OMG weety that's just ridiculously brilliant. Not fair. Ban him he's 15 seconds too late surely. please, somebody. Ok just give him the prize for blooming heck sake.

ahem...her

Lulz. Thanks giraffex for pointing that one out - although I liked everything else Camkierhi said!

truly sorry, did not know you where so inflicted. Humble apologies.

Hours left!?

Oh hell... here I thought Id have tomorrow to work on it too!

I may not make it in time, which is sad.


How many hours, then?

Eastern US time says ive got less than 8 before the 9th hits.....

Rules say midnight of the 9th.

Aye, so ive read ... i guess I just kinda automatically registered that as being tomorrow night. Blast!

Similarly unhelpful was me losing track of days this weekend and thinking that -Friday- was the 9th xD (turns out thats the day of a career fair I was planning on attending)


One of my concerns was timezones (one of the problems with a multinational competition, yeah?) as 12 midnight here might be too late if we were going, say, by GMT (in which case id have less than an hour and a half, i think)

As usual, Im probably overthinking things. Feel free to throw stuff at me.

Wow. That's one ridiculously impressive face, and in such a short time too. Well done dude.

wait...can i join this comp? With a just finished mini?
is it too late?

Sorry i simply was too lazy to read any rules :/

Bebop

I reckon you've got a cliffhanger race to upload pics and email them to nerdfest on! Swiftly now.

whelp! I emailed and sent my pics in. its 7pm here in nyc so i think i got in ok?? Not sure:/ Heres my entry if it counts, if not good luck everyone and see you guys on the next one!





good luck guys all these entries are fantastic!

Bebop you should be alright if you chuck up some WIPs from the beginning. And IIRC you did start this mini within the last month right?

Yup i did. i got all the wip pics too, they are on my plog and i can easily transfer them over. where should i post the wip just here too? edit: just in case these too need to be in before midnight. here are WIP pics








sorry if thats too many. its probably kinda obnoxious that i photobombed at the last second. but i literally just saw this thread :/ and we are all friends here anyways

Samurai IG.
Veteran SGT WIP (prior to GSing the shoulders so the hero-scale arms fit the true-scale body...every model was GSed in this manner):


3 Veteran Sgts completed. Sashimono (banner) symbols and clothing color distinguish the units:




Complete Vet Squad:

Stellar work bebop... that marble is crazy good.

@ dkellyj They look great, loving the samurai theme.

Having seen Weety and Bebops, wish I had not bothered now


Still always third prize to go for guy's.

Gits thanks

Cam dont feel that way mate! You are a talented painter and heart goes a long way! We all start somewhere and youll only get stronger with mates like us around Be proud of your work

*chuckle*

Now THAT'S incentive!

Perhaps if you could convince the Nerdwench to do the same... that might "stimulate" some activity amongst the faithful.

Hey Nerdy did you get my email w/photos i sent? I know it didn't send the first time and i just want to confirm that the 2nd one did send.
Just the thought of it maybe not having got through is making me kinda anxious...

Hi Nerdfest! great idea mate! I'll be entering a commission peace I did recently ^___^ its WIP atm.

Well I am still stuck with a basecoated model here so I think I am pretty much out of the comp! Stellar work by all though, I especially like your missionary Bebop, lots of detail throughout the model from the cloth to the parchment to that amazing marble effect.

Bit disappointed that I couldn't finish in time but on the plus side I think I aced both my midterms today.

It's the small victories that count eh CC?

Never before have I seen washes dry so slowly!

Im nearly finished with my entry- should manage to come in just under the wire!


And dont worry CC- Ya may not be able to win em all, but the ones you do win are all the sweeter ^^
Hope to see you in future contests!
