Sadly, we jumped the gun by a few minutes posting this voting thread, and unfortunately we then had a last minute entry to the contest who did indeed get a picture submitted before the deadline.

That means this [i]new[/i] voting poll was started to make sure everyone all entries get a fair shake. If you voted in the first few minutes the thread was active you'll now need to re-vote.


Sorry about that snafu, and please resume voting!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/209836/268003.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/209836/268003.page GMT
This gives me so much hope for the future of the Dakka Painting Challenge, I can't wait to get the next one started! ^_^

The Ogryn is really sharp looking! Only something about the grey highlights holds me back. I think the grey highlights and wear marks on the armor should either: Have another layer, up to white at extreme points. Tone down the grey so the lines are not so think. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/209836/268119.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/209836/268119.page GMT
Ogryn or Ogrun? The Ogrun looks strangely familiar for some reason

I like the grot boss too. I think a better picture would have maybe done it justice.

The Ogryn looks Golden Daemon quality to me, not that I am an expert.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/209836/268124.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/209836/268124.page GMT

I've got a hunch grey_death did the ogryn, as he's got an eye for those photo inserts of particular up-close detail areas that aren't fully exposed in the single, frontal shot. That, and the cloth/skin tones look like his style.

I'm gonna guess the Grot Boss is Lemmingspawn's work. Clever idea, clean execution, and special attention to base details. [spoiler]That, and a very familiar marble countertop...[/spoiler]



That's all I've really got for guesses. But I really have to say, I was 100% ready to vote for Ork Boy (#6), the skin tone is great, and the grimey feel to the gun and armor fit the theme so well. Then I realized he had green ork flesh colored fingernails. Missed it by *that* much! Picking out the fingernails and perhaps the gauge on the side of the gun would have really put it over the top, as the picture chosen to display strongly features both those elements.

Great work all around though, some very excellent examples of what you can achieve in our hobby!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/209836/269392.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/209836/269392.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/209836/269610.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/209836/269610.page GMT
I 2nd this - the colours and style are similar to his storm troopers, and the lens over the eye is remarkably similar to the ones on his Tau comission.....

as for the others...havn't got that far, although the orc in blue mega armour looks familiar, I'm sure i've seen those colours used before on here somewhere.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/209836/269754.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/209836/269754.page GMT

My one vote came down to GD's ogryn and your ogrun Malf, and I ended up choosing GD's entry. If I had realized that I could vote for more than one choice ... I liked the color choice on your fig particularly, the darker skin was nicely done.
