Miniature painting, terrain building, differently themed bases, dioramas, conversions, tutorials, reports on workshops and events for miniature painters.
My projects have often been inspired by feedback of other hobbyists. This blog is for you! I hope that one day, it will be a source of mutual inspiration, a virtual meeting point for miniature painters to connect, share ideas, improve their skills and thus ultimately support each other in their creative work.
Well, 4th place is not to be sneezed at, even if that's slightly odd criticism (how much information do you get on judging criterion beforehand, out of interest?)
I think the winner is a bit too "busy" for my liking. I like the second place model, mostly because of the white / clear gem which is not something you see done very often and looks really nice.
@Information on judging criterion beforehand: None.
4 of 7 ... is rather disappointing and quite frustrating for me TBH, especially considering the reason given by the jury. The marble is something my fellow painters found particularly well done and interesting about the mini.
Yeah, I think I like the second place one the most as well. I like the base for that one better. It keeps it simple, yet is very much in the vein of Lizardmen.
Game store competitions can be like that. I've found that in local competitions, when I entered a highly-detailed single figure model, I'd lose to the really big models that only had a base coat and a few highlights picked out. It was more the model that attracted them than the paint job. Of course, those events tend to be a popularity competition as well.

I'm loving it, Weib!
