Welcome to the Golden Gobbo painting competition. If you'd like to read some of the ancient history you can on the Realm of Chaos 80s blog.
This competition is held some years and you'll find threads here describing how to enter and when the competition is running (typically after BOYL each year).
Other than the fame and wonderment of your peers there is often a prize kindly donated and you'll have the wonder of being awarded badges for your profile here.
I think monsters is a great theme, and a january deadline sounds good!Orlygg":2i2yygml said:Are we definitely going to do monsters then? I still think a deadline in early January is the fairest as it gives people the Christmas and New Year period to work on entries if they have heavy going jobs and family commitments (like I now have!)
Agreed: getting more occassions to participate in contest is cool but I've noticed when you get contest like every second month lots of people just get bored and pass them.Zhu Bajie":31k9cj6s said:That said, can I suggest an annual competition? That way we all know long in advance when we've got to get stuff done by? I know you bunch are a lot of prolific painters, but maybe the GGs could be something a bit special. Also might give time to get the word out and maybe get some prizes in order?
So to make it clear: display plinth is not an option?Orlygg":1u3ipbni said:2) Miniatures are to be based monsters, preferably mounted on a square 40-50mm base (the monster base) though there is no real restriction on the shape of the base.
Why not? Clearly says "no real restriction on the shape of the base". =)demi_morgana":2zcmke30 said:So to make it clear: display plinth is not an option?Orlygg":2zcmke30 said:2) Miniatures are to be based monsters, preferably mounted on a square 40-50mm base (the monster base) though there is no real restriction on the shape of the base.

I guess the idea is to try and keep it as one monster rather than it becoming a diorama... something my entry is getting perilously close to becoming!
