Don’t start painting yet

I’m putting this thread up a month early to help spread the news. You can post this link on social media, discord groups, facebook, or however else you want to spread the word. The goal is to get the best turnout we can. Old faces returning and/or new blood just starting out. This is still a monthly comp, so don’t take this advance post as a starting gun. It will run in June. On the bright side, May’s topic is “Mistakes were Made” so if you end up starting your June entry early, just head over to the May topic and post your proof/WIPs over there. (This was not intentional by the way, just works out nicely)

While we wait for June to start, we can post proof pictures, chat about ideas of what to paint, and look back over the years we’ve been doing this thing! To everyone joining us, welcome aboard and thank you.
