As we're now more than a third of the way through September, to give everyone time to work on something, this art challenge will run through to the end of October, i.e. Hallowe'en! Inspired by that date, the fabulous costumes that fans come up with for various conventions and such, plus this recent Cosplay and costuming thread created by @KimMH, the theme for this challenge is Creepy Cosplay!
For this costume party, I'd like to see you dress yourself (or a willing partner/friend/animal companion) or a mannequin/doll/action figure as something spooky and Star Trek related, whether obvious or obscure. It doesn't have to be solely Star Trek, but the Star Trek element must be on show.
You can use existing assets, such as a commercial or pre-made uniform (for example), but you must create something new and significant for your piece too - such as part of your costume, make-up, a prop or scenery.
However, if fabric and foam rubber aren't your forte, or constructing with cardboard leaves you cold and you can't even bring yourself to give it a try, by all means go with something that you're more comfortable with, such as a drawing, CG model or photo-manips. But... if you go down the 2D route, your drawing/CG model/photo-manip must be of a recognisable Star Trek character in costume as someone/thing else, and you cannot use any existing assets (except for the photo that you may be manipulating, of course
).
Here are the rules for the challenge:
Please submit your entry by midnight on Saturday 30th October - ready for viewing and voting on Sunday 31st, Hallowe'en. This time there won't be any extension to the deadline, so good luck!
