Lol I have that bookmarked lol. I actually got paynes grey after reading that to try and replace badab black but paynes has a blue hue to it so it's not really as versatile as badab black. But yeah, stuff like that is cool to read up on and try after seeing results online and deciding weather it fits their task.

Awesome! I promised Aduro a tutorial almost a year ago... Now I've got the models and started the beginnings of it, maybe it will pay off!

Wouldn't it make more sense if we submitted our tutorials to the Yak, who then posted them anonymously for us? That way users who are already popular wouldn't have an unfair advantage.

With a contest like this one, it really benefits the organizer (yakface) to just leave the contest as is! It could end up being way more work on Yaks end otherwise.
This set up will work out just fine I believe. And could definitely open the doors a bit for more diverse contests because of it!

Interesting thought (the anonymity one).

Weyland games is based in the UK and since you'd be purchasing using 130 BGP, the pricing would approximate what you'd spend in ISK after conversion rates...

All our other challenges have been anonymous but as has been said, that really isn't a workable scenario for this particular contest. Not only would it be way, way, way too much work for me to handle, it would also be impossible to change the tutorials 'over' to the users who created them. Which means those tutorials would always be counted as my posts. Even if I put the 'credit' for who made them in those posts, its never the same (as you can't search for them by user later, etc).
Besides, the goal is mostly get more people interested in this forum and helping each other out with tutorials, so winning the prize is ultimately just a nice bonus for someone!

This isn't just about painting, right? I wouldn't say I'm a strong painter, but love the modeling aspect. So is the overall winner determined on the entire post (painting and modeling) or is this going to be the "best painted" model?

Well, the contest is focused on the tutorial, so how well you can teach someone how to do something. I imagine the winner will be the person who can write a clear tutorial on a subject that has broad appeal.

It's the best "tutorial", so it doesn't even necessarily need to feature a painted model, it could just be about modeling.
To win it likely needs to be about an interesting topic, needs to feature well shot photography, needs to clearly define the steps and just generally be informative and useful.

This contest is certainly generating some good stuff. Although, with that prize it's not surprizing. I like the difference between the two different organizations I know of which hold modeling and painting competitions. One, a huge international corporation, holds a competition, and the prize is a little statue thingy. The other, a small internet forum, holds a competition offering $200 bucks to the winner.

- American Pastoral, Philip Roth
Oh, Death was never enemy of ours!
We laughed at him, we leagued with him, old chum.
No soldier's paid to kick against His powers.
We laughed - knowing that better men would come,
And greater wars: when each proud fighter brags
He wars on Death, for lives; not men, for flags. |
