[P] AUG Challenge - "GOBLINS"

Dead Marsh Spectre · **Posted:** Mon Aug 01, 2016 9:55 am

Welcome to the August painting challenge. This months subject will be ..

This will be a single miniature challenge. Goblins from the Hobbit or Lotr range are acceptable. If you are stuck then orcs can be used as a last resort.

1. To enter the painting challenge, the miniature you are painting must not be painted before starting and picture proof must be shown of the miniature 'pre-painted' (unprimed, undercoated or if you are repainting and old miniature - in its' original paint scheme) otherwise your entry will not be eligible.

2. You may join the painting challenge in progress at any time, but must submit photographs of the completed miniature by midnight GMT of August 31st 2016. WIP images are welcomed and encouraged. A maximum of 4 photos per model of your completed entries please, this allows you to show your miniatures off from front, back and each side which is more than enough. If you would like to compile more than four pictures into one file it is ok to do that

Pictures of completed models must be submit using a third party hosting site such as photobucket or imageshack. Pictures submit by attachment will not be eligible for the vote. Any problems PM me.

3. Miniatures that are completed in time will be eligible to win the challenge. The challenge winner will be decided by the vote of the OR community. The community will choose one winner and one runner-up from the completed miniatures. Votes should be cast not simply on painting skill, but on merit, including creativity, application of painting techniques, artist improvement, etc. There is no prize available for the winners of this challenge, the challenge is solely for community participation and as an incentive for people to reduce their backlog and improve their painting skills.

4. With the introduction of The League Winners from the previous month are now eligible to enter and win consecutive challenges without penalty.

Good luck and have fun!

Would I be able to enter the Moria goblin drum team or should I just paint them both and enter one of them?

@Wah Wing - single mini bro so only one could be entered, nothing to stop you sneaking the drum into the pic with one drummer tho

Hi
I've just finished my entry. At last I have added some things to the lonely goblin...

I hope you like it, and good luck.

Ah, I know there are six photos, cut the two you like for the voting post.

I haven't given myself a huge deal of time here, but I would like to enter this competition too. I have an unopened BGiME Goblin King/Durburz who I think deserves some attention after so many years in his blister pack prison cell! Here is my proof photo!

See you in a couple of hours!

Regards

Slayer

Here are the WIP photos. He's almost done now, but it's so dark that I can't take a picture that's even moderately okay. I'll upload the four competition pictures tomorrow when there's some natural light.

Regards

Slayer

And here's a teaser of the Gobbo.

Finally finished! Here are my four official competition photographs.

I hope you enjoy looking at them.

Good luck to everyone else!

Kind Regards

Sorry for the spam, but this is probably easier/better to display in the voting post.
