Losers (including Stupid Cow) should please contact thier victors to arrange for the 'winners fee'. A miniature, or equivalent of 5 dollars (american) via paypal.

Also, losers, please PM me your addresses, and I will make sure you get a nice parting gift....(actually Valloa donated some great resin bases that will be your 'participation' prize.

A more detailed scoring breakdown will follow shortly, including the actual judges votes.

The eight contestants for round three will be randomly matched, and an all new exciting THEME ingredient will be announced, most likely later this evening or tommorow.

Thanks again all! You really have made this a fun contest, and I personally think its one of the best on the web.

[red]

Well done Beezlebrush, now I can get on and finish this bloody commission, thanks a lot and I enjoyed the comp a lot

[Duende]

Yay! Go Skya!!! And I don't feel too bad about the one you beat since they get to move on anyway. Maybe you'll get to trounce Stupidcow again next round! ;)

(just kidding, SC, you did great work too, but I gotta root on my favorite!)

:idea: Maybe for non-IPparticipants, we could start a betting pool? Then even the betters could smack-talk each other... LOL!

I love that idea!! We could bet miniatures!!

[mlavanish]

Congrats to all the winners. Nice job Sculpta the Squig. PM me your address so I can send you a mini. :)

This has been a fun contest. See you all again next IP Challenge!

[Malebolgia]

Congratulations winners! And to the losing posse: join the club! :D
A deserved winner by the way. Skya's piece just blew me away with originality, technical level and complexity. Fantastic stuff! My second facorite was Beelzebrush his Trollkin biker. Fantastic concept and love the freehand and NMM (and don't forget to post it on PP.com...thes guys will adore you ;)).

[DrEvilmonki]

Thats a shame, I was enjoying that. Congratulations to everyone that went through.
I will PM Lavon Yor for details and I will be watching further rounds.

[EricJ]

Don't worry DrEvilmonki, I have this feeling that there just might be another contest after this one is done. And there is that Wyrd Halloween contest too! :)

[DrEvilmonki]

Don't worry Eric, I have plenty of projects on my plate. Although that is a good point about the Haloween contest, I didn't think I would have time for that.

For anyone who is interested the reason I was a bit short of time was That I was finishing off my GD entry.

[EricJ]

oooooh, that's really nice! Which GD are you taking that one to?!

[DrEvilmonki]

GD Oz. Because of the round robin way they do GD down here on the arse of the planet everything is very drawn out. I got past first cut 2 weeks ago and find out if I get through second cut tomorrow. If I do then it gets shipped to Sydney for the finals in another two weeks!

[Ritual]

Good luck, Barry! It looks very nice! I especially like the turf on the base!

[supervike]

I love him! He looks real in a fantasy sort of way....

[DrEvilmonki]

Hey Jim check your PM's.

[Stupidcow]

"Skya you were lucky you got me this time but its not over yet, in fact it just started!":vb_devil:

Well done girl! You came up with a piece of work that is original and your level of skills makes it even more worthy of the win. I have no regrets coming 2nd to yours. Although its not ulltra smoothly blended in some areas but the rest seriously made up for it. I came up with a strong entry myself, but yours is really a breath of fresh air.

May we meet again, and be assured that I'll be losing some hair trying to outdo you. :laugh: Kindly PM me your address so I can stalk you...I mean send you the mini...& stalk you.

[supervike]

Closest Competition!

War Griffon edges out James9487 by a measly .5! Every point really counts here.
Lavon Yor squeaked by Dr. Evil Monki by 3.



Incredible Matchup...

Stupid Cow vs Skya netted an amazing 110.5 points. Had Stupid Cow faced ANY other competitor, he would have won. (stupid cow does advance though)

Not So Close...

Wren dominated Hoblit by 22
Maestro took apart Matty1001 by 21 (thats twice Maestro has won by 21+ points!!)

Much Improved!

Hoblit improved on his 1st round score by 10 points. Way to go!
Sculpta the Squig also improved by 10, and very quietly has popped into the third round! Impressive!

Way to compete!

Matty1001 had too much real life stuff going on, but still put up a pic in the gallery. Way to go Matthew!

Will Skya continue to find her stride? Can someone stop her? Will she retain the crown?

Will Maestro continue his march so easily? 22 pt victory in the 1st round, 21 in the 2nd.

Can Stupid Cow get his revenge with his 'Give me another chance" prize?

Will Sculpta The Squig improve by yet another 10 points?

Will Frustrated Father be the first or last to get his votes in?

Is Dr. EvilMonki and Weenie considered interchangeable terms?

All this and MUCH MUCH more in the third round of THE IRON PAINTER!!!!

[Ritual]

All this and MUCH MUCH more in the third round of THE IRON PAINTER!!!!

What a cliffhanger!! :D

Please feel free to double check my math. Or make any corrections you see. I try my best not to make mistakes, but I am human (contrary to popular belief).

Anyhow, I will make full amends for any mistake, and fix what is wrong.

New Matchups and Theme to be announced soon!!

[Skya]

"Skya you were lucky you got me this time but its not over yet, in fact it just started!":vb_devil:

Well done girl! You came up with a piece of work that is original and your level of skills makes it even more worthy of the win. I have no regrets coming 2nd to yours. Although its not ulltra smoothly blended in some areas but the rest seriously made up for it. I came up with a strong entry myself, but yours is really a breath of fresh air.

May we meet again, and be assured that I'll be losing some hair trying to outdo you. :laugh: Kindly PM me your address so I can stalk you...I mean send you the mini...& stalk you.


I look forward to meeting again on the field of battle, Sir. A most worthy opponent.

[vincegamer]

Ok, here is some more detailed facts about ROUND 2...
Incredible Matchup...

Stupid Cow vs Skya netted an amazing 110.5 points. Had Stupid Cow faced ANY other competitor, he would have won. (stupid cow does advance though)This is why the extra shot is a good thing. Stupid cow deserved to move on even though he didn't win his particular match up.

[Wren]

Congrats everyone, and thanks for another memorable and educational round! I'm still planning to do comments on all the entries, I've just been a little scattered lately.

DrEvilMonki, I think your GD entry looks superb, good luck in the contest!
