The IDES of SOTEK 1 voting and discussion thread!

no, that's called baiting

 

The 22nd, as stated in the OP

 

More like shooting yourself in the foot. You don't bait someone in chess by laying your king down.

I could not have written a more poorly constructed sentence if I tried. By my estimation that "talent" is innate and likely beyond your conscious control.

 

I'm glad you acknowdlegde it requires talent to lay such an exquisite trap.

 

If by "laying a trap" you mean inadvertently forfeiting and utterly surrendering your side of the argument, then I fully acknowledge your expertise.

 

I guess it was too complex for you to follow then

 

Back to topic please

 

You know things have truly veered off topic when @Lord-Marcus is attempting to put it back on course (or when I attempt to do so) . However, I believe your judgement is sound. This diversion has run its course. I defer to your wisdom (this time!).

@Lord-Marcus if you want to change the theme of the next contest... let me know!

 

This was a fun competition and I hope to return and enter more!

I loved the concept Canas did, and wish I had a more altered model myself. I'm now working on one that will require a bit of green stuff due to inspiration.

The red, blue and gold went so well with Grdemon's. I think I'll post the same miniature I painted a few years ago on my blog before too long. Definitely not as clean and dashing as yours!

Hojdar's the mad slaan looks great. I like how bright and defined he is. I find some of those colors get clumpy for me.

Killer angel's tenihuini is a neat model I wasn't aware of until now! I like his unique skin color and those freehand looking triangles on his bag!

Teve's skink priest is well done. I notice on your model a similar problem I had a while back. Yellow feathers getting a green tinge is a pain! I think you did a good job with skin color highlights and varying those blues.

Croco' skull skink... is mine!

 

By the way, seeing as you're planning on making this a recurring thing, may I suggest listing a couple of the theme's ahead of time for the next ones. Might help with planning what to paint when for those interested.

 

Sure. I'll make a master themes/suggestions thread soonish

 

My suggested theme:

Chaos Warhounds. Must be five of them. They must be the old metal variant.

 

that's.. oddly specific...

 

The will of the mysterious Old Ones?

 

Unfortunately I am the DM in this scenario, not @NIGHTBRINGER

 

4 days to go! Next contest will have a shorter voting timeline I think.

 

I agree... that is unfortunate!
