Iron Painter ROUND 3 matchups and Theme [Archive]

Well folks, here we go for our next round....

The RULES are still here:

http://www.wyrd-games.net/showthread.php?t=1173

The only changes are the DEADLINE, which is

SATURDAY NOVEMBER 4th, 6 PM Central Standard Time (iowa time look it up!)

The Matchups are as Follows:

These were RANDOMLY drawn (all names in a hat) and paired as follows....

Lavon Yor vs. War Griffon

Sculpta the Squig vs. Stupid Cow

Wren vs. Skya

Maestro vs. Beezlebrush

And now for the theme.

I had 15 themes that I assigned numbers to (1-15) and used this to randomly generate a number http://www.random.org/nform.html

It chose number 8, which turns out to be.....

(drum roll)

MAGIC EFFECTS!

Again how you interpret this is up to you. It could be the lightning bolt of a wizards staff, a plasma recoil of a bolter rifle, smoke from a dragons nose...whatever you decide. Just remember the judges interpret the theme as well....PLEASE THE JUDGES!! LOL

No limit to miniature (anything less that 1:1 scale works for me) No limit to manufacturer....it just has to be a newly painted mini and has to be uploaded by the deadline.

The Third ROUND of the 2nd Season of IRON PAINTER, begins....

NOW

Too late Lavron, it's already been done! SEE? (http://www.coolminiornot.com/6615)

Nice try! ;)

Oh no! Now you really suck!!! I had something planned for this theme.
I am going to be crying myself to sleep tonight! :laugh:

10-19-2006, 08:26 PM

Thats a hard theme IMO, i think photoshop may of been helping a bit for me if i was still in! Well Meastro best of luck since you beat me!

LavronYor

10-19-2006, 08:46 PM

Monki, pm me your idea, and I will give you credit when I win.

I do have an idea I was planning to do & now is a good time to put my thoughts into action. Squiggy here I come...

Maestro

10-20-2006, 02:46 AM

Oh my god.. This was supposed to be a competition!!!

Why are you making it so dang easy for me??? :D

Skya

10-20-2006, 04:07 AM

Ah, playing to my strengths. Sweet.

(Reminds herself not to get complacent given Wren's solid showing last round.)

callumrice

10-20-2006, 06:06 AM

This is actually entertaining for the losers of previous rounds as well, wish I was still in though! Cant wait for the next one.

Good luck to all still involved, Im routing for stupidcow, the comeback king! *waves his flag and dances around the terraces*

I believe that the magic effect has to be done with painting and converting. I doubt adding grafical effects on the picture itself with photoshop is allowed. Has nothing to do with actually making the miniature acording to the theme. If this is what you ment in the first place.

Ritual

10-20-2006, 06:50 AM

No, Photoshopping is not the way to please the judges! :hmpf:

Maestro

10-20-2006, 07:24 AM

Hmmmm, that's a pretty nifty idea... I wonder if they'll notice.... *ponder, ponder*

vincegamer

10-20-2006, 07:54 AM

I' know what I'd do if I were still in. Something I've been meaning to get around to anyway.
Ah well, I still haven't finished my 1957 Chevy Impalla so it doesn't matter anyway.

cdukino

10-20-2006, 08:16 AM

I would have had a very nifty idea too. But I am not even in this round... heck not even in this Iron painter ;) I am extremely curious what people will come up with though.

Malebolgia

10-20-2006, 08:23 AM

I will be 'relocating' a certain miniature of mine to another southern part in Holland for this round...

the plot thickens and the suspense is growing...

:flute: :listen: :privateey

supervike

10-20-2006, 09:20 AM

There are some fantastic matchups in this round. I was hoping for another Stupid Cow vs. Skya, but it was not to be (although who knows what the future holds!!)

Wren

10-20-2006, 10:46 AM

Ah, playing to my strengths. Sweet.

(Reminds herself not to get complacent given Wren's solid showing last round.)

Oh, go ahead and get complacent, you're the acknowledged belle of this ball and without even considering painting skill, far outstrip me in creativity. I saw the writing on the wall as soon as I read the matchups and the theme. :-> This should be an interesting round, I'm already looking forward to seeing what everyone comes up with!

Stupidcow

Come on Wren! Don't sell yourself short at all. You are no slouch at painting or creativity!

Of course maybe you are using the infamous 'wren's rope a dope, to lull skya into sleepwalking through this round....'

BRILLIANT!!

Maestro

10-20-2006, 12:26 PM

Oi!! Stupidcow, Callumrice! Stop dancing!! You've got no right to be dancing or do anything but lick your wounds..!

