Well, it seems I failed my goal in IP3, namely to stay on until round 2! (I had, honestly, little hope about staying longer against all the superb painters around here!)

But I joined mainly because I liked the idea and format of the competition, and because this is a nice forum (even though I have only browsed anonymously earlier).
So, I thought I'd still hang on, for the fun of it, without participating. Getting a theme and having a deadline spurs me on (something I sorely need).

And everybody else who wants to join in are of course more than welcome, that'd be real fun!

So, I'll be starting my mini for round 2 - Paint it black! today, and hopefully have a WIP picture up soon!

Good idea and a great spirit over the competition. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

Wanted to do this, but actually having a place to post said picture will get me to paint for certain...

Good!


And very nice to see that someone else is joining in, Xenon_Wulf! (and someone I recognize from RPG.net and the Rackham forums, too! Hi!)


I suppose we'll lay off the smack talk, here. It hardly behoves us loosers. ;)


Personally I'm also planning on being a little more lax with the deadlines. I ended up with just two hours to base and take pictures of my entry, which was a little stressful.

I know the feeling - I ended up with a single hour to take pictures.

I've been trying to take better pictures since...

Once you have sussed a good photo setup its really quick. I can photograph a mini and get it online within 10mins, just by having a preset steeing on the camera and a workflow which i just drag and drop the mini. The workflow relightens crops and shrinks the pic automatically then opens photoshop. All I need to do is stitch the photos together.

Well, here's a little something I'm working on to match the round 2 theme, seeing that those who are still in the competetion are not posting any WIPs!

I've hit a bit of a snag as the material I wanted to use didn't work out as well as I thought.

The WIP picture isn't working for me Henrix, would be cool to see what you have come up with though.

Is anyone else taking part in this or just Xenon-wolf and Henrix?

(I also like the way you have named this the 'rejected' gallery and not the 'Losers' gallery!)

The WIP should work now.

It seems I will have a hard time managing the deadline (and I don't think I'll push myself, seeing that I'm already out), as there is a large gaming convention here this weekend.

It seems there's just me and Xenonwulf here right now, but perhaps there'll be more of us in a couple of days ;)

Here's another little WIP, the same thing as before, but a little more done.
