That looks great Bruticus!!

Heh Looks like Ill come just under the wire- put more details on my terrain pieces, as well as green on the cacti.



The spanish moss turned out to look like gak (you can see a little left on the dead tree thingy on the small cliff), so I think Ill be leaving it off till a more suitable option comes available.

See ya tomorrow!

Aaaaand Im done!







The pics seem to have washed the colors out a bit, but its passable. For instance, the sand is a rather nice rusty Mars-like color.

Heh. Its nice to actually finish something Ive started for these contests xD Good luck everyone!

Ok all the judges are in. Out of the final entries, Bruticus, Ramos Asura and Cataphractii (just used the pictures you posted for judging) the consensus is that Bruticus is the winner!

Congratulations!

This entry was chosen because of the great attention to detail, the great variety of plantlife modelled (many varieties of leaf, fungi and different textures) and painted to fit the display, integration into the environment in a believable way (plants growing out of cracks, in corners and such, around the openings of the tank), and overall grimdark coolness. It is truly the work of a master Shrubber!

I will be giving out the secondary prize of a servo spider skull, I'm just waiting to hear back from one of the judges to see who that is going to so stay tuned!

In any case, I'd just like to thank everyone that contributed to the thread... and I hope to continue posting here with vegetative experiments of League, that can eventually be turned into a good article.

Thanks everyone!

Thanks everyone, that's great. Although it is a bit of a shame there were not many entries I was really determined to give a good entry anyway because I really wanted to win that amazing prize. I've always been a fan of Meade's chaos monstrosities so I was prepared to pull out all the stops to try and get my hands on one. It's going to be scuttling around the Underhive soon.

I'll put a new competition up soon.

Yeah, congratz once again Bruticus and thanks to everyone else!

I'd like to announce the winner of the secondary prize... Cataphractii!

This decision was SUPER HARD between Cat and Ramos Asura... but there are only so many servo spider skulls in the world... so congratulations Cataphractii! You took some simple ingredients and turned it into something even more awesome. Thanks for all the contributions to the thread! I'll PM you and ask for your address so you may receive your prize.

I dont even feel remotely down about losing to Bruticus and cat- Honestly I'm totally floored that I was even in the same range as either of them. Especially Cat's temple- It just looked so.... perfect to me. Not to mention a huge undertaking!

Great stuff you guys! See ya in the next Comp!
