2024-07-04 16:39:31 +0000 UTCI 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.

2024-07-04 16:39:07 +0000 UTCMinis 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...

2024-06-26 03:25:24 +0000 UTCHey CA3D - maybe make a gallery of all the entries/runners up? May be nice for all the painters :)

2024-06-25 18:35:26 +0000 UTCI 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.

2024-06-25 11:53:55 +0000 UTCAaaa 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==

2024-06-25 09:47:23 +0000 UTCMy 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

2024-06-25 09:08:18 +0000 UTCcongratulations 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==

2024-06-25 06:50:47 +0000 UTCI 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
2024-06-25 05:59:49 +0000 UTCGot to be Morrigan! Thanks ca 3d for hosting

2024-06-25 04:10:19 +0000 UTCI love the Spawn but all entries that have been selected are incredible!
CRAIG JOHNSON
2024-06-25 03:32:29 +0000 UTCCongratulations 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
2024-06-25 03:26:10 +0000 UTCAmazing entries. Looking forward to the next one.

2024-06-25 03:01:01 +0000 UTCAlthough 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!

2024-06-25 01:41:23 +0000 UTCI 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
2024-06-25 01:03:46 +0000 UTCI 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.

2024-06-25 00:46:21 +0000 UTCAwesome work! That just means I need to get better 🎨🖌✨️👏

2024-06-25 00:00:52 +0000 UTCWe 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.

2024-06-25 00:00:51 +0000 UTCThought the same :/
Rodrigo Perez
2024-06-24 22:15:25 +0000 UTCOk.... i thought we had until today to post the figure
Rodrigo Perez
2024-06-24 22:15:16 +0000 UTCLooks 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
2024-06-24 22:06:03 +0000 UTCExcellent work from all!
Sam T.
2024-06-24 22:05:06 +0000 UTCDamn I thought we had till the end of the day on the 24th to get the entry in... oh well hahaha
Travis Norton
2024-06-24 21:59:32 +0000 UTCI love how they look but I am a little disappointed that most of them are minis 😮💨
Skully
2024-06-24 21:57:06 +0000 UTCAmazing artist for sure. And I love the collaboration with groundeffected over the past 2 years I have enjoyed watching his channel grow.
jason rohde
2024-06-24 21:53:34 +0000 UTCGroundeffected 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
2024-06-24 21:22:40 +0000 UTCWhere 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
2024-06-24 21:19:55 +0000 UTCThis 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
2024-06-24 21:18:33 +0000 UTC🙄 so was this a Ca3d competition or a groundeffected competition with groundeffected models lol
