The end of the Pick...

Okay, so... I'm two weeks into December, and have had no picks. Why? Well, I'm discontinuing the product, as it were. Do to the lack of feedback, and the fact that I'm a bit bored with it, I shall do no more picks. That's not to say they won't come back (especially if I get feedback!), but right now, I'm going to focus on other things. I'll probably have a November vote sometime next week, and that'll be the end...

In the meantime: The novel is under way again! I've finished writing an extensive draft of notes and plot details, and will now start actually writing again! Also: as soon as get my birthday/christmas camera (a Canon Rebel T2i!), I'm going to take some good pictures of my own customs and upload those. Finally, Those who read Pockett will notice a real, live, legitimate update! An update that promises... reruns. Yes, ten strips in, and reruns. But there will be some new content, and I'm also working my way towards finishing the digital models for all new stuff, so look for great things to come from Pockett!

Thanks now, and see y'all later!

Pick of the Week, Nov 4/4

Okay, November draws to a close, and I'm late again. Phoo sticks.
So yeah... Thanksgiving was good, black friday was skipped entirely, and I'm in my last week of fall semester; shots all around. To check out two of my final projects, head over to pockett.comicgenesis.com I think you'll like what you see... If I ever actually update the comics...

Now, onto the Pick. This week we have WWII 101st Screaming Eagles by lance858a. While the 101st was a real unit, these characters are not: they are Duke, Hawk, and Flint from the joeverse. However, the costumes are very well done and historically accurate, and feature parts from multiple toy lines, as well as original sculpted parts. Add in the detailed paint job, and you have a trio of very good figures.

And as for the October Pick of the Month: the winner is Kamakura by kingphilbert. Congratulations, kingphilbert!

October Pick of the Month-- Voting

Okay, so here it is-- voting for October Pick of the month! Just like last month, Pick one option on the poll box to the right and say which figure is your favorite! The candidates are, in chronological order:

Kamakura by kingphilbert

Please remember to vote, and have a good week! Hez out.

Pick of the Week, Oct 2/5

Okay, this is a little late, but here is Pick #2 for October: Mary Blaine, by stocos28. Mary's an origional charachter, but fits in well with the rest of the more rationaly designed Joes. This figure, while clearly femenine, has limbs containing parts from masculine figures, making her just a tad more bulky, thereby more real and far less fragile looking. A good design choice, in my eyes. Also, they dry brushing adds a lot of depth to the figure. (I likes me some dry brushin'!) So congratulations to stocos28 on a job well done! http://www.hisstank.com/forum/g-i-joe-customs-finished-projects/88454-mary-blaine-stocos28.html

On a related note: thanks to all seven of you who participated in the Pick of the Month poll last week. The winner was *drumroll* Kamakura by Mythic. Yay!!!!
