Ok, got her primed and sculpted the base

Now to paint her up!

Great entries so far folks.... Hope I can match the standard.

**OLDCell**

I've got 3 models not sure which one to pick and don't think I can paint all 3 in 10 days. I'm posting up pics for all 3 date stamped and I will of course only be entering one which
will have to be a surprise come closing day.

So who to pick...

Colette Du Bois

Desperate Merc

Mad Hatter

Resurrectionist nurse :
(unpainted one)

(finished Product)

sorry for the big photos.

thanks

**inmygravenimage**

Wowser. That's outstanding. The detailing on the syringe is particularly impressive.

**zesto2012**

thanks inmygravenimage

it took me a whole day just to paint those lines and i ended up repainting it over and over again till i got it right

**inmygravenimage**

Really? Wow. I assumed you'd used a micron pen or similar. All the more impressed.

**zesto2012**

i used a fine detail brush for it it's much more accurate than a micropen

**Wildchevy**

Here is my finished piece.
I'm calling it "Party Crasher"

**Rameses**

I'm really digging the flame effect on Sonnia's attack!

**helium42**

Wildcherry, that flaming skull shooting out from her hand is the bee's knees!

**Cutthroatcure**

That nurse and Sonnia are looking amazing! Great job guys

2 days till the dealine...Lets keep those brushes moving! Get your entrys up and going and lets see those awesome models!

**helium42**

Getting in at the deadline. I apologize in advance for the shoddy camera-work. All of the entries I've seen so far have been fantastic.

**Ifalna**

Hiya Helium, does your camera have a macro setting? It usually looks like a small flower symbol.

**Cutthroatcure**

Yeah you have until tomorrow at Midnight to try and get a better Picture because the current one is just not showing off the detail I can sort of make out!
Ifalna Makes a good point

**Fango**

Hey all, finished just in the nick of time. Everyone is doing an awesome job! Hope mine stands up to the rest,

**helium42**

@Ifalna and Cutthroatcure: My main problem is lack of a proper camera. I took some shots with my phone and some with an iPod and these were the best I came up with. I understand the shots keep my entry from being judged because of the fuzziness but I wanted to post them anyway just to show my support and enthusiasm for the contest. Perhaps the next time we have one of these contests I'll borrow a good camera from a friend and get some proper pictures taken.

I'm looking forward to seeing who wins the contest though. There are some really killer entries and I'm sure the judges will have a hard time choosing a winner.

**SagesStone**

I'd still keep trying, see if you can get a decent picture up. Already put the effort in after all.

Yeah, I would keep trying, from what I can see the paint job looks great, awesome work on the base as well. Try backing the camera up away from the mini, most 'phone' type cameras don't focus well that close up. Also, they tend to blur if you don't keep them perfectly still....try resting the camera on a box, or a small stack of books when taking the photo, see if that helps.

**Ifalna**

Aye, you have clearly gone to effort for this and it will be a total shame to not be able to get a decent shot :(

Any digi-cam you can get a loan of from a friend will make a huge improvement, even a bargain basement €10 one.

If you can't, try taking a distance shot. Place the mini and move your phone backwards till it is in focus, don't go for the close up shot thinking it will be better, phone cams rarely have macro.

**Forgotmytea**

I doubt I'll be able to finish Seamus on time, at least not to the standard I'd like

Will try and hammer through some painting tonight while the Walking Dead's on (appropriate...)

**Forgotmytea**

Good grief my photography needs work. One of these days I'm taking a course or something!

Ben

**Cutthroatcure**

Competition is over, I want to thank everyone for their participation!

Now i will give the judges the go ahead and a few days (They are busy too) to properly judge and give me the results!

**Rameses**

Good luck to everyone! There are some totally talented painters here.

**Cutthroatcure**

Ok LAdies and Gents, to make this easier on the judges i am going to compile a post of all our final entries for you to oh and aw at!

**Cutthroatcure**

I want to apologize for the wait, one of our judges is having some family health issues and will get his scoring back to me asap...

Thank you for your Patience!

**ICleadpeople**

Will there be a voting thread for these?

**SagesStone**

I think it's just the judges, but a people's choice would be sort of a nice addition. Sort of as an on the side thing. Up to them of course though.
