My Entry for the prestigious MOs, round one, category Surfing U.S.A.

About this creation

I must say that this has been a bit of a tough build. Firstly, because the day before the MOs started my grandfather died, so it was a bit tough actually thinking about this. Secondly my first thought was to use the dark of the moon category, having never heard the song I looked it up on YouTube. This was a mistake as it made me even more depressed then I already was. After another day I decided to go with the category Surfing U.S.A. My build is what I always think of when I hear this song, not sure why this is what I think of, but it was good to distract myself. So without further ado (of jokes as I'm pretty sure at least three of the judges are American) I present my entry.

Simply put he's surfing a big wave cresting over the water, with the water being in the shape of the U.S.A. The white "foam" is supposed to be the icy wilds of Canadia. Hahaha I'm just joking it's actually quite nice up here in Canada, we only had a foot of snow today!

Unfortunately I lost the legs and torso from the surfer dude. Personally I think the Tarzan torso is better because of the tooth necklace. I like the pharaohs legs for the swimsuit. Honestly if I could find a swimsuit with an Egyptian design I would buy it.

Thank you all for spending the time to read this, don't know if you can tell but I'm bad at write ups.
