Weekend Warriors NEW
 
There doesn't seem to be much interest in bringing back Weekend Warriors, so I won't be adding any new themes. There's one more left then it'll be finished.


2-3 June 2012
Unlikely Heroes
Everyone in Cobra can't be pure evil. Show the bad guys preforming an act of heroism or some good deed.




How it works:
Each weekend will have a new theme for members in interpret in your own way. As simple as that. It's just for fun, something everyone can work on together. Title your photos Weekend Warriors: [insert theme] so everyone knows. Post them on the weekend or the following Monday. Anyone can participate. No sign-ups required. (Same format as in the past.)

It's been almost a year since we had WW so I thought I'd try and restart it. If you have some ideas for themes, post them in this thread. Keep the ideas open enough that anyone can participate. I'll update this first post with new themes one month in advance so everyone has time to plan ahead.

Previous themes:
Stealth
Combat
Aftermath
Accessories
Wildlife
Filecards
Historic
Customs

I have a few ideas
 
I think we should do one weekend as a "Historic theme"
Pictures that look like real, and are from different wars like (not all of them just which everone u would like do)
Civil War
World War 1
World War 2
Korea
Vietnam
Iraq war
Operation Iraqi Freedom
ect.

let me know what u guys think

I love this idea and am glad you're bringing it back. It always gave me motivation todo something at the end of the work week when I hadn't set aside the time to take photos that week.

Good themes TOD, I'll try and post some shots for them.

I don't think this one would be good for everyone, only because there doesn't seem to be a lot of members with historical figures and vehicles on the site. Although you can always put a historical twist on any of the themes.

Sabotage, sniping, disguises, prisoner snatch, ambushes, assassinations, etc. Show your sneakiest troops doing what they do best.


14-15 April 2012
Combat
There's a lot of photos of figures just standing around doing nothing. These are action figures, let's see some action!


21-22 April 2012
Aftermath
The battle is over, it's time to tend to the wounded, collect the dead, interrogate prisoners, relax and thank god you're alive… Show the aftermath of a battle won or lost.


28-29 April 2012
Accessories
Let's see some closeups of your favorite accessories in use.

I love the fact that we're bringing these back. This is something I missed very much. Looking forward to this weekends theme! :)

After a year or so away from Joedios I'm just getting back into taking/posting pice but I remember WW as a great idea to make you think of new things!! Anyway I have a few ideas for future themes... (some have been done before)

Secondary Specialities - characters using their secondary speciality

Song titles - a pic based on the title of a song.

SFX - a pic with some special effects in - could be digital (photoshop etc) or real - lighting, fire, etc!)

Unlikely Allies - sometimes the enemy of your enemy is your friend!

Crossovers - always a good one!

Wildlife - a shot featuring animals (could be accessories like "Polly" or "Junkyard" or real animals (people's pets etc)

Historic photos - recreate an historical photo using figures (for eg a photo of WW2 troops recreated with Cobra troopers or Joes in identical poses)

Oops! - a photo of things going wrong (from the silly to the deadly!)

Hope at least some of those ideas make sense and are of use!! ;)
Cheers

New theme suggested by Ned Drok.

5-6 May 2012
Wildlife
Some of the Joe animals are as famous their human counterparts, it's time they got the spotlight. What other animal figures do you use with your Joes? Lions and tigers and bears, oh my!

New theme inspired by Ned Drok's "Secondary Specialities" submission, expanded a little.

Submit your ideas for Weekend Warriors themes in this thread. Make sure they're open enough that anyone can participate.


12-13 May 2012
Filecards
Create a photo inspired by a character's filecard. Portray their personality, show them preforming one of their specialties, or recreate a story. (You can view filecards on yojoe.com.)
