Welcome to the August painting challenge. This months subject will be banners.

*This will be a single miniature challenge. and the model must be carrying a banner.

1. 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.

2. You may join the painting challenge in progress at any time, but must submit photographs of the completed miniature by midnight GMT of AUG 31st 2017. WIP images are welcomed and encouraged. A maximum of 4 photos of your completed entries please, this allows you to show your miniatures off from front, back and each side which is more than enough. If you would like to compile more than four pictures into one file it is ok to do that

3. 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.

4. With the introduction of The League Winners from the previous month are now eligible to enter and win consecutive challenges without penalty.

Good luck and have fun!

So ive recently decided to take up the hobby again after a 6 year or so break. And i thought it could be fun to enter the competition. I hope i understood the rules... so i have decided on painting my old Gamling (gamling means old in my language) with banner. So this is the before picture. https://image.ibb.co/cf3az5/21124150_15 ... 0702_n.jpg

Not going to get around to finishing my uruk banner this month

Really bums me out because I've been keeping an eye on the challenges waiting for something that I have! I'll be back and may post my finished mini whenever I get around to it. Best of luck to everyone else!

Argh.. Too late!
I just finished mine in high-speed but it doesn't look so good in all honesty.
2bad my girlfriend threw away my selfmade cardboard lightbox... She thought it was garbage... So I can't really make a good picture anyway.

Gz to Joshuar.
