Here was my main entry for the Gencon MHE competition this year. Every year, I spend a lot of time painting a few minis, then enter any gaming miniatures I have that fit the categories.

He got a gold award from the main competition, received a judge's choice award, and took home the 4th place Dark Sword trophy.

I really love this mini- the biggest trouble I had painting him up was that Jim (owner of Darksword) owns a fantastic version of him painted by Zach Lanier.

A lot of the decisions that I made on him kept this sort of meta-thinking in mind (ie, when Jim and Jess were judging the contest, I didn't want them to be comparing him to Zach's mini too much).

I think I came out with an interpretation of this mini that is all my own.

I've also posted him to Coolmini, for anyone who cares to vote.

Nice work.

Ugh. Stop making feel bad about my painting! No, but seriously this is epic.

Thanks. I was pretty pleased with him.
