Post subject: | [S&C] Jan-Mar Challenge "The Desolation of Smaug" |
Welcome to the Bi-monthly Sculpting and Converting challenge. This time the subject matter will fall under.... In this challenge you have several options to take part: - Sculpt from scratch (starting with or without armature/metal wire/...) - Convert an existing miniature (to a new or another character or race/region, to change it's situation, rank, pose, wargear, ...) You may sculpt/convert more than one character should you choose to do so but please bear in mind only 4 finished pictures can be submit for the vote. Only one entry per person per challenge. So choose carefully! 2. To enter the Sculpting & Converting Challenge, the miniature you are converting must not be converted nor painted before starting and picture proof must be shown of the miniature 'pre-converted'. Re-converting an already converted miniature is NOT allowed!! When sculpting from scratch, you must picture proof this with your blank armature/metal wire/... aswell as a work-in-progress-picture as valid proof. All "proof-pictures" MUST either have the announcement-screen of the running challenge in it's background, or contain a small note with the announced theme and date written on. 3. You may join the Sculpting & Converting Challenge in progress at any time, but must submit photographs of your completed work by midnight GMT of MARCH 31ST 2013 . WIP images are welcomed and encouraged. You are allowed to use any sort of sculpting epoxy, aswell as scratchbuild materials (such as metal wire, plasticard, rivets, chains, ...). You are allowed to use parts from other miniatures (such as weapons, heads, banners, arms, horses, ...). Your final work must stay UNPAINTED and contain 4 pictures; showing FRONT, BACK, LEFT and RIGHT side. 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 sculpts/conversions. Votes should be cast not simply on sculpting skill, but on merit, including creativity, application of techniques, artist improvement, originality 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 improve their sculpting skills and to encourage creativity onto their shelves. 5. Winners from the previous month are able to participate in the next months Sculpting & Converting Challenge, but they are not eligible to win in consecutive months. |

That's pretty cool...might attempt that myself at some point. Well I had done a narzug mtd conversion but I painted that because I got bored waiting and needed it for a tournament. I also just converted a hunter orc captain but forgot to take a proof picture of my bitz box. These are the only photos I have of Narzug, I'll delve into my phone and see if I can find the proof picture I took of him. |

Well, congratulations Joshuar_au! As this challenges only legal entry you win Kudos to SouthernDunedain for his excellent conversions, but unfortunately with no proof pics fell ineligible. The next challenge will have no theme or restrictions on creativity. Hopefully this will encourage more entries. I have come to the conclusion that the subject poll system does not work. Too many non sculptors vote for what they want to see with no intention of entering, whilst the sculptors who do not get the result they were looking for sit out the challenge as it isn't something they want to do at that point in time. |

That's a great looking conversion! He'd need an alternate profile to fit his abilities |

Wonderfull conversion, you didnt add that much, but it makes a whole different miniautre, also a good way to make him look a bit more dangerous |
