Title: Veez Chronopia Painting Contest?
Post by: Veez on March 27, 2008, 05:41:33 AM: I would be willing to run a contest for Chronopia painters, but I would ask for a slightly better turnout than the Warzone one. The rules would be similar only a three month time and no need for fluff.

Any takers?
Title: Re: Veez Chronopia Painting Contest?
Post by: DogOWar on March 27, 2008, 06:23:32 AM: I would be willing. My skills are sub par, but it might get me to become a little more motivated.
Title: Re: Veez Chronopia Painting Contest?
Post by: Glenn M on March 27, 2008, 06:27:43 AM: No problems here. I'd be all over this.
Title: Re: Veez Chronopia Painting Contest?
Post by: PhillySniper on March 27, 2008, 07:34:02 AM: Count me in! I have a fig or two that ill do up!
Title: Re: Veez Chronopia Painting Contest?
Post by: joshuaslater on March 27, 2008, 08:19:28 AM: Well I crapped out on the Warzone one, as my Necromagus is still mostly primer on the desk. His cloak and skin are coming along nicely.

I will however, finish a squad of Wolf Clan Scouts for this. They're covered in black primer, and need some motivating to get done. Philly can vouch for me on their present pathetic condition.

I'm in if you'll have me.

Post by: pekulior on March 27, 2008, 06:51:56 PM: I wouldn't mind painting up a figure or two or something for it. I'll have to just acquire a few of my own.
Title: Re: Veez Chronopia Painting Contest?
Post by: Glenn M on March 27, 2008, 08:39:26 PM: Want some Dwarves ;)
I gots plenty.

Anyways, hopefully I'll get my Cyclop's Forge before the contest starts. I think I may do my Urjadeen Hero for it.

Post by: joshuaslater on April 07, 2008, 05:56:16 AM: I don't thinkwe'll hold your status of being a professional miniature painter against you, Thomas. This is an informal event, and we're happy to have lots of participants. Ultimately, Veez will be the final arbiter and judge, but I think he's more interested in firing all of us up to get painting.

I start this evening.
Title: Re: Veez Chronopia Painting Contest?
Post by: Glenn M on April 07, 2008, 04:50:25 PM: Rar, still waiting on my Urjadeen, but if he does not arrive soon, I do have a nice Crystal Knight who needs painted.

Heck, maybe I'll just submit my cave as a "figure", it is the innards of a Tenebrous Crawler :D

EDIT: Do we have any dates yet?
Title: Re: Veez Chronopia Painting Contest?
Post by: PhillySniper on April 08, 2008, 05:01:42 PM: I know Im hoping its isnt until May. That way I can unpack the figs to paint.
Title: Re: Veez Chronopia Painting Contest?
Post by: Veez on April 09, 2008, 11:00:34 AM: I will post the rules some time tomorrow.
Title: Re: Veez Chronopia Painting Contest?
Post by: joshuaslater on April 09, 2008, 11:02:22 AM: I'm'a start my Wolf Clan Scouts tonight. I can't let you guys down twice. I'll never hear the end of it.
Title: Re: Veez Chronopia Painting Contest?
Post by: Fremen on May 19, 2008, 01:06:18 PM: I know its probably too late in the day to get started on this, but I just found this thread. Did this ever get underway?

Post by: joshuaslater on May 22, 2008, 06:18:16 AM: Did you get my pm? I suppose I could have been more detailed in what I was entering. I plan on a Horned Ones Totem, and a squad of Wolf Clan Scouts.

Post by: joshuaslater on May 22, 2008, 08:36:17 AM: Thanks. I just put the Reaper master paint "Bone Shadow" down on the ram horns. Time to lighten up from there. So far, so good.

Just read this - Coil, how dare you usurp my powers of the bad joke and make folks think that I am not low-brow enough? ;)
Title: Re: Veez Chronopia Painting Contest?
Post by: Coil on June 02, 2008, 10:06:45 AM: So how are your entries coming along?

I have a Repulsar Lord almost finished and I may find the time to enter another model as well.
Title: Re: Veez Chronopia Painting Contest?
Post by: PhillySniper on June 03, 2008, 12:57:46 PM: I have not moved yet. I will be moving fathers day weekend. I forget what the deadline is but I wont be able to get started painting until at least the 18th of June.
Title: Re: Veez Chronopia Painting Contest?
Post by: Alxbates on June 03, 2008, 01:37:26 PM: Um... I've unpacked the minis I'll be using for the conversions, and I've looked at them?

heh... that's as far as I've gotten with them so far. Got a couple of other projects I need to do first (commission work and an article for TMP that I'm WAAAAAY late on).

