Title: Christmas Challenge 2016: Merry Christmas To All...
Post by: daglob on November 28, 2016, 10:07:27 PM
It's time for the 2016 Christmas Challenge: create some kind of Christmas-themed content, be it a skin, scope, special effect, mini-mod, even just a picture. Dress your avatar or your favorite comic book character in red and green with silver or gold trim (Or maybe someone else's avatar). We can include sleighs, snow, winter, and chestnuts as Christmas-y subjects. Put Christmas lights and tinsel on Groot. Toss in some leftover turkey.

Rules are few:

Deadline is December 25th (but if it is a little late, that's okay)

Post a pic here so we can see it.

Have fun.

I've done a Christmas Colossus before, but it was a kitbash of a C6 skin (with permission) that appears when Sandy Claws uses the Fastball Special.

All three cards are apparently the same "piece" and map to the  same place. If they were they were separate pieces, I could change the mapping so they could be separate pictures. I considered a hook, but that is probably beyond my capabilities. Maybe next year...

I dunno why the people at Marvel think that the Inhumans and The X-Men should fight. And if you think I'm going to use Christmas as an excuse to do Medusa in that green outfit she wore in Spider-Man #62... you may be right.

I wanted to get at least one Character into the Challenge, since I came up empty on the Thanksgiving Challenge. This wasn't the one that I had originally wanted to enter though, but since I cant find the Skope that I had started last year, I don't know if I'll get that particular one entered or not.

I love Black Bolt and the Ghost of Christmas Flash.

I can't help but wonder now, what would the Flash look like if the only change from his original costume was making the gold bits a shiny green?

On a side note, that Black Bolt suit reminds me of Wonder Man.

My first version was like that, and while it didn't look too bad, it just was too simple and was finished when I had barely started.

I had to re-do it real quick since I didn't keep it. But now it's kept.  :D

While I never Skinned the original Skope, it had a Candy Cane Launcher instead of a Gun, and a giant Candy Cane in place of the Axe. I just could never get the textures to work right, so I had to let it go.
