OOh errr sorry been a little busy and didn't realise this had not been set up already. Apologies.
Welcome to the January 2015 Painting Challenge. The topic this month is
THE BATTLE OF THE FIVE ARMIES This month will be a single miniature challenge and is open to anything at all from the Battle of five armies. Only one model can be submitted for the vote.
1. 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) 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 January 31st 2015. WIP images are welcomed and encouraged. A maximum of 4 photos of your completed entry 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
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. Any problems PM me.
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!
