AVATARS OF WAR COMPETITION CHAT THREAD

[Payce]

Updated my post in the competition thread with proper images.

Here's how she turned out:

[Searinox Nagharha]

Ill try to get em up asap Errdrigar girlfriend wants to take the pictures for me but shes a perfectionist when it comes to that kinda like me when it comes to my Minis
In my eyes i havent finished it yet, but i feel that adding anything more would destroy the model.

[Rakariel]

I put my entry up on the competition thread aswell. The whole thing was a great motivation to finally get another peg rider painted

[Dyvim tvar]

Put my guy up. Not going to win, but it was fan and a good excuse to start painting Dark Elves again.

I see no reason to assume you can't - your model looks great, and the freehand work on the banner is outstanding.

Thanks. But Cultofkhaine and Faeli-n have some awesome models up and Lion of Landers has yet to show his hand ...

Well, to be clear, I didn't say you didn't have stout competition. I just said you shouldn't assume you have no chance.

Also note that CultofKhaine is ineligible to win, because he's one of the mods.

[Khaleth Blackheart]

@ Faelin, excellent job really love the colours of the armour and of the feathers.
@ Rakariel, very neat paint job and love the pose of the model

[faeli-n]

Thanks! I am undecided about the beak, I may repaint it first thing tomorrow, hehe.

Glad I finished in time, it was good motivation!

[Rakariel]

@Khaleth Blackheart
Thanks, it was fun painting him indeed

[Searinox Nagharha]

Thats it! I'm done! If I do any more work on him either me or mini-me is gonna get destroyed I hope you guys like it I really liked doing it and had the plan to make him in my head the moment I saw the new releases, So this comp rly gave me the push that i needed to make him and to put alot of effort into him. I'll try to get in a 4th picture of the his back in before closing but atleast i got my pictures up







hope you guys like it

@Dyvim
rly man you did a great job on that guy, especially the freehand on the banner. i can barely do a straight rune

@all the others
I seriously like where this thread is going alot of real cool minis comming out of it.

[T.D.]

OOooooooh!

[direweasel]

Looking sharp! I like the color pallette on the cold one particularly.

[cultofkhaine]

Not long to go now everyone - it's getting down to the wire. If you have not yet posted your entry now is the time to do so, don't leave it to the last second

The entry thread will be locked at Thursday 31st July 2014 - 12pm DNet Time

It's also not to late to change your category - If you do select the Masters Category you will not be moved down.

Good Luck to everyone there are some great entries and comments, encouragement for everyone entering!

[1_Epsilon_1]

Let's go with mine: Vidialeth, the Night Shadow:



It' has been a difficult miniature. I've had spent a lot of hours to repair some problems, such as the weapons, which were really thin.

I made some freehands on both sides of the cloak, and practice a lot with the skin and the NMM (one of them in the cloak). I outlined everything, following some advices from previous DE miniatures.

Unfortunately I'm not a good photographer, so some parts have unwished highlights caused by the light. On the other hand, I tried to do the frontside and backside photos the best as I could. I believe I've managed it.

Hope you like it guys, and good luck!

Now, it's time to kill my enemies with it in the Arena!

[Dyvim tvar]

Oooh -- Rakariel and Khaleth have some good entries!

Come on Flanders, where you at?

[Khaleth Blackheart]

@ Dyvim tvar, thank you
@ 1_Epsilon_1. Really nice entry, I love the freehand on the cloak and the NMM.

[Rakariel]

@ Dyvim tvar
Thank you very much

And 1_epsilon_1 is done too now. Great job! Same goes for Searinox and all the others.

[Blydz]

@Blydz: You've turned a nice mini into an excellent one. The only detail I would consider to improve is that gold layer on the shoulders. It looks a bit thick for me but maybe it's just an impression or fault of a photo.

Yeah, I also saw this.
It is not completely the photo which is in question.
The model is lead, and faces on shoulders have very fine details which hang on very well the light (as on the photo "Before"), but are fast submerged by the painting.

They were lost well before the layer of gold, regrettably.

[cultofkhaine]

Only a few hours left to get your entry in before the competition thread is locked - I would hate for anyone to miss out on entering this great comp. If you still plan to enter get a wriggle on and post your photos.

[Kreol]

Sorry, I wans't active because my laptop got broken and I stil couldn't spent much time online, only couple minutes at work

This is my entry, I want to make glowing rune at first, but I saw Yours works and freehands and I got motivated to try my best. Name of Crimson Death give me hint, and I want to paint something like Marvel's Carnage on it, hope You like it. I'll try to post some more photos ASAP I have time at work.

[Searinox Nagharha]

ow wow that looks sweet KreoL. very nicely done

[Dyvim tvar]

Wow

[direweasel]

The strands of congealing blood are a really cool touch, and the freehand on the blade is top notch too. Very nice.

[Payce]

And the winner is...

I absolutely love the belly on the tiny dragon. That detail to me just does SO much for this model. And the pink as well, perfect contrast.

Wow.
