worktroll · « **on:** 12 June 2011, 16:36:49 »

Okay folks, welcome to Iron Painter 2011 for the BT forums. This is a painting contest open to any BT forum members.

Rules of the competition:

1) Entry is free - anyone is able to submit should they want to, regardless of their actual skill.

2) Only legit IWM/Fasa or CGL Plastic/RP/RPE minis. No illegal repros, complete scratchbuilds, no N-scales, no minis from other lines. Conversions to canon variants or omni configs allowed. MW:DA minis may [/u]not[/u] be used as the base figure.

3) No Unseen.

4) One mini only - 'Mech, vehicle, ASF, constructionmech, proto, BA, infantry fig, support vehicle - capable of fitting on a standard hexbase. Larger SVs would be disqualified by rule 2.

5) No restriction on paintscheme - whatever you want, as long as it doesn't break any rules.

6) While harder to enforce, the aim is to submit a new mini, not one you did some time ago. Please respect this.

7) One entry per user.

Submitting Entries

1) Entries will be accepted between June 13th 2011 and August 1st 2011 EST.

2) Each entry must consist of one (1) image showing one (1) view of a single mini as per the rules. Image to be in a reasonably standard image format (if Irfanview can't grok it, I'll let you know). No composite images (eg. a single image showing three views of the min).

3) Images to be sent to worktroll at gmail.com (replacing the spaces & "at" with @) with the subject "Iron Painter 2011". The mail must contain:
* the entrant's forum name
* Name and variant of the 'Mech depicted (eg. Hunchback HBK-3P, Preta Infernus, Mad Dog H)
* If the paintjob is based on a canon scheme, please name it (eg. Kell Hounds, 7th Sword of Light, 15th Marik Militia)
* nominate the preferred division (see below) the mini to be entered in.

4) The judges reserve the right to crop and/or resize images for ease of storage, ease of viewing, and to maintain consistency in presentation.

Judging

There will be two divisions: Graded, and Open.

1) Entries for the Graded division are not to be heavily customised or reposed. As an arbitrary number, if more than 10%-15% of the 'Mech has been modified or reposed, it'll be moved to the Open category. Neither should entries for this division have exotic or complex basing. It's a painting competition, not a basing/reposing/scratchbuilding contest.

If there are enough entries in this division, they will be grouped into 2-3 skill categories, and a winner proclaimed in each. (Eg. we get 6 entries, begginner/vet; 26 entries, then green/reg/vet)

2) Entries in the Open division must contain a minimum of 25% of an original mini meeting the rules outlined above (sorry, no complete scratchbuild). Customising, reposing & basing are at the entrant's choice - again though subject to the master rules. This will not be a diorama contest.

3) The judges will decide into which group in the Graded division minis will be placed. In the event there are questions about whether a mini entered in the Graded division belongs in the Open division, the judges reserve the right to communicate with the entrant or not.

A poll thread will be started for each Graded division group, and for the Open division, on 4 August 2011. The poll will be open for forum members to vote on until 8th August 2011. The winner in each section will be decided by popular vote.

And formally:

1) The judge's decisions will be final.

2) Don't come here to diss other entries. Saying "the panel lines on the right leg were fuzzy" is one thing, saying "That crap left leg made the whole think look like a piece of ****" is another. The judges reserve the right to eject poor sportspersons.

3) It's a painting contest, not a basing contest, diorama contest, or exotically detailed light-box contest. Choose your backgrounds to complement and highlight your mini, thanks.

4) The only prizes are "the people's ovation and fame forever". (However, any potential sponsors, you know where to find me.)

Questions & answers:

Q: Why no theme?
A: Later, there may be themes. The idea now is to maximise the number of people involved.

Q: Where's the time limit? "Iron X" usually means a hard time limit.
A: Not here. These are the BT forums, and this is the way we swing here.

Q: Does "capable of fitting on a standard hexbase" mean it has to be on a standard hexbase?
A: No, this means it shouldn't be, in game terms, a multi-hex mini. "Capable of" means "you could if needed". So the grossly out-scale second sculpt Blood Asp, or the quads that spread over more than one map hex, are all legitemate entries.

Okay folks, this is the Rules and Q&A thread.

1) Do not post submissions here! Or anywhere else until the contest is over!

3) Otherwise, ask away.

