It's Picture Day! ***CLOSED***

This contest is about showing off your Toyvoyager's character. You can dress him/her up, or have them in their birthday suit in front of a lovely background. You just take a portrait photo of your Toyvoyager. You can submit a portrait of as many of your TV's as you want. The photo must be a full body view of your TV. Once all the photos have been submitted, everyone gets to vote on their favorite portrait. Whoever gets the most votes wins the prize!

The prize is a secret! This time, it's not a handmade TV. It's something unique and one of kind.

Submit your photos by Monday October 31th. Voting will be held from Nov. 1 - 7. The prize will be ready that weekend.

Yay! :) This is a portrait picture of my new Monkey who doesn't yet have a name. I may ask on another forum for name ideas... She is female. I haven't yet got an activation code for her, but she will become a TV soon. Can she still enter the competition?

I will hopefully get some more portraits of other TVs done in time for the closing date!

Here's Franklin's entry! It's a photo we didn't post from when we were watching the Tigers game just the other day. We have a couple other photos that I think are MUCH better portrait photos, however they are not quite full-body pictures unfortunately. :(

Franklin really loves baseball so I think this photo captures his personality very well! ;)

By the way klubwerks, even if the prize is not a handmade TV, isn't a handmade TV "something unique and one of kind" by its very nature? :D Heehee.

Yes, Gizalba, you can still enter the cute monkey.

I like both portraits so far. Franklin in his uniform is too cute ;-)

Ooh another Klubwerks competition!  I couldn't do the last one...

Can I submit an old photo!  My toy voyagers are all way, unless I can take a photo of a toy I am hosting?

This is Baby Gonga on a camping trip a few years ago

I don't know if it counts because I took it so long ago.

Gizalba your orangutang is gorgeous and deserves to have a gorgeous name.

It was a great idea to photograph Franklin in his tigers kit as it shows off his blue yes.

Orangesunshine I have seen D'artagnan in a post somewhere and it is lovely to see that he has been an active toy voyager for quite some time before joining here. He is very handsome.

Oooh, how cute Baby Gonga is!! :stare:

Franklin thanks for the compliment, Leslee. He is very proud of his blue eyes (and everything else about himself. He has a big ego for a little teddy bear!)

Gizalba, your beautiful orangutan seems to me to have the color of burnt sienna. How about Sienna for a name? :rolleyes:
Gizalba

Leslee - Is that a Baby-Gonga-sized tent behind Baby Gonga?! How adorable :D

Marina - I have just googled the colour of burnt sienna, and you are right! It is a perfect name, thankyou so much. Sienna is very happy now :) I got her from a charity shop but her fur is so soft... I'm not sure I can part with her now so maybe she can become a stay at home host TV... We'll see ;) Franklin's blue eyes really are stunning, hearing about his big ego made me laugh.

Klubwerks - I am glad Sienna is allowed to enter :P

Haha! Oh wow, I'm happy you chose the name. :p I think it fits her very well! She looks so sweet.

Don't send her out in the world if you feel yourself becoming attached. I know I wouldn't. Or if you do, maybe send it to trusted hosts only in your own country. My fear is always TV's getting lost in the mail when shipping internationally. Even more so because in my home country (Argentina) it's not uncommon for packages to "disappear" on the way --whoever handles the mail steals it if they suspect something valuable may be inside! :mad: We don't send greeting cards with little gifts inside back to our country anymore. Thankfully here in the USA I don't have this problem (I've been living here for ten years now.)

By the way, Franklin is asking me if Boris Tonks would like to visit Florida. ;)

I'm new here, but I read allready some Topics. And I think the
competitions are very well. Hoppsi is on his first journey
so I can't take an actual picture (from today ^^) from him. But I
made some before he go out. I would like the following picture,
because I think it's the lovliest one of him (at the moment). You
can it see also in his travellog.


Sorry the upload from the picture didn't work the first time.

Toothy Walrus in the Aussie outback with the famous red centre dirt... :-P

I also have a couple more, but I'm not sure if they qualify because they're with another TV... but obviously Toothy is the main theme point for these... I'll only put the links though unless it doesn't count...

2 Zandy's Hoppsi
3 Marina's Franklin
4 Leslee's Baby Gonga

6 Gizalba's monkey

All the entries were so cute <3

I found this really difficult to do but once I started thinking about the competition description about showing the toys character it got a bit easier, but still a tough call...

1 Orangesunshine's D'artagnan
2 Katara's Nate
3 Marina's Franklin
4 Zandy's Hoppsi
5 Gizalba's orangutan
6 Sararingham's Toothy Walrus

No number 7 because Baby Gonga is mine.

You should see how many times I cut and pasted this list changing them all around because I loved them all!

Ooh, this is indeed hard! I too kept swapping them around. Erm... could I possibly just vote for my top 3 favourites? I feel bad that listing 7 seems to reflect which ones were my least favourite, as I do like them all. However let me know if I have to list all 7?

I think the voting is fun though :)

1. Katara's Nate
2. Orangesunshine's D'Artagnan
3. Leslee's Baby Gonga

Posted Nov 4, 2011, 10:06 pm
I agree with you Gizalba because my list doesn't reflect how I feel about them, I think top three voting is best...

i have discussed it with d'artagnan the whole night.
he thinks he is the cutest ... the others are cute as well. the first three haven't been easy. and, we have decided to give three 4th ranks in alphabetical order, if allowed.

4. leslee's baby gonga

The prize is taking longer than I expected to make, but I wanted to share a preview with you.

The prize is a cartoon version of your TV! These previews are just the scanned image, and I am working on the cleanup / coloring of them now. I'll have them completed as soon as possible.

As you can see, I did one of Nate (the winner) and I decided to do one for Franklin too!
Gizalba

Wow, these are brilliant klubwerks! You have many creative talents :D The winners must be very happy with their surprises.

Thank you for the compliment! I do a lot of art, from drawing cartoons, making soft toys, making things from polymer clay, to modding nerf guns for steampunk.

I have 31 rabbit charcters that I've drawn / created which is more than any other animals I've made characters of. I love drawing bunnies apparently, even though cats are my favorite animals lol

In concusion... I might make one of Hoppsi if I can get time to.

OH MY GOSH!! :stare: :o

Franklin has been sick (head fell off, he had to be sent to the teddy bear hospital) and I've had such an awful month, I did not check Toyvoyagers at all... And now I log in to this! How WONDERFUL!! I could cry!! :'D Franklin will be so happy (he is home and healthy now, by the way!)

Congrats to Nate, and thank you thank you thank you klubwerks!! :cyclops:

If I PM you my email address, do you think I could have a hi-res version of it, when you have colored it? Eventually, I would love to have this printed on canvas and hung on my wall. You've made my day! Thank you for your kindness. ;)

Posted Dec 11, 2011, 7:38 pm
Aww! I am so glad that Franklin is okay. I'm happy that I could make you feel happy. I'm sorry it's taking so long to get them done. It's been a crazy busy holiday season!

I would be happy to email out the high rez pictures when they are done. I have a few hours now to work on them, so we'll see how much I can get done before I get busy again ;-)
