The time for entry submission is over and now we move forward with the viewing and voting for the Total Testosterone III Wyrd Painting Contest.

Entries have been edited, placed in their proper categories and are now up for you to view and leave comments on.

The galleries will be up a full day before opening the polls so that if there are any mistakes or discrepancies, you can let us know before the voting begins. Hopefully there are none, but if you see something that needs to be rectified or if you have a question upon, please contact me privately.

When 24 hours has passed, we'll place the voting polls up and you will be able to vote for your favorite three in their respective categories. Keep in mind, in order to vote and/or comment in the galleries, you MUST have a user account here on Wyrd.

When leaving comments in the galleries, please remember to be constructive in any critique, good or bad, and remember your manners. The moderators and myself will be reading these as we go along - keep it constructive and if it is your own entry that you are commenting on, don't give yourself away over it as it would be a shame to disqualify you for something easily avoided.

When the polls are placed, they will be open for seven days. In that time, please take a moment to vote for your favorite three in each category. The top three in each category will win, respectively 1st place, 2nd place and 3rd place. Best of Show and Best Base or Diorama naturally only have one winner.

In order to encourage participation in the voting and commenting on the galleries, we will choose five RANDOM SCHMUCKS to win prizes for voting on all the categories and commenting on atleast HALF of the entries. I'll choose out two COMPLETELY WYRD SCHMUCKS from those that take the time to comment on ever entry in the galleries and send random prizes out as well.

Finally its up! Not an amazing number of entries but not too bad either.

[Coneman]

Some nice painting in this lot, well done everyone.

[Hinton]

Good luck to everyone!

[EricJ]

some nice work in there, good luck, I hope everyone gets all the prizes they could ever dream of!

[gi6ers]

Good luck to all concerned. I'm looking to improve on my record of one vote :)

[thecadian]

Cheers t oFF for running the contest

Cant wait to get voting!

[wiccanpony]

Is it just me, or does the quality of the painting in this particular TT seem outstanding, going to make voting hard this time around.

[Wristaction]

I'm with Gi6ers, getting two votes is what i'm after too. :pray:

[Thryth]

Thanks again FF for running another fun contest!

[Frustrated Father]

Much smaller turn out this time around I was sad to see but figure between Games Day, GenCon and a few other online contests out there that it ate into the submission time this time around. No worries though, I expect all of you to make it up to me in Rotten Harvest. :D

Seriously though, thank 'you' for entering and participating. It is very much appreciated.

Best of luck to everyone.

[Ritual]

I'm planning one entry, at least, for Rotten Harvest. :)

A big "THANK YOU" for running these contests.

If nothing else, I´m a regular contributor :bounce:

[Mosch]

*sigh*

Now let's see... where did I put my finger-smashing hammer...

[Hinton]

Well, Nathan, many thanks for running this and, speaking for myself, I'm happy to contribute, even if it is a small part.

As I've already said elsewhere, I've already started the preliminary work on my Rotten Harvest entry (since I wasn't around in time for the last one), so I hope to do well in that contest.

Of course, I also hope to be incredibly good-looking; so much for hoping, eh?

[matty1001]

Thanks Nathan from the Geordie of the group!

Whey Aye! Have a stottie!

[EldinTux]

And the west midlands want to say ar tanks very much!

You've gotta have the accent :)

[callumrice]

an al say ta frae the whole ae Scotland fur the fantastic competition yer runnin here.

Cheers Nath, its well worth the effort when you see the quality of the entries IMO.

[lizcam]

You are a saint and a really good man FF and thank you very much!

[lauth81]

Wow, finished commenting on every entry.

I noticed, that in the Monsters Ball category, the first entry doesn´t have a number ... maybe you should change that, FF, if it´s important for voting.

[gi6ers]

Oh, forgot to say thanks for everyone who has or is going to comment, I really appreciate it!

[Thryth]

I finally finished commenting on them all. Now just waiting for the polls to open. This and the arcade is seriously cutting into my painting time! :)

[Stupidcow]

Did my comment thingy on ALL entries. This could be my only chance to win any prize hehe.

[Frustrated Father]

Polls are up and the main post has been edited with direct links.

[Hinton]

Good luck to everyone!

[Art-de-Vivre]

Is it just me, or does the quality of the painting in this particular TT seem outstanding, going to make voting hard this time around.

no, it is not just you : I believe that there are very few or virtually no entries that stand out as being below par, as happened before.
I had the time for 2 entries only this time as the movers literally grabbed my paintbrush out of my hands to start packing...
So the next contest will see me in a new country (France) and hopefully my paints will not spill or dry up in the long transit time...

Cheers and good luck to all participants !
And of course thank you, Nathan for organizing it all !

[pete-h]

Finally finished all the commenting and voting. Great job on all the entries (didn't make the voting easy) and as usual thanks to Nathan for running the contest and to all the people who left comments.