How about Armorcraft Cinematics, or custom-sculpted effects ?

worktroll · « **Reply #5 on:** 13 June 2011, 17:26:04 »

They'll be considered as customisations, and are likely to tip the entry into the Open division. As stated, this is a mini painting contest, not a diorama contest, basing contest, scratchbuilding contest etc - the emphasis should be on the mini, not the additional enhancements.

Saatch · « **Reply #6 on:** 13 June 2011, 19:20:11 »

Is weathering or damage considered a modification?

(I'm only mildly considering this as an outside possibility, so no big deal either way).

worktroll · « **Reply #7 on:** 13 June 2011, 19:51:13 »

Weathering & damage will be counted as customisation, and may result in the submission being moved to Open.

Note: if you were planning to submit to Open, then these are all good options. The guideline is - remember it's a painting contest.

GunjiNoKanrei · « **Reply #8 on:** 14 June 2011, 05:25:53 »

Thanks for doing this :) I hope I can squeeze in the time necessary to be part of this.

Let's talk about basing ... it has been (rightfully) stressed that this is not a diorama contest and that - in general - it is not about basing. It is a painting contest after all. But if I understand it correctly the miniature does not have to be mounted on a hex base. This of course opens many possibilities especially for painters like me who don't care about hex bases anyway (I usually don't play). But ... when is a base considered to be to exotic? elaborate? big?
Take this Flashfire for example. The diameter of the base is 35mm. It doesn't really offer more in terms of real estate than a hex base. I also don't consider it very elaborate or exotic. How would you rate this base?
Is there a too big? Let's assume I chose a 30mmx30mm square plinth as a base. Or 40x40. Is this acceptable?

I also would like to talk about this rule:

Quote

4) The judges reserve the right to crop and/or resize images for ease of storage, ease of viewing, and to maintain consistency in presentation.

I can see why you have this rule, but to be honest I don't really like it. Since this is a painting competition and it is online it is really all about seeing the quality of the miniature to judge it. I would like to avoid a field where every picture is resized to incredible small sizes only to maintain consistency.
How about outlying some parameters? Like "pictures should at least be 500x500px, but no larger than 1000x1000px".
A question to everybody: What size should a picture be so you can appreciate the miniature and the paintjob?

(Edit: worktroll, if you need help hosting the pictures ones the contest runs just drop me a line. I can probably help.)

worktroll · « **Reply #9 on:** 14 June 2011, 05:52:04 »

Okay, in order:

1) That base would be fine ... except it has more than one figure on it. Yes, I know the second one's a BA of some form, but it then becomes the thin edge of the wedge. So minus additional figures - which starts to move into diorama territory - the Flashfire would be fine.

2) Re resolution - my main aim there was to keep the images viewable on one "screenful", and to help people on not-so-hot bandwidth. Here are two test images (forget the resolution, I'm just testing size): please anyone let me know whether the second is too big, otherwise we'll say all images should be between 500x500 points and 800x800 points (yes, 500x800 and 800x500 will be fine).

What about the picture in picture stuff? I have some great work on my figure that I would like to showcase, but how the figure is posed it would be hard to show that off to its full effect, what would you suggest?

About this ... at first I thought the BA was dq'ed because it was not IWM/RPE. Then I re-read rule 4. This means no infantry trooper on the base for scale reference? How about a MechWarrior standing on his/her machine? A no-go I assume :( Back to the drawing board then ...

About the pictures you posted - both are ok from my point of view.

Would the original Battlemaster/Thunderbolt be allowed since they are technically reseen now or for purposes of this competition are they out?

Provided it's a legitemate FASA mini, and not an illegal reproduction, either would be welcome.

I'd love to enter also, but I'm currently in the depths of GenCon minis for the CSO table. Hopefully, I'll have enough time left over for an extra mini!

That's OK, just submit one of the CSO ones.

worktroll · « **Reply #20 on:** 19 June 2011, 05:17:34 »

One small rules update, one reminder:

1) I've added a requirement to the submission section. As well as your forum name, and judging level, can you please also add:

* Name and variant of the 'Mech depicted (eg. Hunchback HBK-3P, Preta Infernus, Mad Dog H)
* If the paintjob is based on a canon scheme, please name it (eg. Kell Hounds, 7th Sword of Light, 15th Marik Militia), or if it's not.