Title: Re: Veez Chronopia Painting Contest?
Post by: Glenn M on June 03, 2008, 03:44:18 PM: I know, arrrggghhh, I just can't finish my guy with the dedication I want, I suppose it is time to roll out and half ass it.
Title: Re: Veez Chronopia Painting Contest?
Post by: joshuaslater on June 04, 2008, 09:18:29 AM: I plan on rolling out and full assing it!! I've got to really sit down and get to it. I'm within reach of entering two units and one individual if laziness doesn't win.

Give up now, you beat-nik. Ya know the laid back vibe you exude will interfere with overzealous painting....

Which is why I need to face you before you get your armies painted- I won't be able to have the Unpainted Rule on my side if you do and lately... I seem to be needed that sorta help..
Title: Re: Veez Chronopia Painting Contest?
Post by: joshuaslater on June 05, 2008, 06:58:18 AM: I know how ridiculous I can be John, but somehow it all works out. Tonight I'm at the desk. Last night was derailed by dinner with friends at Famous Dave's Barbecue. No activity after that meal but sittin' on the couch like a bloated middle aged dude. Yup, that's me.

:D :D :D :D

I know the feeling. Believe me, I know.
Title: Re: Veez Chronopia Painting Contest?
Post by: Fremen on June 06, 2008, 09:31:42 AM: Wow, I've been so lethargic the last few days, I have trouble even watching TV it seems. That may be a bad sign as I'm really getting behind on this contest. Some of you seem pretty close to done already! However, I made great strides (considering the nothingness that came before), and actually primed the guys I want to get done yesterday. I need to build some momentum.
Title: Re: Veez Chronopia Painting Contest?
Post by: joshuaslater on June 06, 2008, 03:50:24 PM: Well I'm trying to finish off my Helios Axemen, as they seem to be the ones screaming to actually be finished. I think I can, ad nauseum.
Title: Re: Veez Chronopia Painting Contest?
Post by: Glenn M on June 06, 2008, 04:54:07 PM: I thought it was the 5th they had to be done by, so mine is done save basing.
Title: Re: Veez Chronopia Painting Contest?
Post by: pekulior on June 10, 2008, 01:52:32 AM: The time is slowly creeping up I see. I will have to get into gear to get stuff finished. It will be a nice change of pace getting to paint something for fun instead of work. I'm really looking forward to it.
Title: Re: Veez Chronopia Painting Contest?
Post by: Coil on June 10, 2008, 11:34:44 AM: I've got the first mini painted up and ready and started with a nice little scenic base for it during the weekend. After spraying the base black and leaving it to dry on the lawn I proceeded by forgetting to bring it with me back to town (was in the summerhouse). So now my cool little diorama is outside on the lawn. I hope it doesn't rain. :)
Title: Re: Veez Chronopia Painting Contest?
Post by: pekulior on June 10, 2008, 02:08:56 PM: ouch that sucks.

i found out the other day not to trust leaving my primed minis outside to dry. i went out to get a bunch of models for a project i'm working on and couldn't find them. after some looking, i noticed the wind had caught the board i was using to prime them on in my spray booth and threw 'em on my driveway. luckily there were only minor repairs that needed to be made. i was outside at 3am for about an hour looking through the dark and under cars with one of my lights for my photo booth attached to an extension cord while the wind was trying to blow me away and it was starting to rain. i'll tell ya....that was fun. *grumble*

anyway, it looks like i'll be painting some devout for the contest.
Title: Re: Veez Chronopia Painting Contest?
Post by: Coil on June 15, 2008, 08:05:55 AM: Fortunately it hasn't rained very much this week so my little Hirst Art scene survived but id did pick up some moisture from being outside on the lawn so I had to put in the oven on low heat for a while.

So now my little project is almost complete. I'll just add a couple of pieces of flair to the base and I'm done.

Maybe I'll paint up another mini since I have all this time to the deadline.
Title: Re: Veez Chronopia Painting Contest?
Post by: DogOWar on June 17, 2008, 08:49:20 AM: Good luck to all the contestants! Its nice to have something going on these days on the ol' forum. Thanks to Veez and a little karma to.
