Announcing the Top 12 of the CA3D Painting Contest!

Dear CA3D Community,

We are thrilled to announce the top 12 finalists of our CA3D Painting Contest! Initially, we planned to select a top 10, but with so many incredible entries, we had to extend it to 12. Your creativity and talent have truly amazed us.

Here are the top 12 finalists:

Each of these artists has demonstrated extraordinary skill and passion in their work. We cannot wait to see who will take the top spots!

Our friend Groundeffected will reveal the top 3 and the grand winner in a special video on July 4th, 2024. Stay tuned for the exciting announcement!

Thank you to everyone who participated and made this contest a success. Your dedication and artistry continue to inspire us.

Best of luck to our finalists!

Warm regards,
The CA3D Team

This right here.

I submitted my model for the competition and I still have no idea if it was accepted. I never saw it shared on the CA instagram. I was hoping to at least compete I have no idea if mine was involved. I followed all the rules too. My suggestion is to find a way to acknowledge participants by tagging them I suppose… I realize that’s a daunting task but reviewing each one is probably far more of a challenge. Congratulations to each winner. Well done by each one.

Minis and full scale statues just don't belong in competition together. There should be separate categories or a predetermined scale for the contest. The techniques used, and therefore the end results, are so vastly different along with people's tastes (I 100% prefer the look of a full statue over the "mini-technique" look). This was the biggest criticism everyone had of the last contest and clearly still is. Love the models but the rules, or lack thereof, for these contests just seem to create strife in the community, which is why I didn't bother. Plus the fact that Dad won't even see most of the models that people thought he would be judging, is a bummer. Just my two cents...

Daniel Hampton

Damn! Amazing quality! They look awesome! It's inspiring to see how people approach their own painting styles. Great work everyone!

Gelik

Does anyone know?

Daniel Henry

Hey CA3D - maybe make a gallery of all the entries/runners up? May be nice for all the painters :)

James B

I think is wrong to say that if they are bigger scales they have "less soul in the painting". Painting minis and painting bigger scales is way different and it has a different style as the size is taken into consideration. Both has their difficulties and their charm.

Skully

Very happy to see my dark lady among the finalists, much encouragement to the judge in his task and good luck to everyone, they are all very beautiful pieces.

Toni Garcia Crespo

What a great jobs! Best of luck to everyone, the competition is going to be tight!

ekkius

Aaaa why do I have here the wip and not the final version? 😭 I posted final on IG at Thursday, can you fix it please? https://www.instagram.com/p/C8czP_xi_3n/?igsh=MWtjbGNxaW5iaG5wdQ==

My boyfriend made a 1/4 scale and did not made it to the finalists. But there were very good entries. https://www.instagram.com/p/C8k1aoWChpF/?igsh=M3UxbWg3cmpkaXlq

Beatriz Holtreman

congratulations to everyone. really nice works. in my opinion, however, my Kratos was more beautiful and elaborate. but have you taken it into consideration? respect for everyone! https://www.instagram.com/reel/C8ck2uCtwsl/?igsh=MTZ2ZzR2NjdrcXNkaQ==

Gabriele Temperini

I cannot understand how vasdeminiatures, bluefangs_ or marnyminiatures did not made the cut and those Guts, Kratos or Venom and Spider did. Much larger scales and less soul in the painting

Grim Fandango

Got to be Morrigan! Thanks ca 3d for hosting

James B

Un certo Cesare disse: de gustibus non est disputandum...

Luca Artein

I love the Spawn but all entries that have been selected are incredible!

CRAIG JOHNSON

Congratulations to all the finalists. Just one question though, where is that Centaur model from though? I thought all entries must be a CA3D model and I can't say I've seen it before.

Daniel Henry

Amazing entries. Looking forward to the next one.

Musick

Although you didn't make it to the finalists this time, there were many incredible entries. Keep up the great work! Also, don't worry— we'll be hosting another competition later this year, so stay tuned for more opportunities!

Carlos Eduardo

The friends of the admins 😛

Cris Petos

Wow they r all insanely good. Some of that OSL is out of this world. Well done all!

Drakanis

He is choosing the winner lol

I made a post on Instagram on June 22nd but I don’t see my work in the list of finalists. Does that mean that I did not pass the initial round? I painted the amazing Artemis model, here is my post https://www.instagram.com/p/C8izq27tgSw/?igsh=MWQ1ZGUxMzBkMA== Thank you!

Artem Petrov

I don't see this top 12 thing in the contest rules. They make it sound like groundeffected is choosing the winner, and with no other rules about that it sounds like he would judge all the entries. Not that he is being given a preselected list to choose from.

Crowbar

Awesome work! That just means I need to get better 🎨🖌✨️👏

Juanny

That morrigan is next level

Cozysocks

We received dozens of entries, all with incredible paint jobs. We will definitely be holding more competitions in the future to give more people the opportunity to showcase their talents.

Carlos Eduardo

Thought the same :/

Rodrigo Perez

Ok.... i thought we had until today to post the figure

Rodrigo Perez

Looks great. Lots of awesome paint jobs. How many entries were there? The way Instagram display tags these days makes it hard to see everything.

Donald Johansson

Excellent work from all!

Sam T.

Damn I thought we had till the end of the day on the 24th to get the entry in... oh well hahaha

Travis Norton

I love how they look but I am a little disappointed that most of them are minis 😮‍💨

Skully

Amazing artist for sure. And I love the collaboration with groundeffected over the past 2 years I have enjoyed watching his channel grow.

jason rohde

Groundeffected will be judging the top 12 and selecting the 3 winners. The focus on miniatures or large-scale models does not determine the quality of painting; all entries are valued equally. Thank you for your understanding and participation!

Carlos Eduardo

Where are the rules saying you would pick a top to present to groundefected? I thought our entries would be judged by him. Also more than half are minis, in a patreon where the majority of ppl paint large scale. And "mini painters are not better than large scale models painters" huh There should have been 2 different categories to begin with

Raina3DArt

This was a CA3D competition. Groundeffected is our partner and will be announcing the winners, but all the models in the contest are from CA3D. The collaboration with Groundeffected is to help promote and add excitement to the contest. Thank you for your interest!

Carlos Eduardo

🙄 so was this a Ca3d competition or a groundeffected competition with groundeffected models lol

Robber_1303

Amazing skills from all of them

scott schmidt

Truly amazing work!

Martin Quinonez

Wow, very impressed, we have some incredibly talented members in the group. Bravo to all and may the best painter win! You all did fantastic work!

Amy W
