Hello everyone! Welcome to the thread for the February Painting Challenge! This month you have chosen Monsters

Rules

If you are unsure as to whether something will be eligible for entry, just post asking or PM me and I will let you know whether or not you may use it, as this months challenge could be open to many different alternative figures.

2. To enter the painting challenge, the miniature you are painting must not be painted before starting and picture proof must be shown of the miniature 'pre-painted' (unprimed, undercoated or if you are repainting and old miniature - in its' original paint scheme) otherwise your entry will not be eligible.

3. You may join the painting challenge in progress at any time, but must submit photographs of the completed miniature by midnight GMT of February 28th 2013. WIP images are welcomed and encouraged. A maximum of 4 photos please, this allows you to show your miniature off from front, back and each side which is more than enough.

4. Miniatures that are completed in time will be eligible to win the challenge. The challenge winner will be decided by the vote of the OR community. The community will choose one winner and one runner-up from the completed miniatures. Votes should be cast not simply on painting skill, but on merit, including creativity, application of painting techniques, artist improvement, etc. There is no prize available for the winners of this challenge, the challenge is solely for community participation and as an incentive for people to reduce their backlog and improve their painting skills.

5. Winners from the previous month are able to participate in the next months painting challenge, but they are not eligible to win in consecutive months.

Good luck to all!

I would prefer to keep entries down to one monster per entry in interest of fairness. One exception that has been pointed out are The three trolls from the Hobbit range would be acceptable as one entry.

Only one monster? Oh, but I've got a dragon, fellbeast, Buhrdur, a cave troll and the Trolls ready to go... permission to paint as many as I can and then choose my favourite? :P

So long as you take proof pics you can paint as many as you like and then choose one to enter in the challenge.

Just to confirm, I can't take a photo of myself and submit that?

I guess it would depend on whether you are painted at the beginning of the challenge?

I might try Shelob again (she still counts as a monster, right?). Didn't even manage to assemble the legs for the previous monster challenge.

Here's the dragon, fellbeast, and Buhrdur... I'm leaning towards the Fellbeast atm, but I'll keep you posted!

But surely Tom, Bill and Bert are three separate monsters?

On a completely separate point, my two sons (one is 9 and the other is 12) would like to enter this month's competition (with a Hill Troll Chieftain Buhrdur and an Isengard Troll). Is it okay if I post their entries for them?
