funny indeed, but... well, maybe I am mistaken, but I still consider IP to be a painting contest. very specific of course, but a painting contest nevertheless.
and paintjob on that Ikea entry is average, I'd say.

For me it is a themed painting competition, so if I were a judge it would be 50-50 points-wise. But only you have the experience to say what the judges consider more important
GD, Hussar are pure painting competitions in my opinion.

Lol, love the titans comparaison.
Regarding the theme...why not going for a miniature that is on a stair pondering herself/hiself if he's going for the next step or not cause he might fall into some kind of hellish abyss

and yours was painted so much better...
that's the specific of the IP. I blame the scoring method (see above).
make a dio - you'll get more points for
theme ("stories" get more point than single minis even if these are connected to the theme somehow),
difficulty (you need to build/convert - sure points), and probably
overall (bigger is usually more impressive).
one might like it or not, but that's how this contest works.
EDIT: anyone has a spare dragon's head and neck for my next entry?
