The results of the June 2010 Painting Competition are in!
First off, I'd like to thank all those who participated in this event. It's a difficult and brave thing to submit your artistic work to the scrutiny of your peers, let alone a panel of judges, and everyone put forth a great effort!
Secondly, I'd like to thank the two judges who assisted me in this tough decision They were able to point out the subtle nuances that separate the models that are very difficult for the untrained eye to identify. Judges Sue R. and Seb J. are both VERY experienced painters, probably two of the best that I personally know, and thankfully their careful eyes were able to make the hard choice of picking the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place models a lot easier.
The top three models are:
1st Place ($65 store credit)
David Haber-Mattie's Warlord Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka
2nd Place ($40 store credit)
Matt Susalka's Wolf Guard Halfdan the Black
3rd Place ($25 store credit)
Paul Gaughran's Black Templar High Marshall HelbrechtAll entrants did a great job and we hope that you'll shoot for the top spot again in one of our future painting competitions.
All of the submissions are available for permanent viewing in our website art gallery, as well as at the store for a limited time. You can see them all here:
http://www.battlegroundgames.com/community_artgallery_jun2010.htmlUpon request, models not in the top three can have an e-mailed list of suggestions on what types of techniques you should focus on to achieve a higher placement in future competitions. These lists were put together by the judges and were used to influence their opinion on which models were picked for the top three.
Model submissions may be picked up from the store at your discretion, but we'd like to display them all for at least another week if you have no immediate need to take it back.
Thanks again everyone!
