Hehe...I like it.

Thanks everyone for the comments!

I'd second Thryth's second. One of the reason I liked the contests so much was that I could get more comments in a single showing than I could posting that same mini at 3 or 4 sites. Yeah, you might get the "good job" quickie post, but I'd get that at most other forums as well, so I don't know if people are being all that much different than they might be anyway. Even if I got 5 out of 20 comments with some substance, I'd call that a win.

Heya Reddog! Nice to find you over here from WoM. Welcome!

Here is a fun little mini diorama I did over the holidays as a present for my mom. Comments and critiques always wanted! And a couple of close ups of Da Goon:

Happy Birthday!

So how does your search for an asian wife fit into this? Perhaps you have to save a group of asian girls from the zombies?

Only for those that enter...for those of us that are aluminum (or in my case paper) painters I see nothing wrong with running them simultaneously! :vb_devil:

I don't think that can be stated strongly enough!

Welcome to Wyrd!

Welcome to Wyrd!

Ha! I love it...who sculpted this piece? If this one doesn't scream Femme Fatale, I don't know who does!

I'm a bit late to the party as well. I think all of the ideas are great, but as with so much with this hobby, not every thing will appeal to everyone. I like the idea of a terrain contest, but as others have mentioned, it is a bit of a subspecialty within the hobby and may not get a lot of attention. The writing bit is of particular interest to me--I would love to see something implemented regarding Wyrd fluff; that has always been of interest to me since I am more of a painter as opposed to a gamer. I think the opportunity to be a part of something like this would be a great thing indeed and I was moved to do a little bit of writing (something I had not done for a good 20 years) a while back when there was a fluff thread going. With regards to the painting comps, more is always better for those of us sitting in the wings--having something always coming up is nice. That being said, I would have two concerns for the Wyrd folks. One is participation. The more contests you have, I think the higher the likelihood of a (relatively) poor turnout. I recall one of the HH contests having a lower showing than usual (in the 30 range if I remember correctly) and there was at least transient concern that the contests were losing their luster. Adding more to the yearly mix may aggravate that. The second concern would be financial (not any of my business, but I'll voice it anyway). I have no idea how much it costs the Wyrd crew in swag and prizes, but 3 winners per category plus BoS and BoW and random schmuck prizes AND voting prizes would seem like it would add up. If you did add a contest or two I would have them heavily (or entirely) Wyrd based to help offset the generousness this site has shown time and again. The time and effort invested in putting these contests together also has to be considered. I think this site has the best online contests in the community, bar none. I would hate to sacrifice quality for quantity. I understand the need to keep things fresh and I know that if the past few years are any indication, these new ideas will be well thought out and just add to the Wyrdness I visit every day! *Edited for extra rabid fanboi appeal*

Get well soon! Yes, that was definitely a pleasant surprise on my daily visit to CMoN.

The exploding pigs are hilarious!

Amazing stuff! Great little scene for these buggers--I can almost hear the dueling banjos now...

I'll be eagerly watching this Bex! Best of luck with this project.

Peace and prosperity to one and all this year!

Wha....? She has knees? I must not have noticed.

I think I'll definitely be packing up the gang for that one...

Oooh, a Colorado resident. They raise some good painters in those parts. Welcome to Wyrd--and I second Scorpio's call for some painted minis.

Happy Birthday!

Merry Christmas to one and all!

Awesome! Well done!

Yup, not much to offer there. One thought would be to "mark" each end and perhaps one in the middle. I find that the longer the line, the more I tend to wander. If I can keep the distance relatively short, I do a better job of keeping the line straight. The drawback, of course, with having several short lines instead of one long one is lining up the short lines end to end. Pick your poison...
