want a custom Rom the Spaceknight, so let's do this thang!

Chime in if you're interested!

Oh yeah, what do you all want to name this event?
