IRON PAINTER 4...are you ready? [Archive]

Thats right paint fans. IP4 is going to be underway.

What can we expect this season?

hmmm tough deadlines, tough themes, tough votes, and most likely a female champion....

Sign up below. I'd like to have the kickoff in a week or two. The number of contestants we get will most likely determine the number of rounds we have...but we've been averaging about 5 rounds....the better you are, the harder it gets!!

So, if you want to motivate yourself to paint more, clear some desk space, or even push yourself as a painter, this is the challenge for you. Please familiarize yourself with the sticky rules if you need to. I'll update them when I get a chance, but they give you the gist of it if you are new to the best little contest on the web!!

With a larger number of judges and a set standard to photography I would be up for the test.
I feel a front and back picture of the entry and a close range should be required. to add to the quality of judging 6- 10 judges should be seated then one judge could not rule out the scores of the other judges. The main flaws to this competition from my standpoint. good fun non the less.

Well I said earlier, I will judge if need be.
Just tell me what to do and when to do it, if need be.

I would like to enter this but UK GD and a few other important paintjobs are stopping me. Shame, I always liked the look of this comp.

I would really, REALLY love for this to be after the 23rd of September, but I am in regardless (how I may regret saying that!)

Have loads of ideas for UKGD, so may just use Iron painter to try and get some done in 2 weeks and just say b*ll*cks to the theme!

Oh, its time to get it on. Brushes ready. Figures ready.

I can easily be persuaded into putting this off for a month, especially if it increases the number of contestants.

Regarding the judging. I think I will revert back to the original 3 judge system. Adding more judges would only dilute the decisions (take that US Supreme Court). Besides, the Iron Chef, which uses the 3 judge format, is the 'basis' for the contest. It seems easy and straight forward.

I cannot see a rule that would force a submitter into certain picture shots. It makes sense for the submitter to present views to help the judges, I would think a front and back shot and a closeup is in the submitters best interest.
It is up to the submitter to provide that, not the rules.

Sorry to sound crass about it, but I don't think either of those are flaws in the event at all....rather I see them as strengths.

EldinTux

08-19-2007, 09:02 PM

If you're gonna put it off until the end of Sept I might be convinced to enter :)

It is your event and your opinion Jim and I respect that no matter your crass approach and, whether it was necessary.

I'm out afterall... sorry guys. To bussy to be able to guarantee making deadlines to put it mildly every 2 weeks. Especially if I would advance a few rounds I am pretty damn certain I would have a DNF in a few weeks.

So to be on the safe side... Not joining in this time

What gives you that impression Cow?? Is it that you have so many tiles now that your avatar banner is stretched beyond belief?? lol!

Count me in, whenever it starts. Im in the same boat as most, need something to get me back to the painting table. Hope you join us Mr Tux, its a quality laugh. Same with Matt, Billy and Brett.

In all seriousness there aint much you CAN do when drawn up against someone like eric but try and wind him up something stupid!

Oh well, whos up for a rematch??!!

don't worry, I'm not painting this round of IP, I already proved how non-iron I was. It seems all flash with no staying power :(

Yep! that was my entry taking home a demon, although I don't know what they were thinking photo'n him from that angle, looking up! Can't complain though ;)

In all fairness... I think I've got much better chances showing my iron-ness being a judge than painting.... :hmmmm:

08-20-2007, 03:10 PM

Sorry to get you all worked up and then pull back...I'm such a contest-teaser...

BUT....I think we will postpone until after GDUK. But that is only a short month away. Look for a new sign up thread about a week prior.

Sorry and thanks!

Oh, and we will have our original judging in place. Erics huge ego had to be replaced by two, but now, since he is back....

Yaaaay!!! Thanks vikey, you do rock more than the Rock eating rockcakes, standing on the rock of Gibraltor whilst singing jailhouse rock into an improvised microphone of a stick of Blackpool rock and similtaneously playing Rock paper scissors with Rocky Balboa who is wearing Rocky and Bulwinkle socks.

Did I ever tell you how great a painter I think you are Eric? And judge?? Boy can you judge, top class.

Eh? what you mean you dont like folk damning you? It wasnt me eric, it was matt. Blame matt, he hacked into my comp and typed all that stuff about you!

On a serious note, have you got the pic they took of your demon winning entry? I want to know what your talking about when you say looking up.

Ah, I thought it was time......

However, I agree that another month to bring in more painters is a good thing..

I need to practice several of the new techniques that I learned at GenCon to get them into the painting regimen and useful for Iron Painting.

Until next month.....

Cheers all.

Now wait a minute, didn't Jim postpone this for a bunch of ya'll hollerin' and carrying on about GDUK and now I hear a few of you aren't going to manage anyhow? Now, now ..

I would make the suggestion that the IP go on its scheduled date that Jim comes up with as not everyone is going to be able to participate each and every time, even though we would be ecstatic to have all of your participate each and every time as personally I get a real tickle out of it.

Anyhow, no bribery on my part, I'll just take a cut of Eric's share, but looking forward to seeing who joins up and how this one pans out!
