Halloween Contest Winners

First off thanks everyone who entered the contest. We weren't able to hit the 40 entries I was hoping for, so I guess Nick gets off the hook and I won't show his picture. I am pleased with the turn out. It was a last minute for the contest and we had some great entries.

We'll start by going with the honorable mentions. I had a few more, but it wasn't clear if I had permission to use them on the blog, so I chose not to show them just in case. The are listed by (JTV Name - Costume Name)










giant_chibi - Boxman

I love the expression on the box.





















dutchmeat - Rorschach

Brad's a huge watchmen fan, he'll love this.





















Ecivon - HollowHieu

That must have took some time. Nice Job.









Now here are the two entries I liked, but couldn't pick as winners because they are technically "staff." I don't think that'd be very fair.











lilmashu (right) - burn victim

Wow Matt, that's a totally different costume than the one you had last year.















GreyFoxVinzin - Blue Mage

Nice Job Grey, I'll be emailing you soon about some things. 


Here are the winners I chose. I picked these two because honestly it just looks like you guys really got into character. That's something just as important to the costume itself, having fun with the costume and being someone else. I'll look for you guys in chat and find a way to send you the prize.









mrfabulous - Sid Vicious
(Winner)

I never was a Sex Pistols fan, but I guess here's my reason to research them.


















davethezombie - travis touchdown
(Winner)

I can't tell what you're using as the beam katana. What is that?





Thanks again everyone,
David

That just made my day! =D

Congratulations to all the other costumes, especially to davethezombie. They look really really cool and I can tell you obviously spent more time on them than I did on mine. ^_^ Congrats again, everyone!

Nice one Dave, I was totally thinking about getting a Travis Touchdown costume together this year but was WAY too lazy.

Looks good guys, unfortunately, I didn't dress up this year, perhaps next year.

PS: David, you might want to start with the song Anarchy In The UK if you're gonna look into The Sex Pistols. Good stuff. =]

Good job guys. Those costumes are awesome.

E. Grey said...

Good Rorschach! I thought about doing that, but couldn't think of any way to breathe through the mask/fabric.

I saw Dave's earlier. Freakin' awesome. Best lightsaber-wielding zombie assassin ever. Way to go man!

All very cool, but I have a huge Watchmen bias, so the Rorschach one is my top pick.

Also, that movie needs to come out, like, yesterday.

Dave the Zombie said...

Hooray! Congrats to mrfab too for your awesome costume. :D

Also great job to those who entered as well, love those costumes!
Took a LOT of hairgel but totally worth it. As for the beam katana, that was a green foil wrapped around a cardboard stick. xD

DutchMeat said...

Thanks for the honorable mention David. Congrats Dave and Mrfab. Everyone, awesome costumes.

Congrats to all who entered. And congrats to mrfab and dave for winning (That hair much have been a bitch to get right. lol). All great costumes.

My personal fav was Jennadi's Silent Hill nurse outfit (See halloween thread). It look so convincing and as if she was straight from the film.

Wow, thanks Cosmic. I take that as a big compliment because UK people are better than Americans ^_^
Unfortunately, I sent my pictures in the wrong Sunday because David's words confused me.
The picture of Dave's costume isn't showing for me but looking at the others, I'm pissed.
Whatever, life likes fucking with me.