[Coneman]

Done all my commenting and voting.
Well done and good luck to all that entered.
Thanks to all those who have commented and those that do in the future.
Thanks to Nathan for once again putting on a great competition.

[cdukino]

I might not have been able to enter the competition, but atleast i managed to comment on everything :) Voting will take some time but will be done shortly as well.

Edit: voted as well by now.

[lizcam]

I've commented on half and voted. I need to finish the commenting part. Thanks Nathan. You are a saint.

[r2-j1]

All my votes are in. There are a couple of really nice pieces in this one. I really should have entered something, but I have been so busy lately.

[Wristaction]

Will finish commenting on the last enterys later, got all the voting done.

[Redfink]

Shouldn´t the last category be named "Best of Show" instead of "Best Base of Show"? ;)

[Frustrated Father]

Ayup. Fixed here now as well. That's what you get for doing all of those in the early AM.

[matty1001]

Well i did all my commenting the other night, and all the voting earlier.
Cheers to everyone who has taken the time to comment (Not just on mine but everyones)

[callumrice]

Ive commented on most I think, its hard to tell cos Ive stopped and started so many times. Anyway, same as above, thanks for everyones comments, even those totally pointless ones (!) and I cant wait to see the results. This is the first comp outside IP I have entered here at wyrd and so far Ive enjoyed it. Good luck to everyone.

[matty1001]

I didn't know you had entered Callum. Now I know you have its obvious which entry is yours!

[EldinTux]

Can I just reitterate the thanks to everyone for the comments & votes - I will try to get some comments in tomorrow.

[callumrice]

Oh well, what can I say, it must be up to my usual standards!

I know you entered but I still cant work out which one would be yours. Same with Guy (eldintux)

[Thryth]

This sounds like a fun contest after the voting closes. Guess who painted each one. :)

[EldinTux]

I'm up for it!!! :)

[thecadian]

Im quite annoyed now

Ive just found out that im going on holiday on wednesday, this means that i wont be able to see the results until sunday :(

Oh well ill just have to see if i can get internet access on holiday

[Frustrated Father]

Little over five hours left for the polls to remain open. If you haven't finished up your comments or voting, now would be a good time.

[Hinton]

Done and done; and all before I left for my trip last week.

Good luck to everyone in the contest; I really mean that.

[Frustrated Father]

I'll be going through the voting polls later today to make certain everyone adhered to the rules. I don't really see the need to change much, though I did notice one particular got on and voted in only one category for two friends that frequent his site and left it at that so we'll be pulling those scores and banning that individual from participating in the contests in any fashion in the future.

Remember, follow the rules - all is well - jack with them and I have to make changes, spend valuable time fixing things and that makes for a cranky Nathan who decides to change your user settings for the worse on the site.

It's 4:40am in the morning my time and I've been up 20+ hours now. I'll mess with these when I get up, try and make a dent in getting everyones names changed over for the entries and post an official announcement on the winners.

Thanks again folks for making this a fun contest.

[EldinTux]

Let me be the first to thank you for the hard work Nathan. I'm sure I speak for the majority when I say we appreciate it :D

[Hinton]

We definitely appreciate it, Nathan. Sorry to hear that there are individuals throwing things off-track and making your job more difficult.

[Mosch]

Oh man, I can't believe I took first place in the Sci Fi category!
That's why I am not surprised that I didn't :D


Thanks for all your work, Nathan. There will be manipulative actions and probably won't be able to stop them, just don't let them get to you. Many people prefer free stuff to a comparison of skill so they'll try to cheat... just deal with them and don't get mad about it.

[Frustrated Father]

Meh, cranky isn't mad and no worries about it - happens everytime and I generally like to think I catch most of it and take care of it, just boggles me that folks are

A) Bending/Breaking the rules on something that really is just for fun
B) So blatantly stupid about it.

Sa'll good though. I'm awake and working on things now.

[callumrice]

Cheers Nath, your a top guy and you're well appreciated and respected by the members. Top bloke is Nath!

[Jabberwocky]

Thanks once more for a great contest. Done voted and commented on 'em all (I think). I've said it before and I'll say it again...you run a top notch gig here, Nathan, you really do!

[Wristaction]

Is there a link to the resaults of the contest.

[Frustrated Father]

It is the polls - pretty much folks can figure it out from there. I've got to go through and do the final editing on them though.

[Wristaction]

Just checking as i think i got 1st in the Fantasy section with my Plastic GW Black Orc (Entery 5) and can't beleve it...

[Hinton]

Just checking as i think i got 1st in the Fantasy section with my Plastic GW Black Orc (Entery 5) and can't beleve it...

Well, it certainly looks like Fantasy Entry #5 (http://wyrd-games.net/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=1620) is the gold winner in that category.

[Wristaction]

Bugger!!

Now i have to do a tute on my rusty metal now.