Supervike, tell them, tell them!!!!

vincegamer

10-20-2006, 12:36 PM

WarGriffon is 4.5 total points behind LevonYor, but I think he can make up the difference on this round.

Wren

Shhh! It won't work if you give my plan away! ;->

LavronYor

10-20-2006, 05:24 PM

Wargriffon can make up a lot of things. A winning entry won't be one of them.

I am eating nothing but Lucky Charms for the next two weeks, cause they are Magically delicious.

Actually Wargriffon, Vicegomer is right. You can relax and whip something up on November 3 and probably kick my keister, just like Vince and monki did.... NOT!

Malebolgia

10-20-2006, 06:22 PM

So your farts are magical...? Okay...if that helps you paint magical effects...:D

LavronYor

10-20-2006, 08:11 PM

Well, let's see, I tell my kids to pull my magic finger and then....

Yep they are. Aren't yours?

Stupidcow

10-20-2006, 08:49 PM

Oi!! Stupidcow, Callumrice! Stop dancing!! You've got no right to be dancing or do anything but lick your wounds..!

Supervike, tell them, tell them!!!!
Ha worry about yourself. For all we know your quote next round might jolly well be " Maestro is a big girls blouse & a weenie :2: " :laugh:

[Continues to dance to the tune of They're taking the hobbits to Isengard.]

10-20-2006, 09:13 PM

Oh my, how the gloves have come off and the smack talk has really fired up!

Nicely done!

callumrice

10-23-2006, 06:06 AM

Sorry, got lost in the flow of my flailing techno arms to notice the smack talk from Maestro, the weenie. Haha, I aint been in this comp since the first round and still the smack talk keeps coming. Grand.

"Stupidcow wears a big girls blouse, but aint no weenie"
*hehehe*

LavronYor

10-24-2006, 02:33 PM

Let's see if I can provoke some smack from my current opponent as opposed to my past opponents.

I hope that War "Merv" Griffon sticks with the GW range since they are so universally loved. Since his first round was 40K and his second was fantasy, I guess the next round will be LOTR. Let's see, another tired old Magneto, uhhh I mean Gandalf or Count Dooku, oops, Saruman. WAIT, what about Rhadagast the Brown! Pull the handle and flush him down.

Actually, best of luck, WarGriffon....

Hoblit

Stupidcow

10-25-2006, 07:30 AM

I'm anxious to see what great ideas you weenies can come up with. I'll start the drum rolling by posting my WIP.

Maestro

10-25-2006, 10:25 AM

Wait a minute; are you still in this Supidcow?? How'd you manage that??

callumrice

10-25-2006, 11:29 AM

Where have you been Maestro??? The master of all painting, Stupidcow, got a by into this round due to the fact there would be an odd number of entries. He was the highest scoring loser of the last round.

Stupidcow is the champ in progress:cheers:

Skya

10-25-2006, 04:59 PM

Time to throw my support behind one of the contestants. Go Wren. You can do it.

Now, i just need to convince the tokoloshe to move continents and go after skrya's minis. where's that chicken when you need it.

You may not need those chickens. Picked myself up a nasty case of broncitis, we'll see how much time I actually have for this one. Painting while hacking up a lung is not the easiest thing in the world. Though I suppose I could just spend this week getting better, and spend way too much time next week working on paint. ;)

Malebolgia

10-25-2006, 05:29 PM

Go Skya go! You've earned my support after round 1 and 2. Definitely my favorite.

*dons his big girl's blouse, picks up his pompoms and dances around*
We have a S...We have a K...We have a Y...We have an A...S-K-Y-A
SKYA!

Wren

10-25-2006, 06:01 PM

Sorry to hear you picked up a bug, Skya. :-< Don't expect me to pull back on my show stopping entry out of pity, but maybe we could take Hoblit's chicken and make you some soup. Or maybe if I threaten to make soup out of Malebolgia he'll join my cheering squad instead. ;-> Hope you feel better soon!

Malebolgia

10-26-2006, 03:24 AM

[homer voice]
Hmmmmmmmm......soup....
[/homer voice]

Skya

10-26-2006, 04:57 AM

Indeed, yay soup! My mother made me some excellent soup that's been keeping me going. I'm getting better, and I had Kat primer the pieces for me (cant handle the fumes still) so it looks like you'll have some competition after all, Wren.

(*still trying to decide which type of soup Mal is Homering....*
*disturbed shudder*)

Wren

10-26-2006, 10:35 AM

Hmm, I agree, disturbing. Uh, I think you can keep him on your cheering squad after all, Skya! ;-> I'm glad to hear you're feeling better, although I never doubted about the competition. For one thing, I'm foolishly clinging to the dream that I can manage something for Rotten Harvest AND this, so all I've got done is concept, some prep and a few other odds and sods, full on painting time has been going into something else.

