I can't agree with you on this one. I mean - ofcourse, you can feel that other works were better. I won't argue with your judgment of painting quality etc.atacam wrote:Li Tsu Tsin, is basically a copy of the studio job with a little bit of freehand added.

But, calling Bren's work "copy of the studio job" is not justified. Here's a studio version:

sorry, but using red for dress is not copying a scheme/paintjob.
. I just think it is let down. It's just one of the things that bother me about competitions, thats all. I am speaking from an informed position though. I have all the immortals and have not touched them, as I have struggled massively trying to figure out a paint job that is not like the studio job.Nameless wrote:I know you're not questioning judgment.

I'm only surprised that you consider Bren's work a copy. nothing more, nothing less.
). I respect everybody's opinion and with other judges I might not have won, I wouldn't be upset about it. I've entered several competitions and I know how it goes, sometimes you feel you've got a big chance and you lose and sometimes it's the other way around. All I know is I painted a model in maybe not so original colors, but for me that was no reason to not paint her. To be honest I didn't make a big study of the studio paintjob, I remembered she had a red dress and I thought it fitted well. With her being asian the skin and hair is also quite obvious, but I tried to give her a warmer skintone and overall a warmer look with more golden tones. I do get the point about trying to find a more original color scheme and usually I like that, however somehow that didn't happen on this model. But after all, I did paint the model and it's not like I copy-drybrushed the original paintjob... so I don't think I need to feel guilty I won as well. But for next time, I'll try to think about a more original color scheme, I'm glad somebody reminds me to be (and stay) creative

no, you don't need to feel like that. you won, the judges decided you deserved it, you should be happy and proud. that's my take.Bren wrote:so I don't think I need to feel guilty I won as well.
This I do agree with. on the day the judge(s) decided they liked yours the best, that I wont dispute. As I have said she is very well painted.mahon wrote:no, you don't need to feel like that. you won, the judges decided you deserved it, you should be happy and proud. that's my take.Bren wrote:so I don't think I need to feel guilty I won as well.
