BrushOff! 2011
« on: November 01, 2011, 07:33:07 PM »
It's November, which means... time for another painting contest!  The rules remain the same: paint any one pack of Strange Aeons miniatures (yup, that includes singles like the Formless Thing or Godling - heck, painting a Godling may score you bonus points!) and send us a picture by November 30.  We'll pick our three favourites and hand out some prizes:

3rd Place - Miniature pack of your choice
2nd Place - Two miniature packs of your choice
1st Place - The Grand Prize: a top-secret yet-to-be-released monster kit

The grand prize kit will be previewed in a few weeks, and will not be available for purchase until Spring 2012.  You can be the first to have this hideous beast, but you'll have to impress us with your fancy brushwork to get your hands on it!  Pictures can be sent to contests@strange-aeons.ca, or posted on this thread.  JPG, GIF or PNG format are preferred, with a resolution no greater than 1024x768.  We'll also be adding all entries to our BrushOff! Gallery as they come in.

Now, get painting!

Only one week down and three entrants already.  Keep them coming!

I should note, as we do have one individual with multiple entries, that you're welcome to submit as many painted packs as you like.  All entries will be posted to the gallery, but we'll select the one we feel represents your best effort to participate in the final competition.

I would like to join the competition, but I only have a Mad Scientist that came with one of the Shocking Tales of Madness and Mayhem books. The Mad Scientist is now part of the Madmen set, so I'm wondering if I can still enter the competition with only this model. If not, then better luck for me next time.

I'm afraid the technicalities have you this time Sir. A full pack is required...still time to wrangle up a pack thou... ;)

And when you see what the first place prize is... :o. At least I think it's pretty cool. Just finishing the painting on mine. Always the first thing I do once I get on out of the mold.

Pictures to follow...at some point...tentacles...eyes...so many eyes... ;D

I have ordered the formless spawn and fishmen pack 1 today, so if the postal services won't let me down, I might be able to enter as well! 8) The formless spawn does count as an official entry on it's own I presume?

EDIT: D'OH! Just noticed my question is already answered in the first post... :-X

Entries posted to the gallery - thanks gents!  And don't sell yourself short there Hombre.  I quite like your Formless Thing - understated yet effective.

Now, about that grand prize kit....
