Can a stuffed Barney dino count for a beastie? lol

I think I will have no choice but to let go the bonus point for round 10… I’m still wondering what I will do as my entry for that last round.  :?

Round 8 was emailed whole hours ahead of deadline, I could have actually finished Round 9 this evening if beer hadn't seemed like a more interesting idea, and Round 10's bonus beastie was finished last week.

Round 10's exploration team are ticking along nicely, and the Lost World residents are doing OK... I hate painting fleshtones, and there's entirely too much #%#$# flesh to paint on the damn things...

I may actually be organized. Shocking.

I do know I'm having fun - gotten more painting done since April than the preceeding twelve months!

As Round 7 comes to a close, it goes down as the best round of the League so far, at least for me.

Congratulations to Grimm, Tellus, Plynkes and Chambers and their truly epic confrontations and beautiful brushwork.

No matter what the outcome, you folks are definately some of the best painters around these parts and kept me sitting on the edge of my seat all week long.

Great job guys!

He'll be a bit more difficult to spot next round...  ;)

Thankfully, as we move into Round 8, we can almost see the finish line of the LPL marathon....  o_o

Even my brush is drooping a bit...  lol

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.

I too kind of like this song… maybe not enough to play it all day though.

Anyway, I find a far better way to stay at may painting table thanks to the girl next door who decide to take a sun bath just in from of my window!  :o
So far I’ve painted the upper left corner of my computer’s keyboard, my coffee mug and all my fingers at least once… mind you, I managed to paint some figures in between all this mess… focus, focus…  ;D

Round 8 is in for me as well, but I could not, after innumerable tries and 3 hours, get a good photo. We were having one of those gray but glary sorts of days, and I could not convince the camera that what the light level really was, so it got washed out by the flash. BUT, they are done, and nifty.

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 :)

 :o Oh my… a drunken chimp is doing better than me in the LPL…   ;)  lol



Well, I am losing this round ;)

I'm not sure if I can finish a new team for round 9 but if I can't I'll send in the zombies. I based my beastie for round 10 but I haven't painted anything yet.

Left comments on all new entries. Been a while since I left some comments on the entries :)

My greatest success this far in LPL3: managing to send in the pic for next week on Friday instead of Saturday.  :D

My round 9 is just away, a day early again. Now on to round ten.
I'll be sweating buckets over this one. :'(
I really doubt it will go in a day early. ;D

And a whole 52 minutes before deadline, my Round 9 entry is in!

Fun painting, but I kind of ran out of steam on the photography... On to finish up the last details of my Round 10 blowout!

Urgh.  Missed the deadline again.

On the other hand, I did paint figure #365 for the year last night, just not as part of a patch of five.

Well, I managed to paint my round 9 entry last monday and tuesday (just in time for tuesday's game) which I sent piccies of on thrusday leaving me with some days to spare for round 10. I finished my beast and am halfway through my natives but I'm still not sure about the colour scheme for my adventurers.
