The Lead Painters' League - Season Three

[Pil]

Wheew, finished my round 8 entry last night. I had a couple of beers before I started painting but I think it worked out in the end

[Froggy the Great]

While I have a possibility for a R8 entry done, the figures I want to enter are still mostly Arctic Camo.

  Oh my… a drunken chimp is doing better than me in the LPL…    

[Froggy the Great]

Eh.
Speaking as an occupant of the bottom quarter: I know my worth, and I'm just having fun with the LPL instead of obsessing over my ranking.

That's the spirit. Power to you, brother.

[Calimero]

My comments about my ranking are not to be taken seriously, I too participate in the LPL just for the fun of It… I wouldn’t even dream to be among the top ranking peoples. I’m really comfortable with how I’m doing so far and with the ranking I have. I have to say though that I’m proud of myself since I managed to present new team every weeks… some were close to the deadline though…

Rd 8 finished and away early.
Now on to round 9 and try and do some of Rd 10 at the same time.
I am getting to thinking that I may have bitten off more than I can chew with the choices I have made.

[Mr.J]

Just finished all my entries!
Now no painting for me for the next three months though as I am off to the US for summer.
Had to do the last ones in a hurry but overall I am fairly pleased with them, just glad I managed to squeeze them in before I go

[Plynkes]

I am getting to thinking that I may have bitten off more than I can chew with the choices I have made.

Aye, me and all, as far as the final two rounds go. Only just made it this week as it is, and had to take some time off work to get it done, plus painted until one in the morning last night. As it is my entry for this week will be a rushed job that I'm not entirely happy with. I'm loving the LPL but it is killing me! Shall breathe a huge sigh at the finish, get drunk and sleep for two days. 

On the other hand I'm chuffed with how much I'm getting done. The incentive of the deadline means my productivity has skyrocketed. I'm really going to try and emulate it in my normal painting to a degree after the league is done, and carry on the LPL in my head, just to keep churning out the figures.


Also, I've found a secret weapon. Play the following song on an endless loop and it makes you paint faster* (I'm the slowest painter in the world normally). Just like listening to Motorhead on the Autobahn makes you drive faster, this will make you work faster:




*Only trouble is, it will also drive you insane.

[Sinewgrab]

I honestly believe I would rather slam my junk in a car door than listen to that for more than the requisite 15 seconds I just gave it.

(shudder)

Me, I worry not about my location on the board - I'm paintin', and that is what matters. Actually, my production skyrocketed when I lost my job, so between the LPL and more time, I have painted more figures in the last 3 weeks than I had in the previous 6 months.

[Braxandur]

I think it would be far kinder to recommend a metal plate under the feet that slowly heats up and only stops when the figure is finished.

I completly agree...  that "song" is horrific...  I just tend to put on some TV series and watch/listen them at the same time as painting. This LPL actually already "forced" me to watch all 5 seasons of Andromeda within 6 weeks

Then again, I actually mainly cared about finishing a lot of projects I never got around to finishing (or even starting) and I'm doing a good job as far as I'm concerned and enjoying myself a lot with the painting and picture taking.

[Plynkes]

Well I like it, you miserable bastards! 

[gamer Mac]

Well I like it, you miserable bastards! 

Where's the vomitting icon?

[Raz]

Well, just sent in my entries for round 8 & 9. As of tomorrow morning I'm on holiday in Denmark. Enjoy the painting, voting and viewing of other peoples work everybody. See you in two weeks.

[Vanvlak]

Not bad at all - must try it wjhilst correcting dissertations. 

Had to send in a reserve squad for week 8 - gah 
On a more positive note, I finally found time to get a beastie for week 10 - it's actually one of a bag of 6, but that didn't stop me - they were VERY cheap.
