Couldn't agree more, you get some of the best feedback on the Wyrd contests.

I've only based 1 figure so far, I am pretty happy with the result and it only took me 12 minutes to do it after the initial ink on primer had dried.  I was dreading it but it all went really easy and just came together without any effort.  Cant show a pic of it as its my 54mm Orc for that Group Contest but will do soon

I agree its the taking part that counts but in the same breath I dont want to submit something thats just gonna get laughed at.  I am almost at that stage where I am comfortable doing all parts of the figs and it shows as I am entering the 54mm contest and never entered a painting contest b4 so confidence is creeping up.  I'll be there soon I think but not just yet   :icon_wink:

That never happens on Wyrd and your painting is beyond a lot of the entrants. Have a peruse of some of the contest galleries.

From seeing pics I've posted and other people have I've learnt that small mistakes arent spotted too much and are more noticeable by the painter than anyone.  I've not noticed parts of the fig the painter hasnt been happy with until hes pointed them out to me.  Being the painter you are always gonna know where each bit you arent happy with is....

I'll have to have a looksie at the entrants and hopefully it will give me some confidence but looking at Wristys entry I wont stand a chance of winning !!!  Didnt see what you entered Gi6ers.  If the average quality is anything like that then I will enter the under 10 year old section I think  :icon_w00t:  I'll do my best to get an entry in for Halloween if I think I can match the average.  In the last year my paining has improved more than it did in the previous 20 so 3 months time may be time enough mate

I'm better than some but not as good as others so yeah midtable is good enough for me :perv:

Once this tower and 54mm fig done I will look into the halloween contest.  Cheers for links Wristy :icon_w00t:
