GITP Halloween Monster Competition (Chat Thread)

[The Vorpal Tribble]

Welcome to the Halloween Moncomp chat thread where you can ask questions, comment or just in general discuss about your submission to Part 1 of the Halloween Monster Competition.

Well, I had a thought of having a contest for the various creators on these forums.

It would start October first and end on midnight at Halloween.

The theme would be 'Fell Beasts', with categories consisting of:

#1. Most Imaginative/Unique
#2. Most Frightening
#3. Best Overall

I'll be needing judges however, which won't be able to enter.

Who'd be interested in such a contest and whom might want to judge?

[The Demented One]

I don't know whether I want to judge or participate, but I would do something.

[Legoman]

Not creative enough to create, so I'll judge, barring excess school work. Finally taking 600 level classes this quarter, ick!

[ExHunterEmerald]

I'm interested, but I'm an absolute rookie.
What's a fell beast, aside from the Witch King's mount?

[The Vorpal Tribble]

Basically meaning very creepy creatures. Was thinking of going cthulhu-esque though, requiring a short plot hook or story for each.

[I_Got_This_Name]

I might enter.

[ExHunterEmerald]

Aaaaaaah...
Alright then, I'll give it a shot.
I'll probably need major help on my Craft(Horrifying monster to traumatise PCs with) check.
Anyone feel like giving me an Aid Another?

:P :-[

[flash=200,200][/flash]i have trouble making characters on paint in accesories. :'(

[drake]

i need help. :-/

[drake]

am i here alone...? :o

[The Demented One]

Um...wait, what? I really have no idea what you're trying to do.

[ExHunterEmerald]

Drake, you're probably fairly new to the message board, so lemme introduce ya.
It's generally good etiquette not to multi-post. There's a Modify button to let you edit old posts.
Also, since it's a message board, you're probably not going to get replies immediately. The place is fairly busy though, so sometimes they're fast.
And if I read your question right, you want help with the contest? Or making avatars, or paintiing miniatures? I'm not being sarcastic, I can't really tell. I'm fairly new to the scene as well, so I don't know if I could help.

Other than that, welcome to the board.

[SilveryCord]

I'd love to be a judge.

[Eighth_Seraph]

I'm getting better at creature-sculpting fairly quickly thanks to various horrifying experiences in the MitP project, so I'll give this a shot if it gets started. Question though: Myabe it would be appropriate to make a few helpful creatures to assist the poor dopes fighting the results of this contest at keeping their sanity?

Err... I don't quite understand the question.

[Eighth_Seraph]

Hmm. Let me rephrase that in a more straight-forward manner, then. Would it be appropriate to make some creatures that would serve to help anyone unlucky enough to have survive the utter madness that will be caused by the rest of these creatures? In other words, how about a few of us make some not-as-scary creatures to protect people from the abominations that so many people are going to be posting? Everytime the water breaks loose, there's always someone desperately trying to fix the dam.

[Maerok]

I'd definitely be interested in this. Could entries be PMed in early? I don't think I could wait until the 1st.

[Krimm_Blackleaf]

i shall take this challenge!

[Abd al-Azrad]

This seems right up my alley. May I join the panel of judges?

[Leon]

"runs for the hills" VT and Freeky things....

that aside i think i'd like to have a go - even if i fail horridly. or judge if its not full

[Thrune]

I might want to join.

Err... well, you could I guess.

You could PM them, sure, but I'd not be commenting or anything, so you might as well wait ;)

Glad to have you. That makes 2-3 judges plus me. Need a couple more. I'll message around.

[zad101]

I may be pretty new the forum but i know scary when i see it so i could judge if you like.

[Fax Celestis]

I'll enter.

[belboz]

I'm very interested.

But not in judging. Scary things are *way* too much up my alley for me to disqualify myself.

[The Vorpal Tribble]

I may be pretty new the forum but i know scary when i see it so i could judge if you like.

If at all possible I'll be choosing judges that I at least know somewhat and have been around a little longer.

Thanks anyways ;)

[zad101]

alright then i think i'll compete cause this contest seems too good to miss

[The Vorpal Tribble]

Good deal. Who else wants to try their hand?

[wippit]

Your souls will be mine.
As will your still beating hearts!


You can keep your shoes. They smell.
