I'm glad to welcome you all to our third

FEATHERED SERPENT PAINTING COMPETITION


In The Feathered Serpent, we pick a different theme each time, and the goal is to represent the theme or find ways to turn it to the ways of the Old Ones.

The theme of this competition, as chosen by Explodingzeb, the winner of the last challenge, is

"LUSTRIAN VISTAS".​

The theme focuses on the backgrond of Lustria, the place where our lizards move and live.
Pieces of scenery are great, but of course any model with a gorgeous and luxuriant base will work as well.
And why not? even a diorama.

You are also encouraged to use models or parts from whatever army you feel like, not restricted to Lizardmen / Seraphon only. It could be a single model or a whole unit of them, of all scales (pun intended) and sizes.
Original models (sculpts) and conversions are allowed.

The Prize: The winner earns the glory and a place in the incoming Hall of Fame thread. The winner also gets to select the theme of the next painting challenge.

The Rules:
  • All models entered should not have been painted more than a year ago from the date the entry thread is closed. This will not be enforced but violators will politely be asked to retract their entry.
  • All miniatures presented must have been painted by the entrant.
  • Max one entry per person.
  • Max 3 images per entry (including pictures in collages), of reasonable size.
  • No voting for your own entry.
  • (for now) Open entries and open voting. Everyone can see who painted what.
  • Models can be of any manufacturer and conversion but must fulfill the criteria of the given theme.
  • A diorama is a valid entry, as long as it fits the theme.

The Schedule:

Week 1: now - Theme announcement and entry thread created
Week 7, Saturday, october 7th: Entry thread closed. Voting thread opened.
Week 9, Saturday, october 21th: Voting thread closed. Result announced. Winner asked about next theme.


This thread is now open for people to post their entries. Please state a name of the entry along with the pictures. The thread closes on the 7th of october 2023 at (roughly) 23:59 (but we are not in a hurry, we can easily extend it if someone needs to finish their entry). You can also comment and discuss in this thread, it is not restricted exclusively for entries.
 
Honestly, I don't get the theme. Sorry! Should it be a nice Jungle base or something that is relevant in turms of Fluff of Lustria?

Sorry maybe my English is not good enough!

No limitation on amount of participants or requests to enter. Just paint model, shoot 3 pictures and slap it here to add it to competition. :)
 
Sounds interesting, I could try to complete a project I had on my mind for some time I even painted up one skink for it last week. And even if I don't finish it for this contest I'm still motivated to push it forward. Plus taking a break from the skinks im currently working in would be nice, since they don't want to cooperate with me.
 
@Killer Angel I have question.

Upon reading the entry requirements I noticed that nothing is mentioned about reentering models that have been entered in an earlier Feathered Serpent contest.
For instance: if I enter a diorama in this contest, can I enter models separately in another contest run?

Grrr, !mrahil

Mmm...
I'd say it shouldn't be a habit, but as long as your entry wasn't already the winner in a previous contest, i could give it a go.
Just pm me before entering it. I would avoid things as "my oldblood on carnosaur fits Commanders, and fits Dinosaurs, and fits Saurus warrior..."

Reasonable, perhaps good to add this to the requirements ;)
