[P] July Challenge "The Forces of Good"

Dead Marsh Spectre · **Posted:** Tue Jul 01, 2014 6:27 pm

This is a single miniature challenge

1. To enter the painting challenge, the miniature you plan to enter must not be painted before the challenge commences on July 1st 2014 and picture proof must be shown of the miniatures 'pre-painted' (unprimed, undercoated or if you are repainting and old miniature - in its' original paint scheme) otherwise your entry will not be eligible. Proof pictures should ideally be taken against the title of this post.

2. You may join the painting challenge in progress at any time, but must submit photographs of the completed miniature by midnight GMT of July 31st 2014. WIP images are welcomed and encouraged. A maximum of 4 photos please, this allows you to show your miniature off from front, back and each side which is more than enough. If you would like to compile more than one pictures into one file it is ok to do that

3. 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. There is no prize available for the winners of this challenge, the challenge is solely for community participation and as an incentive for people to reduce their backlog and improve their painting skills.

4. 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 to all!

Where do i go to find information about submitting work?

Dead Marsh Spectre · **Posted:** Tue Jul 01, 2014 7:29 pm

Hi - your proof pictures, any work in progress pictures and completed model pictures can be posted in this thread and i will gather all eligible entries at the end of the month and put together a voting thread. Hope this answers your question.

Jdizzy - unfortunately as your Strider model was started and completed before the challenge start date of July 1st 2014 it is not eligible to enter in this particular challenge. All the information re. the current challenge is in the first post in this thread.
Great work on Strider tho buddy.

Dang, I was afraid of that, i was hoping since he was finished 30 min before july started he might slip under the radar. Oh well, I'll just besure to take some pics of my current project.

@ bofur, sorry, it is a glorfindil as well.

Does it have to be a hero, or just any single good model?

DwarfWarrior · **Posted:** Tue Jul 01, 2014 9:50 pm

I was thinking a mirkwood ranger as i just got a box today

Dead Marsh Spectre · **Posted:** Tue Jul 01, 2014 10:54 pm

It does not have to be a hero.

SWEET! Look who got undercoated today ready for painting tomorrow! Good choice of theme Kev!

Time to try and put that Vomit Brown tip to good use!

Great to be back in a painting challenge, had to sit the last 4 out due to real life/painting the wrong stuff - starting to paint at the start of the month? This is just unheard of for me!

After Beorn I'm also planning on working on some more converted dwarves so I might even have a choice of entires - literally incredible! :-D

Good luck all!

I haven't entered one of these for ages either. If Dr Grant is making a comeback I think I will too!

Now I just have to pick which one....

SidTheSloth · **Posted:** Wed Jul 02, 2014 7:06 am

I CANNOT wait to see Beorn. I have one too, and beads of sweat roll down my forehead every time I think to start painting it lmao.

Maybe I should join this competition for the first time ever. But, alas, I suck.....

Alright before I enter, I have a question....I find it very boring to just paint.....

What Id like to do is have a good warrior, and an evil facing off in a manner together. The emphasis on the good warrior because he will clearly have won the battle.

I got some new minis from the Hobbit and Id like to do one of them....Is this alright?

Ive already started taking my proof pictures.
