Lookin good, thanks for entering. You have 5 more before the 15th, hope to see some more.

Make sure you post on Instagram as well, under hashtag #toyarkdc - your entries need to be in both places in order to be eligible to win.

Also, to embed here, you have to right click on actual image, and choose to "copy image location" or equivalent wording in your browser. Then paste that here inbetween the IMG tags.

later!

Chalana87 - You are attempting to put a url to a full page on deviant art inside tags meant to stream an image. It won't show up. You have to get the full url to the actual image by itself, and then use that here.

Also posting this again for others who may have a problem later.

Just curious, does the image have to be embedded for it to count? Because otherwise I've just wasted a bit of time here. Either way, 6 posts are at least visible under the hashtag on Instagram, and I've posted the urls on the forum, so I should be square, correct?

Jake huff · 08-07-2013, 01:05 PM

And this is my 7th and final.

Hey Jake,

I will fix your entries, so they count. However, for future reference on forums, or, for anyone else reading that may have the same issue, see the images below:

Go to your own profile on Instagram.com via your regular computer/laptop/browser.

Find your image you want to show here.

Right click on the image, choose "view background image"

That should open the image in a new tab/window. The url in the browser bar should now be a direct link to your image.

Tony thank you for the help! I'm sorry but this was the first posting as a forum member, been on this site for years though and decided I wanted to try my hand

Tony_Bacala · 08-07-2013, 02:43 PM

Cool Jake, no problem. We have IG folks who don't use forums, forum folks who don't use IG, and other folks who use neither. There's bound to be some technical issues with all that

Here is my entry! I always try to avoid the instagram filters and use practical lighting on my figures when shooting them

PintelGuy · 08-07-2013, 09:21 PM

Hope this works!

Just the figures themselves have to be DC or does that include even diorama pieces from other toys?

Anyway, here's one of mine
