Hello everyone! Welcome to the thread for the first Monthly Painting Challenge of the new year!
Rules
1. A miniature is decided upon before each monthly painting challenge, this months' being Buhrdur. It is not required that you paint this mini, however it is preferred. Here is a list of miniatures you can paint for this months' painting challenge, in order of preference:
* Buhrdur
* Cave Troll
* Isengard/Mordor Troll
2. To enter the painting challenge, the miniature you are painting must not be painted before starting and picture proof must be shown of the miniature 'pre-painted' (unprimed, undercoated or if you are repainting and old miniature - in its' original paint scheme).
3. You may join the painting challenge in progress at any time, but must submit photographs of the completed miniature by midnight GMT of February 28th, 2011. WIP images are welcomed and encouraged.
4. Miniatures that are completed in time will be eligible to win the challenge. The challenge winner will be decided by the vote of the OR community. The community will choose one winner and one runner-up from the completed miniatures. Votes should be cast not simply on painting skill, but on merit, including creativity, application of painting techniques, artist improvement, etc. In previous painting challenges, the winner and runner-up recieved prizes in the form of gold coins, however with the websites current situation, gold coins are not available to give as prizes, so no prize is available at the moment.
5. Winners from the previous month are able to participate in the next months painting challenge, but they are not eligible to win in consecutive months.
Good luck, I'm looking forward to seeing these trolls!
PS - Thanks to Erunion and MacGothmog, the previous runners of this feature.
