Contest Entry thread: The Feathered Serpent comp. (aug-oct)

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 sad thing: by my own rules, i cannot enter with my Realmshaper Engine

 

That's no problem at all!

a nice jungle base would be perfect!

 

You're in.
Love the little venomous snakes.

 

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..."
