Congratulations to each and every one of you! If you see your name above, please send a PM to Frustrated Father (http://wyrd-games.net/private.php?do=newpm&u=1) or the e-mail here on the site and give me your address and all the details that I need for shipping your package. Even if you think that I already have this information, please send it. It helps me organize things on this end and confirms that your package is sent to your current address. Please be aware that I can not spend a grossly large amount of time in trying to contact folks who do not send their information to me as has been the case multiple times in past contests. If you want your goodies drop me a line.

The Wyrd Painting Contest prize packages are sent at my expense, and happily so, but as you can see above, there are quite a few packages to send out. In order to make this as cost effective as possible, I ship everything 'slow boat', meaning the cheapest cost. If you are interested in upgrading your package to priority or airmail for overseas, you are free to make a donation of $3USD to the shipping fund via paypal (nathan@wyrd-games.net). Keep in mind now, that this is COMPLETELY optional, this isn't a 'pad my pockets' scheme, its just available for those of you that want your goodies quicker. Either way, I will be sending out your package at my cost. If your package has any of those in it and you want faster shipping, I will let you know and we'll make arrangements.

Wyrd Miniatures also extends a very large thanks to our prize sponsors who have gone out of their way to help this happen and to get some goodies to you. You can find their banners, and the links to their sites, to the left. Please take the time to visit their sites and to also let them know how much you appreciate their sponsorhip! It helps hearing 'thank you' from participants to sponsorers more than you can possibly believe.

Till next time!

Sure you can, galleries are still moderated, I just put through your comments.

[cdukino]

Great entries once more. They were a pleasure to look through. Thank you all for voting on my entries in such great numbers. I'm still shocked... but happy :D My dryad might not have been the best painted one skill wise in the Rotten Harvest competition. So i'm guessing the scene and idea apparently appealed to a lot of you (which I was hoping for). I';m very happy my entries did so well. I had a truckload of fun making the diorama's.

[Jabberwocky]

Congrats to everyone that won! It was a very good contest. I thoroughly enjoyed entering and got some great feedback (which was my main reason for entering--I knew I did have a ghost's chance :) of winning anything. I'll be back...and the random schmuck or voting schmuck or completely wyrd schmuck prize will be mine, LOL!

[flynn]

Thanks to everyone for the great contest. Lots of really nice entries, and that Witches & Warlocks competition was very close. Two votes separating first and third in that one?

Thanks to all who commented and/or voted on my entries. I was pretty sure I had a chance to place with my Pixie Trickster, but didn't expect to come out of this contest with two firsts.

:-)

[Coneman]

Congratulations to all the winners. Well Done
Thanks you to everyone who left feed back on my entries, some helpfull comments for me to use to improve my painting so next time I may do better.

A random Shmuck prize is more than I had hoped for. Cheerin

[Vhaidra]

Congrats to all the winners and also to the ones who couldn't get one of the first 3 places, it was great contest and I enjoyed looking up all that great minis.

[Duende]

Congratulations to everybody and especially Cindy for cleaning up like she did. There were so many great entries, no wonder there were some close ones. I hope you all come back for the next contest!

And thanks to everyone who commented on my entry (the NQDY Wyrd Apparations "There's something Alive on you!" entry) and to whoever gave me a vote in the best in Show poll (I didn't even vote on my own in there, I was surprised somebody did!)

I always thought I was kinda strange, nice to know I'm actually Completely Wryd!

:D

Now posted it over at CMON: http://www.coolminiornot.com/139565

[Malebolgia]

w000t! Holland FTW :D
Congratulations to all the winners and especially to Cindy for dominating the contest.

[Hinton]

Congrats to all the winners. There were a lot of great entries and definitely some inspiring minis in this.

A round of applause for all the entrants.

[Stupidcow]

Thanks for all the votes & comments given by the fine people here on my entry, staff of Wyrd & all the sponsors for putting up this great contest. A big congrats to Cdukino for being the overall BIG winner of this event.

[Ritual]

Congrats to Cindy and all the other winners! I'm really happy to get a bronze out of this since my entry was a panic-driven paintjob (did most of the painting the two final nights and basically painted through the whole night on the last day befor deadline... :tired: ). I didn't think it would do to well. Thanks to all who voted on it! :)

I'm sorry that I was unable to do any commenting as I usually do! Hopefully I can remedy that next time!

[Duende]

I'm sorry that I was unable to do any commenting as I usually do! Hopefully I can remedy that next time!

Just because the contest is over doesn't mean you can't comment anymore. Maybe some people around here would still be interested in your input about their entry. The only difference is now you know who painted what.

Whatcha waitin' for? Get to it! :damnmate:

[Ritual]

Of course I could, but I don't think that many people would read it anymore, since the competition is over. Some might notice that they have gotten new comments, but many probably wouldn't and, thus, the incentive to comment is not that high anymore.

[james sequeira]

Some very cool entrys, not sure on the warcasters though.

[supervike]

Excellent contest! Congrats to Cindy...its such a fun surprise to find out who painted what....almost as fun as finding out the winners!

Well done all...

well done Nathan and Maya!

[Duende]

Ritual- Just comment on mine then, I still check it (NQDY #9). ;)

In fact, with all the newbies here that weren't here for some of the older contests, they should go check out the galleries of the past competitions and leave comments in those poor gallleries that don't have any, like the Wereshark Gallery (http://wyrd-games.net/gallery/browseimages.php?c=5) or the first Total Testosterone (http://wyrd-games.net/gallery/browseimages.php?c=6) which were done when comments were still emailed in. I think it's kinda cool to go back and see how some people's styles have changed and skills improved over time. ....Buuuut, maybe that's just me. But it's an idea for people new to here- Go look the older stuff!

:idea:

[JakubT]

congratulations to all participants. there were some great and inspiring works.

[pete-h]

I'd like to say thanks to everyone who left a comment on my entry and also thanks to people who voted for it. I was gobsmacked that it finished in the top 3 especially considering the other entries.

Final thanks must go to Nathan for running the contest and everyone else who helped out. Cheers.

[wiccanpony]

Congratulations to Cindy and everyone who entered.

{{hugs}} and bows to Nathan for putting on these contests.

by the way 'where's my cookie"?

[demonherald]

cheers all and congrats cindy..

I agree with Supervike it was very interesting to see who painted what.

Happy I got a second in Bump considering the lateness of painting and the fact I suck with a camera..

Some really eally cool stuff and something I will be using as a reference in the future.

will be reposting some bigger pics of my entry and trying to respond to the very grtefully received comments I received.

Thanks again and I can't wait until the next..

Rob

[Duende]

@ wiccanpony - I'd like to add an addendum to my comment on your Bump#6 entry. .... Now that I know you painted it, I'm surprised 'something else' wasn't painted purple. :laugh:

Nice entry, I voted for it!
