Congratulations to the one and only Aiden (AKA Maplemaster) for winning our Halloween contest! His winning entry, titled 'Nightmare' can be seen here: fav.me/d4cm8y7

I'll now do a quick review of it, just to sum up why it won the contest.

So this thing has a pretty unique look goin' on - I mean, it's so unique that it had me going 'what the hell is this...' the first time I saw it. But over time, the shape started to grow on me, and I began to appreciate more how well the pieces meshed together. The texture for the most part is quite consistent, and the trailing tentacles/eyebrows look great.
The use of the dino tail to create a curve in the body(?) is well done, and the incorporation of that Gadunka head makes me wish I had one myself.
The grave is probably the part that initially confused me the most, and it wasn't until halfway through reviewing the MOC with Aiden himself that I actually realised what it was. (Awkward :s) Nonetheless, it's a creative attempt at a mouldy tombstone, and the two clashing shades of grey just emphasise this vintage factor further.

Totally worthy of first place. Congratulations to Brendan (AKA Clockwork Tempest) for winning 2nd place with his Slender Man, and Johann (AKA Johann Dakitsch) for 3rd place with his Pestilence.
