Man, it's hot! Seriously. Too hot to go out and play. Too hot to travel anywhere. Best just stay inside and try to beat the heat. I know! Nothing says "stay indoors" quite like a painting contest, right?

Announcing Reaper's 2011 Summertime Painting contest.

It's summer, but anything goes for the contest as long as it's one of our figures. As usual, entries that are built with an internal consistency in mind will be considered more highly than others. In other words, we like fun and clever. Be fun and clever.

Weigh your chances, enter wisely. Enter as many times as you like, but only one entry per user will be eligible for the final vote. Attach your entries to this thread.

This thread will be locked September 5th, 2011 (1 minute after midnight, CST). Our staff will pick their favorite entries, then a week later you guys will be able to vote on those favorites. And three lucky people will get a lovely gift certificate.

Prizes:
1st: $50 Gift Certificate
2nd: $25 Gift Certificate
3rd: $15 Gift Certificate


Fine print:
Reaper reserves the right to remove entries if deemed inappropriate, but the general nudity rules will be lifted for this contest.
Inappropriate in this case includes a non-Reaper figure.
You can post a side-by-side image featuring two different views of your entry if you need.
Photoshopping your entry is strictly prohibited. "Photoshopping" includes digital airbrushing, adding a background, adding a logo, that sort of thing. Cropping and levels/color balance correction are fine.
Enter as many times as you like, but only one entry per user will be eligible for the final vote.
Previously posted stuff is fair game. This is a friendly contest.
The certificates will be redeemable through the Reaper Online Store.
Reaper can clarify and amend rules at will.
Go ahead and have your friends vote, but many votes from the same IP address will likely be ignored. Especially if your piece isn't that great. No peeing in the pool!

Posting Guidelines:
Please attach your entries using the forum uploading feature or hotlink from the Inspiration Gallery. We want to make sure they're visible at all times.
Please keep critiques and any other chatter to yourselves within the thread. Any non-entry posting can be deleted at any time.

Begin!

Agree, it was the best one for me too!

But hey, Nameless - you made such a good mini! Very nice idea with this chick made of stone!

[Nameless]

yup, pirate and this one were my two fav pieces, and they took 1st and 2nd place


chick made of stone = statue thanks

[przemo]

This one is also nice but drunk pirate has so much character!

And your mini could be also a girl turned into stone by this dragon (which is basilisk in fact)

statue and dragon, not chick and basilisk
