I'm glad to welcome you all to our Eleventh


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 round, as chosen by @Explodingzeb, the winner of the last challenge, is


"PATTERNS".



These can be natural, like markings on creatures. Or they can be painted, designs on shields or cloth etc. .

The goal is just one: to exalt those details that make your model stand out!

Fantastic banner! A great first entry. Would love to see another 2 pics of this added, you're allowed to use 3 :)

the rear is not painted! it's an old jedi trick. :p

BTW, i really like the way (due to the difficulty of freehand painting a small surface with small details) the final result seems a crude sign, as the one that could indeed be painted by scaly hands.
 
Wow! Another strong entry! This round is going to be pretty difficult to choose who to vote for :)
