LEGO Pulp Hero Contest! by Azaghal Gabilzaramul


That's right, everybody: after a full year of dieselpulpy goodness, it's time for a contest!

Task:
Create an original Pulp Hero and build a MOC of them at some point during the course of their adventures - undertaking daring jungle explorations, thrilling wartime encounters, or anything else appropriate to the period.

Rules:
All entries should center around an original pulp-style hero - teams are allowed, already existing heroes aren't.
All entries should not take up more than 16x16 studs. They don't have to actually fit in a 16x16 square, but should fit on an equivalent number of studs. There is no height or piece limit.
No modified bricks or unofficial stickers/decals - custom accessories such as Brickarms or Brickforge products are acceptable.
All entries should consist of one picture that has been 1) submitted to the group pool, 2) posted in the entry thread to be started one week from today, and 3) tagged, "Pulp Hero Contest". All entries must be received before 11:59 PM Eastern Standard Time on 2 December 2009, and cannot have been seen on the internet prior to today.
You can submit as many entries as you want, but keep in mind that one excellent entry is better than several not-so-excellent ones.

Prize:
The single best entry (as determined by myself and fellow judge Pain Parade) will receive a brand new Indiana Jones 7195 Ambush in Cairo set. The judging will be based on originality, presentation (picture quality and backstory), and build quality.

If you have completed your entry ready before we make the entry thread, you know you haven't put enough effort into it or you should think about taking this extra time to get back to your life (the one outside of flickr). :P

I'll assume that wasn't an insult and proceed.
I was suggesting the thread pre-emptively, because I know the rapidity of the building process for other builders on flickr.

Why is this contest so easily forgotten? I keep coming here and I keep seeing it, and I always tell myself to remember, but never do.
