I don't mean to imply someone is cheating but they all have the same background behind the models but only with different lighting. Guess to win you need not just a good model but a good backdrop. Or the best painters also have good backdrops.

Most professional model photo backgrounds are a sheet of paper - either black or white. Nothing to distract from the model.

'painting' competitions where you can't see the model in person are actually 'photo of your painting' competitions. its just the way it is on the internet.

Looks good. Wish I could have entered. I'm not exactly thrilled that a professional painter is able to win all the time though.

One Page Rules

We welcome painters of all skill levels, and have a random bonus prize in order to encourage even entry-level painters to give it a shot. We're not aware of any professional painters taking part in the contest, but if we see that the same painters are winning too many times in a row, then we will set some sort of limit. :)

Yea and with only like 30 entries it's not much of a competition but oh well.

Skip

Thanks for the votes everyone, really appreciate it.

Congratulations winners, really interesting seeing all the different choices. It hadn't occurred to me to have the sleeves painted as a different material than the other "bone like" pieces. Nice work all around.

I'm not sure if you mean me by your comment but I can assure you i am not a professional painter, I actually have a sight impairment which leaves me practically blind in one eye and have little depth perception which makes painting extremely hard for me but its something i really enjoy doing and don't want to give up on it because of a disability. That being said I know I won 1st place in October and had every intention of not entering the next 2 months comps if i won Novembers out of fairness anyway. :)

It's all good. I thought you were with cmon, as you get that when you try to find CM minis. If you're not, then I take it back. I'm trying to find the time to get printing again, maybe I'll get half as good as you

Paul West

that might be why all mine look so rubbish :)

Skip

I used a play mat turned over and draped it over a tall book for my backdrop. Then I took about 10 pics with my phone and picked out the best one to send in.

CM minis sounds like some instagram handle for a painter or something.
