Looking forward to all the nice entries and as far as I see it, there are no mediocre painters in the LPL, everyone who manges to finish is IMHO a painting hero! 

I can only echo this comment as I was deluded into thinking that I may be able to enter this year but reality went and slapped me around the chops whilst saying:
"You fool!
Do you honestly think that you could keep up with the tight schedule of a team a week plus extras?
Idiot!"


@ Wirelizard and gnomehome, in the worst case scenario we’ll end up in the 50th position… out of 3872 LAF members that’s still not too bad ;)

Thats the spirit!
50 of you fellas and the rest of us can only look on in admiration.

Good luck to all entrants!
Gotta admire you fellas.
 :D

Oh come now, I spent the weekend one city over at a gaming meet/convention, which means I spent all my gaming time last week prepping for that. Full day at work Monday, then home to touch up figures and throw them in front of the camera... at least one of the figures I sent off to Overlord still had wet paint on it, thankfully where the camera couldn't see it!

I MAY be able to do something similar occasionally, but KNOW that I wouldnt keep the painting rate up for ten weeks.

I went ahead and made the decision to try to enter last night. So, I stopped by Hobby Lobby on the way home for materials to construct an idea for a light box I've been kicking around in my head. Hopefully, I get it assembled this evening and pictures taken and sent in. Oh, and that I'm in time, too....!

I do have to add a standard to my command entry, and that will hopefully be finished up in time to photograph tonight.

So, hey, that means another average painter in the contest, too...!

Mildly surprised it's that low, actually, 36hrs or so after entries opened.

Come on, get photographing, people!

Submitted! I've only been working on it since I left school, oh, about 7-8 hours ago....!  o_o

I constructed a new version of my "light box" to photograph figures. It is bigger (covers an 18" square area, and is 24" tall) and breaks down for storage. I definitely have some tweaking to do on it, but it worked fairly well for photographing the first three rounds.

With the worst email issues I have ever had as Sky stumble through one of the most inept transfers to a new mail system using the aptly named Yahoo(s),

I think I have managed to put in my first 3 entries!

Will be having to Iron Man the rest of the season, although I always seem to do that!

The more I plan to plan ahead the less things stay to plan...

Good luck everyone, can't wait for the eye candy.

 :) :-* :)

If anyone could confirm my entries have made it that would be great?

Well, mine are submitted. Against my better judgement... I'll be painting week to week again and time is precious...  o_o

800 pixel images seem too small... I'm not even sure if my pics will look okay :p

Good luck ladies and gentlemen!

How full is the line up now?  I must find the time to take some pictures tonight.... o_o  I've been preparing for a big game with my friends and have not had the time to focus on the LPL yet....but the blood letting was last night and now that the dust is settled I can (hopefully) get down to business.

Cheers,

Blue

Hi Overlord,

I haven't received a confirmation email, can you confirm that you have received my entries please, or I can re-send them.

Ta.
