MonkeySloth Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Contests are a great motivator to improve but, lets be honest, it's hard to separate oneself away from the concept of winning or not being good enough to enter as it's always cool to win. That's why I created the participation prize, or door prize in Darkmeer's contest, as it guarantees everyone an equal chance to win something for their efforts and It's worked quite will in bringing in more participation since I started doing it. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nameless Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 actually, most of the participants (of any painting contest) quite easily separate from the concept of winning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redambrosia Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 I don't particularly care if I win, but that store credit would sure be nice. Store credit = more paint I don't actually need more minis 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arutema Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 I just realized the drider spider demon that just arrived will be perfect for this.

TGP Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 I just realized the drider spider demon that just arrived will be perfect for this. The thing has a 4 inch legspan, so basing may be tricky, let me see what I can come up with, Just give each leg a small infantry base of whatever size is most available in your bitz box... @Anyone: where to put the finished pictures? post them in this thread??

BlackWraith Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 I have actually been doing the fall themed stuff on my own completely unaware of the contest until I put my sophie in the show off forum and a couple people mentioned it. I'll posy it as well as the halloween mouselings and thanks giving mouseling once I get the basing completed. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
