Jack Skellington and Zero

[Tereglith]

WARNING: This thread contains graphic depictions of twelve extraordinarily illegal piece connections. These pieces are doing things that God never intended them to do. Viewer disgression is advised.

Now that we've got that over with, here's my revision of the Jack Skellington I did for CopMike's Christmas Raffle. It's basically a total remake, the only thing I kept the same was the torso and head. Once I finished it, I just had to add Zero and some thirty-second scenery. See if you can spot all twelve illegal connections!

Any suggestions for the head? I'm not satisfied with this one.

I'n't he cute? Funny story about how I spent twenty minutes looking for a white cape that doesn't exist. I ended up using paper, so this MOC is both impure and illegal.

Uh-oh. I've broken the number-one rule of photographing lego - That's my cat in the background!

Jack's about seven inches tall, and the entire thing is only about seventy pieces. Sorry about the crappy photos, my dad's camera was being a jerk and I couldn't set up my usual paper studio on the couch. Do try to enjoy it though! This and the original Jack are my first work in this scale of character building, so constructive criticism is welcome.

These look very nice even for the bad photos.Th white cape looks great even if it is paper . And just to mention you have great mocs but you need to look into making a place you can take photos because bad photos do take away from the moc itself.

Actually, there is a white cape, it comes on Mon Mothma in the Home One set. Your MOC looks great from what I can tell, but it's very, very hard to make out because of the pictures. Please try to take some better ones, and then it will look fabulous!

Nice! It looks really good!

However, I think that you need a studio (i.e a big white paper which you can use as background).

And yes, as Clone O´Patra said, the white cape does exist. It comes with Mon Mothma, and also in some of the upcoming -10 PoP sets.

Last pic: "Watch out! Murder cat incoming!"

Dadgum, it does exist! Oh well, the paper turned out fine, and the Mon Cal Cruiser set is a bit expensive anyway. Maybe I'll get one in a PoP set.

I would love to have enough room to have a photo studio, but my house is rather small (one story, no basement, no attic), so there isn't really anywhere that I can set one up except for putting paper on the couch. This has turned out some perfectly satisfactory pictures before. But with my dad's camera, it's hit-and-miss. It's fairly old and often doesn't want to cooperate. Hopefully I can get my own, with a tripod and such, sometime in the near future, but for now this is the best I can do (especially when my sister is taking up the whole couch).

Perfectly satisfactory? So you had the couch in the background in the upper right corner of the pic on purpose?

I know how you feel. Sisters...

Hey, I was satisfied with it. That makes it satisfactory so far as I care.
