Yes, I’ve seen yours and very fine work indeed David! But are we the only ones? That is what I wanted to know. I suspect not and I also think there are many good painters out there. I doubt if Mithril will post anything but the winning entires. I’m interested in seeing the work of others.
I was lucky enough to have a chat with the man today at Salute and he said they seem to be selling well so hopefully a fair few should appear.
I’m more of a ‘look at the overall effect’ painter than a small scale painter (long gone are the days when I could paint a figures eyes at that scale) but I reckon some of the real miniature artists out there will come up with some painted ‘gems’ especially with the incentive of the Knights set.
I hung some pictures up in Sam’s gallery, but I’m not sure they’re level! I hope others do the same because I don’t think we’ll see much on the Mithril website. At least not for a while…
Sadly, My corsairs will remain in port for this deployment. I actually got my chosen five assembled and primed, but just did not have the time to paint them up. Tomorrow, finally, is my last day of classes for this semester, and I’ll hopefully have more time to paint between now and September!
Sorry to hear that Presto. Despite my firm belief to the contrary, they have posted the Corsairs contest entries on the Mithril website (Michael is a webmaster after all!). There are some great entries so the competition is stiff! I wouldn’t want to be a judge. There’s some really cool stuff there…check it out!:cool:
I also checked out the galleries this morning, and was favorably impressed! It was nice to see that I came up with some of the same ideas, lash marks on the backs of the slave figures, and facial tatooing on the bald guy. (I was thinking more Maori though…) I was very impressed by how well some of the painters rendered stripes and embroidery on the cloth. cool stuff.
I’d hate to have to judge between the best of them – they all have different strengths in different ways. It would be easier to judge which are the ‘worst’, even where ‘worst’ is a relative term – I probably couldn’t have done as well as any of the entrants!
Who is/are the judge(s) going to be – do we know? I can’t remember if we’ve been told (memory like a lumber-room etc). but I’d hope The Man himself will be one of them.