Skya

10-29-2006, 03:32 PM

Come people, it's been a week and we only have three work in progress pics! For heavens sake, I've had broncitis and I still got one up.

Malebolgia

10-29-2006, 05:51 PM

I have seen John's piece today...and by that I mean his miniature one...*giggle*

Maestro

10-30-2006, 02:56 AM

Oi, and you've seen my entry aswell!!! :D

Malebolgia

10-30-2006, 05:17 AM

But you kiss like a girl! :D

Maestro

10-30-2006, 08:35 AM

Ofcourse I do; they like it that way...

cdukino

10-30-2006, 08:53 AM

But you kiss like a girl! :D

Hmmm... makes me wonder how exactly you got that information and knowledge... On second thought... i don't want to know ...

Entries looking good so far.

I know I'm out of this and shouldn't be joining in the smack talk anymore, but...

Which one is John and which is Malebolgia?

LOL Hilarious!!!

Smack talk is encouraged, even from us sideliners!!!:kiss:

Maestro

10-30-2006, 10:20 AM

I'm probably both the Chimps kissing all the gals, while Malebolgia is the 2 guys that get sent away just before the kissing starts...

You didn't see John and me licking each other's cheeks off yesterday at the Brushmaster 2006 prize anouncement? You must have been jumping around after winning the 'Single Miniature' then ;)

And you kiss like a monkey Cindy ;)

Ack! I've only just started mine... just waiting for the GS to set then I can prime it. Not too concerned yet though as I've seen Maestro's WIP :D

... actually, I might leave it a couple more days just to give him a chance.

Nice green hand though ... it's gonna match the colour of your envy when I kick yo ass :bandit:

Maestro

11-01-2006, 09:24 AM

Woohoo! The 'lets post a crappy pic' tactic works!! Although it IS very hard to make one of MY models look bad..!

Luckily, with my photography-fu and photoshop-fu, I managed to pull it off without too much trouble...

LavronYor

11-01-2006, 10:27 AM

Uh oh, he said the PH word.

Sticking your hand into a key lime pie is not a magical effect.

11-02-2006, 06:44 PM

But what if it's cherry pie instead?

11-02-2006, 08:52 PM

Good stuff.

Oh and I was going to say in the other thread, but since I'm hear, feel free to post ya'lls wips here and smack talk - bandwidth isn't that much of an issue - least till I get changes made that make everything snickersnack perfect.

Nathan, did you pick up a vorpal keyboard somewhere?

and if bandwidth isn't a problem, then why did I get a "mailbox is full" message?

Frustrated Father

11-03-2006, 01:34 AM

Which mailbox? PM or nathan@wyrd-games.net?

If it is the e-mail, then no clue, but that shouldn't happen and I haven't had any issues of late that I know of. If its the PM, mine, or yours? I'm setup for 100 PM's on my end (I could make it unending, but frankly, I check them daily and delete most of them after a reply, every now and again though I manage to get a ton of PM's or am gone for a couple of days) and regular smoes get ... 50-100 ... hell I don't remember.

For PM's it is more about the database keeping track of it then bandwidth.

flynn

11-03-2006, 02:28 AM

Heh. Snickersnack perfect. I like it.

Hey! Snickersnack is the name of one of my gnome rogue chicks in World of Warcraft.

Maestro

11-03-2006, 03:14 AM

Sticking your hand into a key lime pie is not a magical effect.Jealous because he took the pie from you Granny?? You don't even want to know what he did to it before fisting it!!

I'll give you a hint though; 'American'.

callumrice

11-03-2006, 05:29 AM

Nice. I thought he had lime pie on his hands after shovving it into your face Maestro! Hehehehe

Stupidcow stupidcow hes the winner, Maestros model looks like a minger!

Maestro

11-03-2006, 05:43 AM

Iiieeeuw... Not after what he's done to it! With all the creamy filling et all.. :D

And what's a minger?? From the context I'd say its something really good, perfection personified... Or something like that... :s

+edit+
Oh, and Malebolgia supplied the mini...

+edit no.2+
Unpainted...

Ritual

11-03-2006, 07:54 AM

I did my comment on Maestro's mini, but due to the moderation it's not visible yet.

Here's a shortened version of it, though:

Theme: Crap!
Technique: Crap!
Overall: You suck!

:p:

Sorry, just had to try this smack talk thing out since it seems so much fun... :) You have to wait for the real comment, John, until it's been moderated.

