    I'm the first one to vote!!

    Thanks to @Lord-Marcus for putting on such a great competition for our community. Very much appreciated good sir! I award you a top hat Tiniest Top Hat.jpg

    Congrats to everyone who entered. Lots of amazing pieces, you should all be proud! A top hat for you all Tiniest Top Hat.jpg



    As for my voting:

    My second favourite entry was @GrDemon - saurus oldblood. I like the stark contrast between the blue skin tone and red armour. I think the colour scheme works really well with the model. It creates a beautifully imposing effect. Kudos to you @GrDemon !


    My top selection goes to @Hojdar with the madslaan. An absolutely stunning set of colours applied with brilliant execution. The attention to detail is superb. I love the blue markings on the top/back of the head. The vortex/cyclone holding up the palanquin looks really good and fits perfectly with the model. The colour variation on the Slann's hands is also a great touch. I salute you @Hojdar !

    Who else deserves that honor if not the bringer of polls?;)

    Me myself will take some time contemplating before voting... would be much easier if one or two of you would have contributed some crab... sadly you didn't and so I have to make a hard decision...:p;)
    Thanks for that!
    And thanks to @Lord-Marcus for motivating people and organising this whole thing!

    One of my votes went to @GrDemon . That Oldblood is great, it seems it has just materialized from a chinese myth.

    Speaking of Oldbloods, i really liked @Canas idea, but IMO the details are not well defined and the colors of the saurus are a little "flat"... don't know if it's an effect of the lighting

    On the contrary, the details of the madslaan by @Hojdar are exceptional, but frankly i don't like the color of the vortex (while the Slann is perfect)

    But this thread is about SOTEK, and we have 3 skink priests!
    Obviously, I cannot vote for mine, so i remain with @Croco Guard and @Teve Torbes

    The skull helmed skinkpriest is really nice, but @Teve Torbes did a great job and the details are worderful, so there goes my second vote!

    My first vote went to @Canas because he is a relatively new painter, the piece my not be precise but it does show lots of drama and good technique that will flourish in the future.

    My second vote went to @Hojdar the use of the balewind to support the Slann is a great move but also the colours are vibrant.

    Both show great future potential as do all the entries, well done everyone that entered.

    A solid race for 2nd place. First place is starting to pull away though.

    Can you still not see the picture?
