WOOHOOO!!!! MOTHER CLUCKERS!!!! It is time for another awesome challenge my fellow Monk Fiends! After the success of the last challenge, I have decided that now it's time to sculpt my body the old fashioned way! No none of this CGI nonsense, just full on practical effects for this endeavor just like they used to do it. Just need to use this space to prepare the materials I need to make a classic make up! But who am I? Some of you may be knew contestants, aiming to join me in this competition that takes creativity, skill, and good ole Sci Fi know how! I am BlackTezca, GIF queen extraordinaire who started out carving out simple prosthetic in From Lurker to (Newb) Rebel! and slowly been detailing more make up and improvements in my trade in BlackTezca's Daily Battle Towards A Much Better Year before creating a full on fabricated mechanized fighting masterpiece in the latest award winning cult classic BlackTezca's 16th Trial: An Artsy Geeky Amazon Defends the Universe!. After such stunning masterpiece, it was only fit that I enter into this next challenge to text out my practical effect skill!! However, I have to make sure I use the proper materials and have the process down in order to complete this challenge! I can't go in blindly; careful concept design, skills in sculpting out clay, creating the mold to fill with silicone, foam, and other, perhaps more fluid products are needed! Not only that, but all this must be applied first before finally the details are fully fleshed out in last looks. That final look hopefully leading to the finale of a long line of creature features. The most awesome of all awesome genre films is my main goal...and that main finale Swan Song film is... My Main Quest to be as POWERFUL and BATTLE READY as Wonder Woman It truly be a most epic movie! Just needs the right monstrous creature and angelically design hero to complete it! Let's see how to do exactly that with the following materials and steps! Concept Design: Get inspired from Nerdfitness rebels and especially from the recruits! Details: I did really good last time so I want to do this again; this time aiming for the newbies to the challenges! it's always good to have encouragement from fellow Rebels and I know that first challenges can be particularly difficult; thus the goal would be to not only leave comments on my solid companions, but also on those just starting out! Any guild goes! Contingencies: If I lack internet, that would be the only contingency. However, as long as I have a nifty device, I should be able to make it!Tracking: Tracking to be done here! On the forums where I need to comment!Grading: A for commenting at least once on a fellow Rebel's challenge 4 to 5 days a week! - 15 exp ( 2 Cha ) B for commenting at least once on a fellow Rebel's challenge 2 to 3 days a week! - 10 exp ( 1 Cha ) F for all else Sculpting: Lets get rid of excess clay to a sculpt a masterpiece! Details: I started this during my last challenge but did not call it out and perhaps I should have cause it made the eating quest there a little harder: I am trying out Intermittent Fasting, grabbing a few guidelines from Lean Gains. This is gonna a bit tough and I'm not gonna start all out seven days a week...just five days a week. I'm also not gonna go out with NOTHING every morning...just coffee with cream and stevia. The cream will have calories, but one could give me a break for 50 cals right? Right? Contingencies: Whenever I am at the In-Laws and they make breakfast. Should not be often but just in case I need some flexibility here. Tracking: I'll be tracking the stretching sessions using MyFitnessPal ( username BlackTezca ) with extra accountability done here. Grading: A for Intermittent Fasting, 9 pm to 12 pm, 5 to 7 days days a week - 20 exp ( 1 Sta 2 Con ) B for Intermittent Fasting, 9 pm to 12 pm, 3 to 4 times a week - 15 exp ( 2 Con ) C for Intermittent Fasting, 9 pm to 12 pm, 2 times a week - 10 exp ( 1 Con ) F for all else Molding: Need to fill this body with silicone (or water) to create a great appliance! Details: So since I am doing intermittent fasting I will definitely need to consider filling me up with something! And that something will be water! I have been slack with my water drinking these past few months and while working out actively again has caused me to drink more water; I need to make sure I get my full amount! Time to drink up! Contingencies: Well if I am in a desert, trapped with no clean water; I'm just gonna need to get creative! Tracking: I'll be tracking the stretching sessions using MyFitnessPal ( username BlackTezca ) with extra accountability done here. Grading: A for 8 glasses of water, 5 to 7 days days a week - 20 exp ( 1 Sta 2 Con ) B for 8 glasses of water 3 to 4 times a week - 15 exp ( 2 Con ) C for 8 glasses of water 2 times a week - 10 exp ( 1 Con ) F for all else Application: Time to put the above together some adhesive to make sure the mold and sculpt is strong! Details: Time to bring back some strength training for my 'application' quest! This will build my design/body up to be strong. This will be for all strength training workouts, including resistance training too (so snow shoveling, moving boxes, and kickboxing with heavy bags). Let's get buff! Contingencies: Sickness and travel will be the contigencies! Tracking: I'll be tracking the workouts using MyFitnessPal ( username BlackTezca ) and this lovely thread will be updated as well. Grading: A for Strength workout (Kickboxing included) 3 to 4 times a week - 25 pts ( 2 Dex 2 Str ) B for Strength workout (Kickboxing included) out 1 to 2 times a week - 20 pts ( 1 Dex 1 Str ) F for all else Last Looks: Time to spice up the sculpt with the final touches, including addition fabrications and some paint! Details: Let's make some art! Digital Painting, Model Painting, any kind of sketching, any kind of art is needed here! Time to spice up the final piece with some color and some more detail! Contingencies: The usual! Friends being in town, going on possible trips else where, etc. Tracking: I have an art Tumblr and I also have DeviantArt (WATCH ME FOR ACCOUNTABILITY). I shall use those and this thread to keep track. Grading: A for Arting at least 30 minutes 4 to 5 days a week - 20 exp ( 2 Wis 1 Cha )B for Arting at least 30 minutes 2 to 3 days a week - 15 exp ( 1 Wis 1 Cha) F for all else Looks like we have solid plan for this next creature feature!
