Thank you for the comments and kind words Paradigm, JoshInJapan and Gulgog TufToof.
I think I redid the eye at least three times as I was not happy with the veins, after which I realized that the first iteration was the best after all
Congrats for everyone on your hard work!

Congratulations to the winners, to all who finished painted something this month, and of course to the great host Paradigm (who makes this possible each month).
Sincerely,

Congratulations to the winners, excellent entries all round.

Though I get nowhere near the podium, I've had similar experiences. Some of my lowest-scoring entries last year were also the ones that I most enjoyed the process of creating. There's no accounting for taste, I suppose.
Freya wrote:There is a lot of credence to this point. I lose followers every day that I post non gw models on Instagram.
This is just puzzling. One of the things I like about this competition is the variety of subjects. In this round alone we had both classic and modern Citadel miniatures; characters from the Marvel, Biohazard and D&D franchises; an original sculpt and a historical model. It's more interesting than those parts of the mini painting internet where everyone just seems to paint whatever the latest GW release is.

Hi All
Just back from Holiday
The league table has been updated

JoshInJapan wrote:Wow, thanks for coming to my pity party, everyone. I appreciate your kind words to salve my bruised ego. I feel a little ridiculous for having reacted the way I did, and I plan to just keep doing what I've been doing (painting models for gaming), and at the same time find one thing to work on, as per Freya's suggestion.
Let's all keep at it, supporting each other on our respective hobby journeys!
I can understand the frustration especially when you have put a lot of work into something and not got the result you think they deserve.
They are very well painted, but you can only really see this when you open the pics and look at a bigger version
Some suggestions that might help if you don't mind (hopefully this thread isn't too old now so you see them)
- Increase the image size, (don't go to big) the dakka gallery auto changes any links to 600 px which is quite small, on the image page under "Share This Image:" there is a drop down for "recommended sizes" if you set it to a decent size before uploading you can then change it to that size so people can see what you have painted.
- You have used a very muted colour scheme with a few minor colours of small parts, black/grey and beige that do not jump out at people. Sometimes I use this website to help me with colour schemes https://paletton.com/#uid=21T0u0kjdkI9IuveNp4nigFsFbt
If you use the Hex code of your main colour (lots can be found on the Dakka Paints page https://www.dakkadakka.com/wiki/en/paint_range_compatibility_chart you can then see what colours compliment (click add complementary button) or contrast it which will help bring attention to your model
e.g. if you used Tallarn Sand then I would say Altdorf Guard Blue is the closest match for the complementary colour or you could use a triad and that gives you Macragge Blue and Naggaroth Night as the 2 other colours.
Hope that might be of use anyway

Thanks for the links and advice, Midget Gems. I'll have to give Paletton a try. In the time since I posted my little rant, I think I've gotten over it, or more correctly, gotten over myself. I plan to keep entering the challenge every month to get ideas from other hobbyists and as a tool to improve my work.
