Contest Golden Serpent 2016

Good catch, I have updated the instructions. Thanks!

It is one entry per category, though please note that "Painting - Open" category is only for non Lizardmen / Seraphon / Saurian Ancients and Salamanders models.

"Conversion - Open" is for all models.

The deadline is end of the day July 31st 2016. I hope that making it two months will give everyone plenty of time to get their entry completed.

Yes, please do

The voting will be for anonymous entries, this is to make certain people dont vote on an entry just due to member X created it. So it should not be an issue for any of you entering.

Yes, you can enter the "Painting" categories with it (which, depends what type of model it is). Just take the WIP picture before you start adding any more paint to it.

For the "Conversion" category, the WIP picture has to while it is being converted.

I have updated the competition information to clarify this.

Yes, you can enter the "Painting" categories with it (which, depends what type of model it is).

That is why we need to make certain to spread the knowledge of the competition to everyone that could have an interest of entering, if anyone visit other forums make certain to let them know about the competition.

The more entries we have, and publicity our sponsors get, the higher the chance of us getting more prizes next year as well. In addition, we might even get some new community members that stay behind after the competition is completed as well!

Feel free to enter the competition with the model your painting for the prize.

This is the spirit we are looking for!

Yes, but currently there is no real benefit. Ill try a last round of lobbying and see if I cant manage to get some additional prizes to add a Diorama category as well.

I am not sure, would depend on what type of diorama and what it showcase I guess. Though as mentioned above right now there is no real benefit of making one, other than doing it is awesome

Good question, I dont know, let me think some on it.

That was the idea, but I see how this can perhaps be to few. Changed the rules to say between three to six pictures (minimum three).

 

I would say the conversion/sculpt is the important part but pics of the model before and after conversion should be included.

 

Going back before this contest was launched, me @neveroddoreven and @Xlanax_lot were going to do a comp but we were asked by @The Red Devil to incorporate our comp, so I think we are judging this category and if so the painting won't be judged just the conversion.

But you can paint it if you want.

 

I am wondering if the best solution is allow up to two draw entries per person, where either of the Painting categories will count for one draw entry, and Conversion will count for one draw entry. That way there is an initiative to both convert a model and paint a model.

What do you guys think?

No, I believe the best approach here is that all images is with the model unpainted and unprimed.

Then after you have entered the model in the conversion category, you can paint it and enter it into the painting category if you want. That way you can enter two categories with the same model.

 

Yeah good idea

 

But you have WIP pictures?
