Aug-Oct 2024 Painting Contest Winners!
Added 2024-11-10 17:00:12 +0000 UTCAfter some thought, decided to hold off on another painting contest for Nov-Dec, so this will be the last painting contest for the year. With that in mind, we picked two winners for this painting contest. If you want a refresher on all the wonderful entries, go check them all out here!
Without further ado, here are our winners for the painting contest.
First up, our runner ups (in no particular order):
Neferit by LittleMiniPainter! The shading and highlighting came out fantastic - I mean, just look at the fur on that displacer beast! π₯°
October diorama by Baldore. The subtle attention to details was such a great touch - from how the lamp posts' light up both our private investigator and detective, to how they incorporated the the TGM logo as graffiti!
Kala, PI Informant by Shinobu. Kala's punk attitude was truly brought to life through a clean paint job with a wonderful execution of shading.
And now! For our winners:
First of our two winners, we have Lunae by Hasel! So much life was captured in this diorama. Through the use of OSL and a beautiful palette of colors, Hasel was able to give this piece an ethereal, mystical feeling.
Second (but also first π), we have Hack by CoreyPress! Not only are the shading and highlights well done, but CoreyPress managed to give this gobbo more life and story through the cleanly executed tribal-esque / face paint markings. And those blue lashes? What a great touch.
A huge congrats to all the winners! Painting contests will start up in 2025, ideally thinking January - March. More details on that come the new year. π Can't wait to see what kickass things y'all paint next go-round!

The goblin winner has a supreme quality paint job, but the moth winner I canβt even tell because all the distracting scenery added to the mini. I canβt even get a clear view of the paint job on the mini.
