I challenge thee

[Eodred]

I Eodred, winner of the Astronomican Halloween Competition (http://www.astronomican.com/showthread.php?9008-The-Halloween-contest-the-results&p=127163&mode=linear#post127163), challenge japehlio to single painterly combat.

One unconverted model painted from scratch between now and the 31st of July, do you accept?


Or are you a not man enough? :devil:



Cheers
E

[japehlio]

<pulls up a chair and sips on a margarita> This should be fun :-P

[japehlio]

[Whats that there?
Pherion, do you have a margarita?

I hope you brought enough for everyone!]

[Pherion]

Contestants can't drink! You're painting will go all over the place! Remember you have to stay inside the lines (wow thats an old comercial now!).

[Eodred]

Actually I find that whiskey usually improves my painting ability, due to getting more blood in to my fingers :p

On that note, share :grin:

[Eodred]

@jap arm change is fine as long as it doesn't need any green stuff.


Cheers
E

[Pherion]

<Jelously hides the 12 gallons of margarita he has buried under his chair>

<tosses a lime to Eodred> Here ya go!

[Consadine]

Pherion, trade you alcohol for salsa.

Come on, you two, bring on the WIP shots!

[japehlio]

Fine, Fine, I shall paint up Veteran Sergeant Hofniel (The "Fighter of God")

Simple sword swap, using one of the spare Glaive Encarmines from the Sanguinary Guard box...

[Eodred]

"What's his name" is still in the cleaning process, though there is a bit on his jump pack that I can't make head nor tail of.


Cheers
E

[japehlio]

Show us, which bit?

[Pherion]

Pherion, trade you alcohol for salsa.!

Trade ya a gallon for a gallon? Got chips?

Where what looks like a purity seal crosses the chain, there's all sorts of oddness and I can't tell what's going on, surely the parchment isn't that long?
It looks like it goes from right up at the top of the cylinder but surely that can't be, am I as mad as I seem typing this?

[Nomad]

Black ink it so the detail stands out. Post a pic of the whole model. I can't even tell what it is, beyond a lump of metal.

Cons, trade you some salsa for a beer?

C'mon ya gits get some progress happening. ;)

[japehlio]

shut it! I only started yesterday!!!

[Nomad]

shut it! I only started yesterday!!!

Bloody hell, you are good. According to my time you only were challenged today. Ah, I forget. Australia is ahead of the world...

Slow though. That's a full 20 hours you've had to finish... I expect a GD quality entry for that amount of time.

Hey, Pherion, swap a beer for a marg?

[japehlio]

Me? GD? yah lol

[Artsoldier35]

Nomad: You should be asking Pherion for the Salsa and Cons for the beer. I'm liking your pic of a model though.

[Eodred]

Figured out what that bit was and painting commenced yesterday.


Cheers
E

[Eodred]

I have a question, read on to help, please, it's little desperate time wise.

Evening (feels like it for me anyway), I didn't get round to doing much painting before last night and the comp is at 1pm today, so chalk that up as a sacrifice of sleep for the plastic gods :grin:

Still wip but almost finished:

Sorry about the distance forgot to crop them and no time now.

So question: he has no eyes sculpted, so do I a leave black holes or B, put one white dot in each hole.

You have until 12pm GMT, get voting people :grin:

I have a few in between shots, for those that are interested but not the time right now, oh and that's pretty much one nights work.


Cheers (a sli8ghtly frazzled)
E

[Eodred]

Anybody? Help? Please?

[Marticus]

i wopuld leave black holes... looks good and menacing.. maybe a red touch int here too to look creepy and also show the lens for vision. ummm thats all i got since i dont dabble in marines sorry dude

[Eodred]

Thanks for the input mart, but I'd left by then :grin:

Well, as it stands I'm the only entrant in the store comp at the mo, my mate that works there'll give me a text if there's no other entrants in the next hour, then it's an auto win :confused:

Which will mean I've will have at least two entries in the sept overall winner draw with a big prize apparently.


As to the model, twas left with black holes mart, he hasn't got any lenses in there to paint btw that was what I meant, sorry if twas not clear enough, I really could do with some sleep oddly enough, been up about 30 hours. Wrong place but I care not.


You see, ever so slightly incoherent, when tired.


As to the original purpose of this thread, how're you getting on Japh?


Cheers
E

[japehlio]

Bugger its the 31st aint it? Rightho, will get painting prompto, had a nightclub based party last night till 4AM, and another family do today so Im a bit frazzled, but ill see what I can do mate!

[Consadine]

Apparently there are lenses in there if you look at the GW Studio model. (http://www.games-workshop.com/MEDIA_CustomProductCatalog/m990091a_99060101454_BALemartes1_873x627.jpg)

[Eodred]

You can have a few more days if you want mate, wil give me chance to get my camera down to the GW for some finished pics.

@ Cons, interesting, you really can't see anything other than a flat square hole on the model (or at least I can't, instead of the normal raised lenses on normal marines, but still I got it doneish and it won so nevermind eh :grin:

Would you be interested in a one on one challenge cons?


Cheers
E

[Eodred]

Well we've both got our models finished (or as finished as we're going to get them), so can anybody tell me how to put up a poll so we can find the winner?


Cheers
E

Ladies, Gentlemen and Consadine :p

The poll is now up for you to vote.


Cheers
E

[japehlio]

Congrats E, looks like you is a clear winner!!!

[Eodred]

Still a few days left for people to vote, so don't count your bristles just yet.


Cheers

[Skringly]

Was that black done with your usual method of grays?

[Eodred]

It was mate yes, why?


Cheers
E

[Skringly]

Because I may have to borrow the idea. I like the idea of producing awesome looking models like that chaplian aswell. ;)

[Eodred]

Well then, thank you very much :grin:
Give me a point in the direction of a pic when you've got it done.

It also happens to be quick and easy and Jap himself is now a convert as well, so it can't be bad :grin:



Cheers
E

[Skringly]

Just as long as it doesn't form some weird painting cult of sorts. :shocked::silly::happy:

[Eodred]

Njhoowh, but that's what I'd always wanted :sad:
