陷阱与钟摆(The Pit and the Pendulum)Xian Jing yu Zhong Bai - Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge #11









Here's the link for my blog with more pics, if you are so inclined.

Yup, I’ve finally lost my mind.... I’ve joined a famous painting challenge, the guy with no free time who paints glacially slow, volunteer coaches multiple divisions of youth ice hockey, youth soccer, and youth flag football. What was I thinking?!?! Well with the plague turning the world upside down I may just have a chance to paint.

This is my second entry into the AHPC #11.
My take on the next chamber, "The Pit and the Pendulum" is a Chinese version  of the tale. I thought about the theme and not having any medieval or fantasy figures in my collection this would suite the bill. My good friend Mad Guru from Maiwand Day blog fame asked his wife to translate for me. This is her translation, thank you Xinhua.   http://maiwandday.blogspot.com/

The Challenge is in its 11th season, check out this link for data, challenge history, and some of the awesome entries. These are some very talented and imaginative painters and hobbyists!

The participants gain points for each completed figure and terrain piece. The larger the figure or terrain piece the more points are awarded. Here is the map of the challenge. Each chamber has a theme, if the entry is within the stated theme 20 additional points will be added to the score for that chamber. Four chambers must be completed before descending to the next level. It's a pretty cool idea.

Thank you for taking the time to look at and comment in my vignette. My next Far East project are (2) gun crews for the Black Flags and Boxer Rebellion.
