GK Corner 2012 Figure Contest report (Warning Image Heavy !!!)

Hi everyone,

For the people who don't know, I'm an administrator on GK Corner.
Huniken (a mod and also a friend) and myself have organized a GK contest that was finished on January.
This thread has no other purpose than sharing with you here the work of all the GK Corner members who entered.
The only instruction was no "cute" or "SD" characters for the moment, maybe for another contest... WIP were also encouraged after the entries were published.



The three winners did an amazing work, especially Mr Patient that totally created his figure from Queen's Blade by sculpting and painting her.
I'm not especially fan of this anime and the overall chara design, but what he did was incredible !

The other entries were also excellent. To be honest I'm very proud of our members that outdid themselves and the work we provided for this contest. A very fun time, I hope that we will organize another contest next year.



The 3 winners ! :

There are marvelous job on this kit and many different univers, that's good.
The first is good but a little disapointed by the lack of shadows on leather, chothes and effect on the snake.
The marble columns of Vampirella are fantastic
It was a very good contest
Thanks Oga to show you these work

(and I love the certifacate design too! The arrow is very well Located! He did a very good Job!)

Thanks guys for the comment !
There was 24 people registered but only 14 people submitted an entry. That was anyway a good rate for a first time on this forum...
Yep they are many excellent modelers on GKC, I know some of them for years now. By chance a lot of them are doing WIPs so everyone is getting better by sharing his experience...

Thanks Sleep ! because I actually did all the contest design ! (Logo, certificate, etc...)
Huniken was the guy who "powered" the contest because he had the idea of it and launched it in the first time. He also gave the money for the prize... so he was the main organizer.
I gave him a hand in a second time by helping him with the forum administration, publishing entries, collecting votes and made the design for the event. We did our best to run this contest as good as possible.

Money was involved so it could have been difficult in case of problem. That's why we set a very simple voting system with no judge.
Every members was able to vote via PM by giving points to the entry he preferred (3 - 2 and 1 point). The 3 entries who had the more points were the winners.
I was glad that all was OK in the final and made with a fun/friendly spirit !
