Painting Challenge: Aragorn!


Image


Hello everyone! Welcome to the thread for the July Painting Challenge!

Rules

1. A miniature is decided upon before each monthly painting challenge, this months' being Aragorn. It is not required that you paint this mini, however it is preferred. Here is a list of preferred miniatures in order of most preferred to least preferred:

* Any Aragorn Miniature.
* Arathorn/Halbarad.
* Dunedain.

2. To enter the painting challenge, the miniature you are painting must not be painted before starting and picture proof must be shown of the miniature 'pre-painted' (unprimed, undercoated or if you are repainting and old miniature - in its' original paint scheme).

3. You may join the painting challenge in progress at any time, but must submit photographs of the completed miniature by midnight GMT of July 31st, 2011. WIP images are welcomed and encouraged.

4. Miniatures that are completed in time will be eligible to win the challenge. The challenge winner will be decided by the vote of the OR community. The community will choose one winner and one runner-up from the completed miniatures. Votes should be cast not simply on painting skill, but on merit, including creativity, application of painting techniques, artist improvement, etc. In previous painting challenges, the winner and runner-up recieved prizes in the form of gold coins, however with the websites current situation, gold coins are not available to give as prizes, so no prize is available at the moment.

5. Winners from the previous month are able to participate in the next months painting challenge, but they are not eligible to win in consecutive months.

Good luck to all!

I think I might give this a go if I get my money to buy the figure and paints on time, I hope I can!

Good luck to all participants and I hope you enjoy this challenge!

Sorry for the double post guys but I need to know something, I have never used a white base coat before and I was wondering if I should use one for this challenge?

LOL.

I've got Skull White on my list of paints to advance on new figures. I think i'll give it a try, if it doesn't go to plan, oh well, I can just paint over it with black. :)

Just got to say guys that I get my money on the 15th of July and we go away for a week on the sixteenth so I can't really take part in this challenge. Best of luck to all the competitors and I can't wait to check in on this thread when I return. ;)

My understanding is that we have to post a picture of the unpainted miniature in this thread at the start of the challenge to show that it was not previously painted and then post the completed paint job at the end.

I never said he hadn't, did I? I realise that what I wrote could be seen as suggesting that he didn't but I just posted the process from woe to go for completeness.
