Hello everyone

Keywolf suggested a fantastic idea of a theme Halloween image
of Monster in my Pocket to go on the Monster Collecting homepage.
He suggested using Monsters such as Witch, Ghoul etc in Black
and Oranges colours.

I really liked the suggestion and it made me think back to the
Christmas Tree image (last Xmas) & Love Bug image (valentine)
I had up there. But I had not even thought of doing one for
Halloween ha!

Now this brings me to ask if anyone else would like to join in
this fiendish activity? If people could submit photographs
of figures/dioramas/set pieces that go with the theme of
HALLOWEEN then I will put them on the homepage throughout
October!

Nice pun Post from now onwards... 1st October I hope to
air the first image.

Also 'think outside the box', if you want to add text or
captions to the images, feel free!

Does it have to be black and orange figures?

Black (as you know) are hard to come by, but i do have some in other colours,
if any colour can be used, im in

Black and Orange was just an example, skies the limit!
However you feel you can interpret the theme Halloween.
Food for thought: another example an army of Zombie figures
in a cityscape? Think of horror movie scenes perhaps?

Once we get a few entries and I provide my own examples
the challenge will hopefully be better understood

I love the Black Vampire! He looks especially cool in that color.

Fun contest! I´m in, have time to take photos today. Should post something later.

I would prefer just MIMP figures for the cover shots
for Monster Collecting. What did you have in mind?

bigburty - Love the submissions, fun use of editing!
These are certainly viable... I even think you could
take it a stage further and switch out the background
perhaps?

Leviathan - Cool, you got some Dryads in shot (as
we discussed). I forgot about the GITD, very nice.
Autumn conkers aswell! Nice... almost could be a
carnivorous plant of some kind with sharp teeth.

Thanks for the effort guys, keep them coming...
I will add to the website (1 per day from October 1st)

[SmokinGun]

Fun stuff to burn a little time. Heres mine.

SmokinGun - Great use of colour, nice one!

I have uploaded my first image to get the ball rolling...
Everyday I will upload a new image which will push the
previous image to the right. So you will be able to
scroll through 31 images by the end of the month.

I will upload in order of submission except for in
some cases I might mix it up if styles are similar
just to get a change of pace and variety.

My favorite part of Halloween are the ghosts.

[keywolf]

Wow Darryl, you've turned my idea into something wonderful! Love the pics so far, I'll be sure to have a go myself though my photograpy skills aren't the best....
Halloween is the best time of year!

[bigburty]
