Hi and welcome to the June Painting Challenge. This month you have chosen


The ELVEN HAVENS

Image


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.

This will be a single miniature chalenge

1.To complete the challenge an elven themed miniature must be completed by June 30th.

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 miniatures '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 June 30th 2013. WIP images are welcomed and encouraged. A maximum of 4 photos of your completed entries please, this allows you to show your miniature off from multiple angles.

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

A double proof pic :D Erestor and Glorfindel armoured. I'll probably paint both and enter the one I like the best.

I don't know yet which one I will paint. Preferably all four so I have choice (and most importantly can use them in a game!).

Blast. I just finished my Wood Elf Cavalry, and have some paint on Legolas already. I'll see if I still have anything else to be done...

At the end, I may chicken out, as I don't have a camera really up to the task of miniature photography.

a quick WIP pic of glofindel. Decided to paint him because he has a cloak and cloaks are cool.

Image

Edit: The finished article :D

Finished Glorfindel last night for the painting challenge, must be a new PB for quickest completed model. It is a truly gorgeous model.

I wonder.. wasn't this challenge the one with minis primed in white? Or do I err with that?
