"Detective Chimp"

Never read a DC "novel" with "Detective Chimp" in it but I'm dying to read one.
I made this "cut-out" from an "image" from "Injustice". That is one "storyline" that I want to get into.

"Preparation"

I learnt from participating in the WCT that preparation is key to success.
Here I have "47" preparing for a "job". I layed out all the "equipment" available to him in the "Hitman" series except his "Silver Ballers" and "Fibre Wire".

"Thank you"

Pretty much my version of a "Thank you" speech. My thanks to "God" for sure because I went from almost not joining the WCT to being ranked #10 in the world. Big "shout out" to "Jeremy Lee" and "Bill Maru" for their help. I wouldn't have entered or gotten through all 3 rounds without encouragement from "Day", "Muhammad", "Mr Bacon", "Derrick Borecky" and "Kirby Pags". Not forgetting to thank the judges ("Boog", "Pharaoh", "Slings", "John Connor" and "Todd") for their time and effort during the entire tournament. Keep grinding!!!

"Bang... Bang... #10 in the world..."

The A.C.B.A. WCT 2015 results were finally released today. I came in #10 in the world which is quite an accomplishment for me considering that I was "knocked out" in the first round of the 2014 edition. I was happy yet disappointed at the same time because I was hoping to come in 5th.
I am not sure if I will be participating in the 2016 edition as the "tournament" really requires a lot of sacrifice.

"Clayface"

Was a little reluctant to make this "cut-out" when I was making a new batch because it is similar to the one I made for "Galactus".
You can't tell but it is actually "Bruce Wayne" being attacked by "Clayface".

"Office Politics"

Those who work in an "office" should be able to relate.
"Chaos" ensues when the "Boss" is not looking. Haha!!!

"Khalid Nassour"

Decided to use another "cut-out" I had of the "Khalid Nassour" of "Dr Fate". This was my second attempt and I finally got it right.
There's a reason "Jeremy" is the top 5 "artist" in last year's A.C.B.A. WCT. He pointed out how I could improve this display by turning "Constantine" away from the "camera" and it worked wonders.

"Dr Fate"

Seldom attempt "Multi-scale displays" or MSDs but I had to try for this specific "cut-out" I made.
This version of "Dr Fate" is the latest "champion" chosen by the "Helmet of Nabu", "Khalid Nassour". I don't know much about him but I hope to read about him in the "novels" soon.

"Deadman" and "Constantine"

Been inspired to do a lot of "cut-out" work recently and this was one of those I made.
The original "cover art" had 2 "skeletons" but I replaced them with "Deadman". This version of "John Constantine" is different from how he's typically illustrated and it is interesting.

"Helmet of Fate"

Stumbled across a "cover art" featuring the "Helmet of Fate" with "John Constantine's" reflection on it and I knew I had to make a "cut-out" of it.
There was a "panel" with "John" donning the "Helmet" but I guess that will be for another time.

"The Spectre vs The Phantom Stranger"

This display was a pain to set up because of the weird shape of "The Spectre's" head. I had to angle the camera to squeeze the "cut-out" into the frame but I am happy with the result.
It seems that you need epic "cut-outs" now to garner any attention from the A.C.B.A. group.

"I shall become a bat..."

Display that I have wanted to do for ages but finally had the right props to execute it. I used a "bust" of "The Terminator" for this "Batman: Year Zero" inspired display.
I love "Origins" storylines.
