Hey everyone, This is a ramble video about why I think the Judges picked this for the sword. Just a quick one with no script but I hope you enjoy it anyway.

Thanks for getting this out so quickly, very interesting!

Hi Andy, I really enjoyed this video, and I think that it's an important part of the teaching that you could include more often if it's something you enjoy doing. It's very helpful to get the insights and evaluation of a much more experienced painter as this can really help us to think about how to look at our models in greater depth, and from different perspectives. It's also interesting to get a better understanding of the judging decisions at that high level, which is helpful for anyone wanting to enter mini painting competitions of any kind. And it's great for anyone who is not able to attend to get detailed feedback on the minis from someone who has actually seen them in the flesh and knows what they're talking about. Cheers!

I agree with Rob, I think it'd be nice to have a discussion of an outstanding miniature every once in a while

It feels a shame to have such an insightful video locked away behind a paywall. I’d highly consider sharing this to the wider YouTube audience.

Painter Jim

Really appreciate this, super interesting

Hellglazer

Loved this mate! Really interesting to see how he got the colours to interact and produce some really interesting bounce lights and reflections. Really top tier!

Cult of Paint

I thought about it, but I’d rather just give it you guys as appreciation!

Emil Andersen

Super interesting video, loved it! On the question side, can you help me understand why there is no orange from the base in the metal ultramarine symbols at the end of the leather tassels? Ps: thank you so much for taking the time to give feedback on my entry when you were in the Artist Opus booth!

Excellent video; really love the breakdown and reflection (no pun intended) on the details, the process, how both Maxime and Marc might've approached each aspect.

Thomas John

Well I do appreciate it!

When Maxime first posted this on Instagram, my immediate thought was, "Yup, that's a sword." There were so many incredible entries, and plenty that genuinely made me go "WOW!" But that's almost expected at this level of competition. What stood out to me about this particular miniature was just how incredibly cohesive it was. Everything seemed to work together so effortlessly, from the composition to the overall execution. I completely agree that there's no such thing as a flawless or perfect miniature. But to my eyes, on that particular day, this one came the closest. Of course, that's entirely subjective, but it's what made this piece so special to me.

Maxime Penaud

Maybe because the painter (don’t know this guy 🥸) forgot it 😫

Maxime Penaud

To explain my thought process a bit more: I would have liked to add a bit of orange to the bottom of the symbols. But for the symbols themselves, even though they’re facing the ground, I decided to keep them white for readability. Since they’re so close to the ground, having orange next to orange would have made them harder to read from a distance. Initially, I wanted to paint the symbols in NMM gold, but for the same reason, I felt they wouldn’t stand out enough.

Emil Andersen

Woah, didn't expect a response from the man himself, thank you so much! Absolute masterpiece!

This was great Andy - thanks for taking the time to do this!
