Duende Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 Dark Age Games have partnered up with the World's largest painted miniature gallery CoolMiniOrNot.com to do an exciting miniature painting contest. We started with one of Brom's orginal artwork, and asked sculpting legend Tom Meier to bring it to life. Everything first class from start to finish. A little about Lilith. Lilith measures 32mm to the eye and 35mm to the top of her head. She belongs to an unreleased Forsaken Prevailer faction in the Dark Age game universe. She will be limited to only 888 Worldwide, 488 will be available exclusively on the CMON shop. While the rest will only be available at the Dark Age booth at selected conventions and given out as prizes until she is sold out. She is the first ever Dark Age miniature that is limited edition. When Lilith finally gets released in the Dark Age game World, a different version of her will be available. Contest will begin immediately. Contest ends on 12/31/07 at midnight Eastern standard time. Voting will last until 01/15/08 at midnight Eastern standard time. Contest Rules: 1) You can order and enter as many times as you like, but all the pictures of your entries must be hosted on CMON's server.

Skya Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 *snickers* Her hair looks like an afro. I've gotta say this is the first piece in a long time by Tom Meier that I'm not that keen on. maybe with a head swap... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sculpta the squig Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 I like it. squig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duende Posted November 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 Sounds like DA has taken a few hints from Wyrd with the random prizes.... Do you think they got the idea from here? But I agree with Skya, I'm not really liking the head on this mini. In the artwork, she's obviously wearing a fur hat and has a sweet face, but the mini she just appears to have really ratty hair and a coarse face that doesn't resemble the artwork's at all. I may just buy her anyway to enter in hopes of winning a random schm...er... whatever.. prize! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supervike Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 Well...hmmm. I like the original artwork...the sculpt looks wonky (its the hair!) I'm glad to see he is getting the CMoN painting contests back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sculpta the squig Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 I agree that the face could be a bit more rounded. Squig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duende Posted November 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 And just on my personal pet peeve note: Is it written somewhere that in any company that produces female minis that one must be named Lilith (or any spelling variation thereof). Gaaahhhhhhh! They're everywhererererere!!! *EDIT* It makes me want to make a mini of a male dressed in drag and name him "Thilil". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supervike Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 And everytime they do, I always think of Frazier Crane's wife from Cheers..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wren Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 I like this mini overall, but I agree in wishing the hair looked much closer to the artwork. I am going to try to enter this contest, though I don't have any particularly good ideas right now. I recall a lot of very creative stuff in earlier CMON contests, very impressive.

Jabberwocky Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 I like it overall as well, but the face and hair do seem a bit off. To be fair, I have to admit that I'm not sure anyone could capture the "frizzy" look of the hair--the scale is just too small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiccanpony Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 Mine came this weekend and after looking at it, the face is much better then what shows in the green....hair still funky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincegamer Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Sounds like DA has taken a few hints from Wyrd with the random prizes.... Do you think they got the idea from here?Possible, but then Wyrd was only copying the old Chick Challenge series, so maybe they both took it from the same source.
