Bold Colors: Building Contest #3

Announcing...

The Chocolate Froggy Bloggy Building Contest #3: Bold Colors!

 

That's right folks! I have just recently (read: today) obtained a fantastic set of prizes and am not hesitating to announce the contest in which to get these out of my hair. Another building contest is underway and I hope each and every one of you enters. This is especially timely because I know some of you are home from college and near your collections, able to build.

 

The theme: Mix-and-match clashing colors.

I have a theory that any color combination is possible, it just takes the right pieces and the right amount of each color to create the perfect blend.

So it is your job to build a MOC with two (or more if you dare) clashing colors that normally would not be seen together (I'll leave the discrepancy up to you, just no strictly black and white MOCs), and make it look good. (Examples: Red and teal. Tan and purple. White and yellow.)

 

Deadline: 11:59 pm, Tuesday, January 4th, 2011, or soon after. (That means if I am awake when the clock strikes Wednesday, I close the blog entry. If I'm not near a computer until Wednesday morning, you still have time to submit a MOC.)

 

Voting will take place soon after, and hopefully everything will be done by the time I return to school the next week, able to send off prizes.

 

Oh, yes, prizes! First, second, and third place winners get a Series 3 minifig! Don't ask what they are, I'm not telling. They were relatively a chance on me getting them, so it will be up to chance until the winners are announced (at which point the 1st prize winner gets to choose which he wants, and so on), in the spirit of the figs.

 

General BZP contest rules apply. Or else. (Make it obviously Technic/Bionicle in inspiration, but there can be more deviance into the realm of System than most contests allow.)

Also: Keep it moderately sized. No monsters, but no 3-piece entries either. Between a Toa and a $20 Bionicle set.

Questions answered in the second posted reply to this blog entry.

 

I want at least 5 entries, otherwise the contest is off. I got 10 last time, and I hope we can have more than that this time. Tell your friends! Link in your blog! I'll make a banner soon...

 

Post questions and entries (with your name, the MOC name, and link to the primary picture) here.

Want to enter, but which colors =/

 

Would Teal and Burnt Orange count?

I'm not denying any entries (though I ruled out black and white), but will encourage voters to consider the clashing of colors (and the general spirit of the contest's theme) in their voting.

So, just to be absolutely clear, does this include complementary colors, which are technically the most clashing colors can get?

If colors compliment one another, how do they clash?

I'm looking for the unexpected and wild.

Complimentary colors are those that are opposite each other on the color wheel (yellow/purple, orange/blue, red/green, etc.). They can be pretty clashy.

Then go ahead and use them.

 

are keetorange/white ok?

As I said, I'm leaving up the clashing opinion up to you. It will then face the judgment of your peers during the voting session(s).

Idk if Mata red and Mata blue are clashing colours... would my entry be accepted into the contest if it used those colours?

As I've said multiple times: I am not denying entries. It is up to you to decide what colors to use as a part of the theme.

(IMO, however, those sound fine.)

I've got an entry pic in the works, but I'm wondering: Can I slightly desaturate the background? This doesn't affect the MOC, asides from making it a bit more distinctly outlined.

Ok my MOCs done but I have to ask some questins before entering it tomorrow.

 

1. So even if the MOC is specifically made to ride another MOC (a horse), that counts as 2 seperate MOC? Which means it is not allowed if I am right :/

 

2. Regarding the above if true, my two MOCs can actually be combined (in a simple way) to form a centaur, so would that form be allowed to enter?

 

3. This is for the entry pic, could it have the rider and horse be part of the same image as the Centaur? Seeing as we are allowed to do this in BBCs I believe.

 

Thanks CF ^.^
