Subject: MiskatonickNick Photo Emulation Challenge II Sun Jul 30, 2023 7:02 pm
As the previous "Emulate MiskatonicNick" Photo Challenge was a great success with wonderful original images from several members, I'm gonna try to get you all to do it again. BTW, the original challenge is still open, if you have a photo to contribute but haven't had the time.
In our second challenge, you are being asked to emulate the theme of this photo.
Your entry should show a villain in the foreground being surprised at gunpoint by one of your heroes or heroines. A heroine is more in the spirit of the original, but if you have only male figures, then that's allowable also. Also, please try to put some fallen henchmen in the background, presumably killed by our hero / heroine. Captions or speech balloons are not required, but encouraged. This is for fun, and not a contest. Just enjoy yourself, and allow your creativity to manifest itself.
PS. While those memebers having a Dr. Diablos kitbash figure in their collections are highly encouraged to use them as he is a MiskatonicNick creation, any villain will do. You don't need a Dr. Diablos figure to participate in this.

Well Dal, you have Diablos figure, lots of pretty female agents, and plenty of stuff for a background. It would be best if your goons are wearing some sort of uniform, but if you don't have any, then go with what you have.

I need to dig out Diablos and put him back together . Not so sure about uniforms?

I've noticed something of a general absence of uniforms in your collections.

Great photo, Dal. Totally love it! It completely fits the concept while being different enough from mine and the original to make it stand out as yours.

Fantastic!
The uniform for your Diablos looks absolutely epic! He's a contemporary bad-*ss now, rather than being stuck in the past!
Diablos has even upgraded his device from some kind of 1960s relic to an LED readout, like something out of the 1980s!
I love the looks of your Agent! She's like an updated version of Lotta Danger or Agent Havoc -- too cool!
And the rocks with the moss -- I can't suppress a fake rock fanboy über-squee when I see that moss!

Great pictures!
Here's my little entry... H.P. Lovecraft-style.
When Sir Maurice Newbury fell under the spell of the Old Ones, Veronica Hobbes had to stop him. Even if it meant to shoot the love of her life...
Okay I’m really really liking the complete outfit that you’re Dr Diablos is wearing.

I totally love the Victorian era costumes! The fellow even has a watch chain! The pleated skirt is nice, and I like the detailing on her blouse cuffs. Plus, cape = hawtness. Or coolness. Depends on who's wearing it.
The hovering, glowing Ghost of Cthulhu is very well done.
Nice shattered archway backdrop, too, with fallen brick details on the floor slabs.
The detailing on the eldritch tome the chap is absconding with is excellent!
An eerie and effective image!

I agree. Many layers to that pic and a lot of detail. Very nice figures.

Clever re-purposing of the Peggy Carter head sculpt and Dr. Who figure. The Smith & Wesson Schofield revolver is a nice, retro touch as well. Thanks for contributing

Thanks for the nice comments. I'm really impressed how closely you have looked at the photo. You even recognized the type of pistol. I'm still kind of unsatisfied with the overall framing and photo angle, as I had trouble aligning the background picture nicely. Also, I had to overly increase the aperture number to have a sufficient depth of field, which then forced me to crank up the gain ... But the photo still somewhat works

I've been collecting and shooting firearms since the age of 12. If anyone on this site were going to correctly identify that revolver, it would be me.
