I finally have a promising project and I can't get ahold of any artists  I'm currently putting together a presentation for a manufactoring company (did my research and got very very lucky and found the perfect people to do this) My plan is to have them make basically a candy bag with clone style Lego minifigures in "custom" forms. Only problem is I can't sketch for anything I need some help with the prelim sketches. It won't be anything too difficult, elves and goblins who look similer, normal heads with a hat on top with hair and ears (poison elves style), 2 soldiers in modern us military garb, one in chemical warfare uniform with the tan combat vest, the other in just normal wear. and one helmet and one floppy kangroo type hat. a zombie and a zombie hunter, a full black minifigure with a skeleton design printed on it, a frankenstein monster with green skin and knobs but a girl and in pink and purple colors, a scarecrow, & a malchi figure (the biblical guy) and maybe the angel michael (?) as he is on all those pics and statues of him killing the devil. lego style, faces shouldn't look like lego faces (generally) and i need any accessories that they are holding or whatever drawn alone. oh elf and troll have a tibeten type prayer tattood on their cheek right side long side up and down short end across. no specific details just needs to look right. oh and they are both rebels and allies. that's about it. thanks for the help and there's a few bags of them headed your way in exchange for the favor |

Oops. I forgot. You can post the sketches here or send them to my email or the mail on here. These days my email is the same but the number is 5 now. And still put pineapple in the body and/or title. I want someplace to mail the product to when it's done and here but not sure when that'll be within 5 months. I'll tell you when I need it. Oh and list any information I should put with it, designed by x of y company or company website or however you want me to list that info. It'll be on the instruction sheet right above the extra info about who it is (which if anyone wants to do there's some of the product in it for you) Oh oh ya. I also am doing a red mage from ff1 (kinda a generic form) and a 2 by 2 square with a slit in the center (I wanna make it so a onemonk fig fits inside the slit but don't know the length it should be) I'll be posting pics of the real life models throughout the day. Thanks |

I can see the picture. Wish I could help but I'm no good at sketching either.  |

If you are good at marking up or arting up real life items you can mark up some old Lego men and take a pic. If you live in Vegas I can give you the Lego figures to mark up.

Oh and if you (or anyone who reads these words) happens to be really really good at building new custom & unique items I want to hear from you. I have ideas for various sets. For instance I need a ruined moss covered wall (and a picture directions or better if you want to go better). Maybe with a tree attached.
Do you know what else I need? People interested in the product. Really gonna need people to buy it (although that's what eBay auctions are for)
And if anyone out there has a small company and (assuming this is legal) happen to have a membership in the right council and has upc's I would love to work out a deal that will allow that UPC to go on my product & it passes Walmart protocols and can get on their shelf? Tall order.

For the troll I want a face in this type of form  Hehe. Wish that was a custom head. I love that that of grin the Guy from wolfenstein makes this face when he's at 100% and get's the big gun Soldiers in chemical gear. Have reservetations about sending a pic of soldiers to China even if it is a public domain pic  |

Plus if I get this finished fast enough & it makes enough money I am going to get 3 to 6 "sets" made. Only two so far are the surprise encounter at rebel hideout and zombies at the (thinking grocery store)

Hmm. It is quite a while b4 Halloween. Perhapse I'll do a run of just a building block figure poly bag item to split up the time. This run -Frankenstein and skeleton and maybe add another zombie or soldier or elf or troll. Hmm. Or i may break it up to two set's, one 10 zombies and zombie hunters & the other the other stuff. Call the zombie ones zombie packs |

Hmm... Lets look at this one... elvish face, silver looong hairs, looong ears, metal bracers - kinda mission completed!  Just to make it clear - that's NOT a submission by any means - made and posted just for fun.  |

Haha. Funny. Ok scratch the elves off for now anyway. Decided to go with zombies for now anyway. Too early to make much money with candy bags anyway. Gonna do one of these  call it a zombie pack & includes one of 5 zombies, 2 soldiers, a hero type Guy, a survivor, and the angel. Simple. This was my fallback point for after Halloween anyway. And heck zombie packs? I could sell em on eBay til I make enough to justify getting a UPC and do some marketing pitches. I could sell that into the Christmas season |

Just a reminder. If anyone was thinking of helping me out the final deadline is tomorrow (Saturday) morning. I have some numbers to crunch and after that the last presentation to the factory before the quote.
