Welcome to the Unofficial December Painting Challenge thread.
This month’s topic is:


Red Clothes

Image

NOTE - An unlimited number of models can be submit for the vote in this challenge. Go wild!


1. To enter the painting challenge, the miniature/s 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) otherwise your entry will not be eligible.

2. You may join the painting challenge in progress at any time, but must submit photographs of the completed miniature by midnight GMT of December 31st 2015. WIP images are welcomed and encouraged. A maximum of 8 photos of your completed entries please, this allows you to show your miniatures off from front, back and each side which is more than enough. If you would like to compile more than 8 pictures into one file it is ok to do that

Pictures of completed models must be submit using a third party hosting site such as photobucket or imageshack. Pictures submit by attachment will not be eligible for the vote.

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. 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. With the introduction of The League, Winners from the previous month are now eligible to enter and win consecutive challenges without penalty.

Good luck and have fun!


Please note that this challenge has not been approved by site Admins. I created this post for everyone to enjoy painting the same theme and compare the outcome in the end :)
Having fun is most important! And maybe we can get a voting poll at the end.
Almost all mini's can be painted wearing red clothes. If someone wants to enter Uruk-Hai because of their skin, please write an essay in the comments explaining how Uruks wear their skin as clothing :-D

Wow! Thanks for setting this up Baardeend!

Quick question, does red have to be the dominant clothing colour? Say I want to paint Theoden for instance, is his red undershirt enough?

Cheers,

I'd say any piece of red clothing will do, no matter how small :)
Theoden's undershirt would suffice

Ok thanks. I'll see if I can't give him a Christmas twist though. :)

Well done for doing this. Site admin have been noticeable by their absence of late. Although I'm too busy to enter I wanted to give you my nod of approval.

Yeah great idea. Well done for taking the initiative 8)
I doubt I'll get anything entered, mind but I concur with Mally. It's nice to see someone doing this and keeping things going.

Hope the admins are back soon...

Well done for setting this up. Real life is hard work at the moment but I am hoping to be back full time by new year. Apologies for the absence.

Yay! Welcome back Kev :)

Don't worry about it by the way. I've been real busy too and haven't been on the boards for ages till today. Time is sometimes very very hard to come by!

I have a question. Can I paint a dragon that has red skin? It's not clothes, but it's red. :-D If need be, I can add something to the base.

Thanks guys, and no problem. I had a few minutes to spare ;) I'm not even sure if I manage to participate myself... December always is a crazy busy month :-D

And admins, feel free to make the challenge official if you wish to :)

I don't think that's a problem! At the moment I am happy with any entry at all :P