I've amended the Rules post, and emailed back the people who've submitted so far to get that information.

2) Remember, you're all allowed two entries - one in the Graded, and one in the Open. If your submission to the Graded is sufficiently exotic - too heavily modified, or whatever - I'll contact you and we'll resolve any issues.

Thanks,

W.

Okay, sorry. Basically: no. While photography (and basing and modding and ... ) are important skills, it's a painting contest. One picture is what everyone gets.

Once the contest is over, you're of course free to post what you want.

I take it this isn't open for debate? I mean it is an online painting contest, so the picture(s) is everything we have to go by. If it was a live competition as a judge I could view the miniature from different angles. So why the limit to just one view? Why not allow a collage? Or if you rule out different views, how about a picture showing one angle and a few additional details? (example, example, example)

worktroll · « **Reply #26 on:** 20 June 2011, 06:55:04 »

Basically being arbitrarily but equally unfair to all. And it shouldn't be impossible to pick one photo that displays - if not every feature of your mini - the best possible aspect.

Sure, equally unfair to all. But probably mostly to the viewers?
As a miniature is three dimensional and made to be appreciated from all angles (which is echoed by the paint work, as I don't paint for a single picture or angle only) it will be almost impossible to pick the 'best' angle.

But, ok, one angle (no detail inserts?) is the rule ... I don't have to like it, but of course I will play by it ;)

A prototype mech, the AWS-Aws (awesome Awesome a.k.a. "made of Awesome");
Jumps, and has a prototype RAC-20...that fires chainsaws...that explode!

Okay, the clock is ticking, and time is running out. Both sides are deadlocked, neither will capitulate. Yes, I'm talking about Iron Painter 2011! (whatever did you think I mean? :D )

By my reckoning, there's about 30-33 hours left for those of you in the CONUS. Those outside the US can have those few extra hours if it helps, but the deadline is approaching. So far I've received 16 entrants - I may end up juggling the categories slightly so we get a decent voting pool in each group (no use having 5 groups of 3, but it'll depend on what we have).

If you're working on your submission and feel you might not quite squeak in, let me know - I think most of us would cope with a little slippage, but let me know!

I voted Thursday night and found the elite category to be the most difficult to judge, three excellent minis there. There was some fine painting presented all around in this contest and a good turnout of participants too.

Let's do this again soon. ;)

The inaugural Iron Painter for 2011 is ovah!!

First of all, to all the entrants: [notworthy] Followed by [applause]! It's been nerve-wracking, but rewarding to me. I hope you got as much out of entering as we all have enjoying your work.

And to the voting public - thanks for the interest! We've had over a hundred votes in each category, which is as far as I can recall record-breaking. I hope I can speak on behalf of the entrants when saying each painter paints ultimately for themselves, but appreciation is worth its weight in magic fiat dust. Thank you too!

And very special apologies to two would-be entrants - Foehamer whose entry was eaten by Photobucket, and clansittingducks, whose entry I lost. (Yeah, how do you lose an email? You have to work on it. :-[ ) Guys, there will be a next time, and I'll accept your entries in that next competition on top of anything else you submit within the rules. Their day will come!

And lastly - feel free to comment on your, or other people's, entry. But please - keep it positive. "You need to look at getting better definition on your drybrushing - have you tried X" is better than "the pink on the left leg sucked."

Cheers, and until next time,

Chairman Worktroll

When will the next one happen?

Thanks worktroll for organizing everything! Without the Iron Painter Contest my miniature count for 2011 would likely still be at 1.

Excellent work all around, thanks to all who participated for the eye-candy :)

There were some awesome entries in this contest! Thanks to all who put my Prefect in second place! [rockon] My special thanks go to those few who voted for my Hunchback. I knew I was beat the moment I saw that amazing War Dog, but thanks to everyone anyway!

First I'd like to thank Worktroll for organizing this contest and I look forward to the next one.

Second, THANK YOU to those who voted for my entry- I'm pleased with a fourth place finish out of ten. Heck, I was happy just to see that my Albatross was placed in the veteran category to begin with. All the entrants are to be congratulated.

I'll post more pics soon for community feedback.

Many thanks to WT and the others involved in the contest. It has been an amazing one. Congratulations to the winners (that Urbanmech IIC was impressive) and many thanks for the people that voted mine. :) :)
