Nick speaking,
When I heard that my local GW store was having a painting competition, I thought to myself, hell, why not. I have never entered a real painting competition before, only a couple via YouTube, but it is always hard to judge with just pictures, so for me they don't really count. There were two categories, large miniature and single miniature. I had my Avatar in the first category and was very happy to find out that it placed third, with the competition being tied in first place, I sort of got second! lol
I tried my reverse highlighted Shadow Spectre in the single miniature competition, but he failed to place. I was told that the standard was really high, and that there was a Golden Daemon painter there that also didn't place, so I can't really complain! Sadly I was working on the day of the competition, so I didn't get time to stay and see all the entries, overall all though, I found it exciting and won myself a voucher for the store to paint up a piece of terrain for me, so I was happy...

ReplyDeleteThanks very much mate, I was happy :)
ReplyDeleteThat must have been some painting comp for the Spectre to not even place!! So that makes the work you've done even more impressive on Avatar! :) Well done mate!
