Duende Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 Here's the pictures I took of some of the painting contest entries. Please excuse the really horrible quailty, especially of some that got really blurry. The lighting was horrible and I was trying to take the pictures through a glass case as well. I didn't get as many pictures as I would like to have, there were plenty of more excellent entries, but here's a sampling: GenCon Painting Contest Slideshow Enjoy!

Hinton Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 Cool; thanks for sharing those. I had hoped to get more pictures of entries as well, but I guess I spent more time just looking at them. I'm work right now, but when I get home I'll take a look at which photos I haven't uploaded yet and see if I have any that you didn't post.

Nathan Caroland Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 Thanks for posting these Michelle. I have to admit to being curious who did the Fire Imps. Never did stop by to get a freebie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orkydave Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 It was me FF!!! Yep, I did those! (I can't back that up really,especially as I wasn't even in the country let alone the convention, but you can't blame a bloke for trying!) Thanks for those Michelle, Some great photo's there and nice to see some 'fairytale' fantasy there as opposed to wargame fantasy too (hope you know what I mean by that!)

goblyn13 Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 Very nice, I didn't think that the Alkemy figures had been released yet. Its good to see that Wyrd had a fairly good turn out for the contest as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thryth Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 @Duende: Looks like my entry didn't catch your interest. @goblyn13: I don't think that they have been, but some people have some (I know that Jérémie Bonamant Teboul gave some out in a class of his that I took at GenCon).

Wren Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 I suspect Jeremie Bonament Teboul brought and entered the Alkemy figures. He brought a whole bunch of them to give out one to each attendee in the classes he gave. (I took every Jeremie class I could, so I got four, yay!) He also brought some... I think it was Enigma figs to sell to people at cost minus shipping and taxes that usually adds like $8 buying them stateside. I took some pictures, haven't managed to get them up anywhere. Which is true of the past five years of GenCon. I'll see if I can buck the trend this year though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hinton Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 Ok, I went through and grabbed some of the other pictures that I took. Some are contest entries; some are not. Here they are as a Photobucket slideshow. If you have any questions about any of the pics, just ask. (Sorry some of these are blurry.) http://s235.photobucket.com/albums/ee69/EBHinton/?action=view&slideshow=true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wren Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 Oh cool, you took a picture of my tiny diorama! It was so small next to all the others that I would have to search for five minutes to find it in the case, I didn't figure hardly anyone would have noticed it.

Hinton Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 The tiny one was yours? Cool! I really liked it because it was so tiny. Are those 15MM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wren Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 I didn't have time to do more than one major entry, but I really wanted to do something with a dragon theme in honour of the 40th anniversary, so when I got this idea I pushed to get it done. I even painted in the hotel room (having learned from my IP3 hotel painting experience, I packed my good though ridiculously heavy lamp) to get it done, which is partly why the base is a little bleah. That and the thing where I suck at bases and really need to work on that... The spacemen measured about 10mm without bases. No clue what they are or who made them, though. Looked like it said 1992 on the base but that's all I could tell. I inherited them from a local guy doing a massive purge of his excess stuff. I've never painted something that scale before, and while it was challenging in some respects it was also pretty fun! I'm glad you liked it, I didn't expect it to win a prize, but I was hoping it would give someone a chuckle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tallghost Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 Wren, Your diorma was great! I loved that one an the 40's crimebuster scene on the docks. Hinton and Duende, thanks again for the pics. The camera I borrowed for Gencon couldn't take pics of minis for poop, so I appriciate the chance to see all of those cool entries again.

Wren Posted August 26, 2007 Report Share Posted August 26, 2007 Thanks tallghost! That docks one was very cool. Unfortunately I think its owner had picked it up before I got to take photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gi6ers Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 I've borrowed your link for the FOD, hope you don't mind! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duende Posted August 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 Mine or Hinton's? But I don't hit that many different forums, so if anyone wants to post my slideshow anywhere else, go right ahead! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wren Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 Breaking the habit of a lifetime, I have actually posted my photos online this year. Like everyone else's, they're through the glass and have some other challenges, but I did take the time to do some colour and levels correction to show the minis to best advantage. My apologies to people whose minis I missed, some I had photos of but were just too blurry to post, others I missed or had already been removed from the case. The woman who won 6-7 prizes had reclaimed her minis before I took pictures so there are all kinds of holes in the winner coverage. Also I somehow spaced on getting photos of the Single winners, and I think there are some Hatchling entries mixed in with the Single entries I have. ftp://www.journeytogencon.com/Minis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for posting (I still haven't shot any yet). I brought my camera and didn't shoot a single picture at GenCon. Great job on your DarkSword entry.

Wren Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 Thanks for the kind words! I didn't realize the Ashlee was yours, she looks good too! I'm happy I managed to get what I did - I had bad luck getting a combo of space in front of the case and having the camera to hand. Gen Con's about the only con I ever do remember to take pictures at. I think this year tops my weird things seen at a con - a woman (not in costume even) leading a miniature horse through the halls. I think security was having a word with her about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
