This thread discusses the Content article: 10th Anniversary Painting Competition (2015)

Here's a reminder that the original deadline (end of this month) is approaching. I'm saying "original deadline" since we're considering an extension, particularly because we have received only one submission so far. Anyone preparing a piece for our painting competition and in need of more time?

My Lord Guillaume,

I'm planning to submit an entry, I just had an issue with an ink not being delivered. I'm hoping to have my submission in by Friday evening. I have just thought of one question however, I've been posting WiP pictures of the mini in my Army Log does that mean I can't submit it as an entry?

Your servant,

Charles Marchand, Lord Caerluel 4th Marquis de Cumbri and 1st Duc de Rheged.

Milord Guillaume,

I'm intending to submit a small diorama piece that will reflect the "Spirit of Bretonnia".
I would really appreciate a little more time to guarantee that I can get it finished in time.
Would you allow me perhaps until midnight (GMT / UT)on 1st November, or would that be too much to expect and for which to ask?

Your humble servant
Sir Guy des Bontemps

Hmm, I notice that the rules say that a drawing would be sufficient. Would a sketch be acceptable for this competition? I would try to finish my models for it but my free time is woefully little and I can hardly get time to work on them.

@Sir Guy, sounds interesting! I second the need for more time so that your diorama can be shown in the competition.

Thanks for the feedback, everyone! We all want to see more great models (and sketches) participating, so the deadline will be extended by 3 weeks. This should be enough time for everyone to finish, and also for one or another new contestant as well.

The new deadline will be November 21st. Don't miss it!

That's great to hear!

You can't rush art.

"Old" Grail Knight with great sword. Finished the horse awhile ago...finally got to the Knight!

Damn you flood protection.

Milord Calard,

That is an amazing piece of artwork!
It must have taken you hours of effort and almost unlimited patience.
Fantastic!

Your humble servant
Sir Guy des Bontemps

My sincerest thanks for the extension, Milord Guillaume.
I will certainly have plenty of time now to have my entry completed in time.

Your humble servant
Sir Guy

My Lords, Ladies and Noble Knights,

I have submitted my most humble entry for this illustrious competition into the Gallery.

My Lord Calard your Grail Knight is simply stunning.
Sir Guy I look forward to seeing your diorama, I'm sure it will be up to the high standard you set with your Princess Bellefleur set piece.
My Lord Baron I'm very envious of your artistic skills and can't wait to see your drawing.
My Lord Ja9nge your standard bearer is magnificent.

I wish you all the very best of luck and may the best Knight win.

Your humble servant, Charles Marchand, Lord Caerluel, 4th Marquis de Cumbri, 1st Duc de Rheged, Castellan of Caer Curwen, beloved of the Lady, Defender of the faithful and living saint.

Milords,

I've now submitted my entry for the 10th Anniversary Painting Competition; a small diorama entitled "The Spirit of Bretonnia".

Having seen the incredible submissions of milords Calard, Caerluel and ja9nge, and the exceptionally high standards they have set with their entries, I am under no false illusion that my humble effort pales significantly in comparison.

May the Lady smile favourably on you all.

Your humble servant
Sir Guy des Bontemps

Milords,

It's very difficult to see the detail in the three photos of my entry for the competition.
Therefore, I'm including some composite close-up shots of the miniatures I painted especially for use in the diorama to give you a better idea of the painted details.

Sir Guy,

A fantastic little Diorama, I'm sure that our Noble Paladin will triumph over those foul beasts.

Milord Caerluel,

Your kind words are gratefully received.
I sincerely hope that Sir Pelinor will prevail in his defence of the shrine.

Sir Guy