Stupidcow

11-03-2006, 08:01 AM

Well so far none of the WIPs looked good enough when compared to mine so I'll prolly go easy and not win this by too much. I'm looking forward to see what others have done for the rotten harvest. This one's too boring.

Maestro

11-03-2006, 08:15 AM

God, I wish I were you, Stupidcow....
I'd LOVE to know what ignorance feels like...

I'm sure you are actually going through it now without even knowing it. That's really really sad. Ritual did drop you a hint there but alas...

I just uploaded my pic. Pheew that felt good. Been down with the flu and slacking away the previous week due to the bloody haze from the forest fires in Indonesia. PSI levels are up 140+ back then. Good thing its clearing up now.

I have succsessfully uploaded mine. I have a story to go with wich I will post in a comment as the uploading would not allow me to write more than 800 letters.

Wren

11-04-2006, 06:38 PM

I've just uploaded mine. I've possibly uploaded it twice, as I got a page not found error the first time I tried. Please delete the excess one if that's the case. Whew. I'll come write more and comment and all of that after refueling and relaxing. Good luck all!

Nice work Wren... I really like yours :) GL!

Stupidcow

11-04-2006, 10:33 PM

Looks like we are missing 1 entry this time. I noticed most of us have used OSL to create spell effects. I was expecting something different at least like Skya's from the others. I had a project planned out and so I took this oppotunity to paint it up. In fact I would have done something w/o the use of OSL if not for that. Here's something I did few years back.

Thanks Beelzebrush! I'm pretty impressed with all the entries, and yours is very nice, with scupting as well as painted effects, very cool!

That's pretty neat SC, get some decent pictures done up of that and show it off properly.

Very impressed with the quality of the entries this time around. Judges, you can do your thang...and send me the votes by Wed. or Thursday of next week.

I am unfortunately out of town all next week, but I'll do my best to get the winners announced, scoring results, and the next them going.

Thanks ALL.

NOTE...Several of you have sent me addresses for the 'participation' prizes....I have not forgotten them, and I apologize profusely that they are not yet sent. Just bear with me, please, they are coming.

I'm kind of bummed that WArgriffon did the no show. I guess that real life must have intruded. I had hoped to win fair and square.

Ritual

11-06-2006, 10:56 AM

If I remember correctly, Wargriffon said from the beginning that he wouldn't be able to do the full run because he was going out to sea.

callumrice

11-06-2006, 02:02 PM

Ill tell you what Lavronyor, your entry is really cool. I think even if he did enter you would be through. Its my fav of the round and I feel your best in the tourney to date. Good job.

KitKat

11-06-2006, 03:48 PM

I'm getting better, and I had Kat primer the pieces for me (cant handle the fumes still) ...

Eep! Hopefully assistant-primering is allowed! I don't want to get you disqualified from two Wyrd competitions!

*looks hopefully at Nathan*

Skya

11-06-2006, 04:34 PM

I noticed most of us have used OSL to create spell effects. I was expecting something different at least like Skya's from the others.

Well... I used about half a Kilo of Greenstuff too on mine to create the swirly vortex thing... it's just painted to look bright :)

Yeah I have to admit with only the finger ray standing out as a new techinque to having gone a bit more traditional on this for one main reason. Between being sick and having a trip planned this weekend I only had a single week in which to do her. I *really* wanted to have time to do up her little ghoulie servants and experiment with making them into actual spell effects by using a monchrome blue techique on thier skin and hair. Was undecided on if I should do it on their clothes as well. We'll see as I do the rest of the set up over the next week. I think I shall create an in progress log over in the showcase section and if you're curious you can keep track of how she ends up. :)

supervike

11-06-2006, 07:19 PM

Wargriffon is out to sea, serving his country...Kudos for him!

Duty definately called for him....makes me cringe at excuses I've had at for not painting. lol

Good luck contestants!

DrEvilmonki

11-07-2006, 04:16 AM

Serving your country? Jeez what a piss poor excuse to not paint!
When I were a lad I used to kill 30 Jerries with the end of my brush while I was painting a figure! Anything less and they would shoot you for laziness!

LavronYor

11-07-2006, 09:37 AM

Thanks Callumrice, that makes me feel better. ( He's probably laughing his a$$ off)

BTW, Wargriffon is not a puffin is he, cause they go out to sea for 6 months. Well, I hope he stays safe, especially if he is in a dangerous line of work.

I've gone through and commented on the entries from this round, and also those from Round 2. Sorry for the big delay on that, just letting people know cause they probably aren't checking last round's for comments any more. Now on to the Rotten Harvest entries...
