Zool

Forgot to tag, this is for the Adult entry

Thanks @Tuttleboy, can't wait to see it in print !

The reason behind the variety in use of the "pips" is to distinguish between weak - moderate - severe damage dealing cards. 

This was one of my favourite entries, those tattoos are amazing! Also really like the skin tone

Great work on the scene and mini. I think the backdrop is a bit distracting and not too fond of the airbrush clouds, but the judges will probably love it

This is the only final entry i feel is deserving of a win, goodluck to you!

Awe shucks, thanks you guys

Great looking piece!

Thanks for the kind words everyone! Too be honest this was such a challenging paint job, and had to repaint a lot of areas which were just so tough to get right. Was my first time trying an OSL technique, but I am very happy with the overall feel of the piece. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the entries!

Thanks for the kind words everyone. I personally just loved the idea of putting Gracie in a crappy situation, her face just looks so unimpressed.

No way! I am painting the exact same model! Luckily we are not going up against each other

And yeah even though I am inflating my own ego here, I feel we both applied a much more creative solution to the theme than the  99% of entries literally showing gold and mines... And also the focus on Iron Painter is you skills and as a painter, which you very clearly show. Dioramas as secondary and won't make up for an average paint job 

High five to our brilliant interpretation of the theme

And great job on your final piece!

Looks great, I do wish there were a few closeups on the details, or at least taken a bit closer with less of the base, hard to see the quality of the paint job which seems to be great
