Golden Demon Baltimore coverage!

I like the gold in the Fantasy Monster category. The outside of the kimono with the dragon looks like it could be pretty impressive. Wish there was a rear view picture.

I'm amazingly un-impressed with most of the staff pieces. They're good, but... Maybe its just me?

And seeing what won the single figure LOTR I know I won't be embarrassed at Chicago.

ah, right - the ogre was really funny. or was it the geisha-gnobblar?

Both. And the blossom tree is amazing. Where would you buy something like that?

@LadyEyes: Are you gonna do us proud at GD Chicago?

The tree looks like some sort of dried material... like dried flowers or something. You can paint those different colors if you're careful. I've seen spray paint and airbrushing used.

@Skrit: Only with lots and lots of help and ideas. I paint ok, but I'm terrible at doing the over-the-top details that win Demons. I just don't come up with those ideas very well, or when I do they're not dramatic enough.

In what Categories do you want to compete? Lately I have been having a lot of inspiration so maybe I could help you out!

@Dragyn -- Bah!

@ Skrit -- I have a single LOTR figure that is nearly finished. I want to do another entry, though. I am thinking about WHFB regiment, but would like to do something that would use a few less models if possible. I only have two months, and I paint fairly slowly. I may also lose some time to traveling.

There's no way I'm going to try a single WHFB or 40k figure. These are the hardest here, and are usually even harder in Chicago.

The real challenge with regiment, though, is the banner. I've never done a large, really nice banner. I'm not certain I'm up to it, and its a critical element.

So I'm up for ideas to consider.

Just no promises are using them or doing them as well as the really good painters.

No prob, let me look into the US rules what can and what cannot be done. P.s: Isn't the Monster cat. easier then for you? Only one (okay, a bit bigger I admit..) model to paint instead of several.
