The Lead Painters League Season 10 - General Discussion (Round 11 started)

[Dentatus]

I've been inspired and intimidated in equal measure every year, but figured I'd use the opportunity to paint up a large batch of fantasy figs. And oddly, I thought it would be booked solid within 48 hrs of opening too. C'mon, I've seen so much excellent work on this site, there's got to be more folks who can participate.

Oh is it lunchtime guessed it would have been midnight

Five rounds worth of entries sent in...which leaves me six round to paint over the next 11 weeks. This will be tight. I've always set a goal to have all new entries for every round, but if I "roll a 1" at the end of the league, don't judge..! 

Looking forward to it...

First 3 entries sent in... hopefully I got it all right... 

Still not sure how I am going to finish 8 more entries since it took me 2 months to do 3...

If any forum memebr is reading this who has never entered before, may I remind you it's "just for fun."  It doesn't matter how good a painter you are.  It doesn't matter if you can't manage a new team each round.  It doesn't matter if your photos are not always "perfect."

It may not matter to you, but is matters to me. That's way I no longer participate - I have the impression that the emphasis is more on photography/presentation than painting.

I'm afraid that I'm not going to participate this year  as although  I have 7 entries almost complete, barring some basing, I just don't get around to the last step and take pictures. Our newborn baby , however cute he is, manages to seriously disrupt my mojo. I'll have to have some serious words with him about this when he is older

Entries in.

[Prof.Witchheimer]

I completely forgot that it's tomorrow lunchtime for the deadline and would have no way of getting the photos done and sorted by then.

I'm pretty fine with extending the deadline till tomorrow if it's necessary, guys, so feel free to to send me the pictures today afternoon or tomorrow

OH! There's hope! I'll be doing my damnedest then!

Team 2 and 3 finished yesterday evening. Team 1 base coated, pre-shaded and so on and ready for paint. Now, to get my lovely little assistant in the pram and asleep for a few hours!

[LordOdo]

You can put me down too, just need some things to finish!

[von Lucky]

Come on guys - you can do it!

[Timbor]

It may not matter to you, but is matters to me. That's way I no longer participate - I have the impression that the emphasis is more on photography/presentation than painting.

I would say this is pretty accurate, but thus is the subjectivity of creativity and technology. A masterfully painted miniature photographed with improper settings and poor lighting could easily get worse results than a tabletop quality miniature photographed well with a nice background and good lighting.  I have held off for a few years as I wanted to have the skills to present my entries well.

I don't see the problem though - there are some incredibly talented individuals on this forum and it is inspiring to see what can be achieved with their skills. I am not sure there is much more you could control with these entries to try and standardize them without stifling creativity.

Glad to see there are a few more last minute entries coming in, I am getting excited for this!

Have to admit "fun" is not the first word that leaps to my mind either. Not only do I consider my brushwork somewhere around tabletop standard -  certainly not competition level -  but I'm painfully aware my photography skills are sub par. That said, this will still spur me on to slather away at the unpainted lead mountain.
