Thanks Margo there is some nice work there pity the marine that won third place didn\'t have a bit more detail on the loin cloth and a few other areas and they might have given some of the others a run for their money :D

Wow, that \"Margo Grigoryan\" sure can paint :D But damn, those others sure gave you a run for your money. It must have been a very close competition!

How come there are no winning entries from Alexi_Z?

Nice work there Margo.
I especially like you blue ice demon. Didn\'t get inspiration from my netherlord of ice by any chance:D

All my 4 winning entries was withdrawed from this competition, because judges want give chance to win to other painters...

Thanks! Yeah, I can see our two demons have something in common ... cousins, maybe? :)

I need to take a picture of the monster, since the one they\'ve posted there is not so good; overexposed and the colors do not show right. But I dread the moment, since my camera freaks out and cannot focus on such complex 3d objects :(. Still, promise to do that soon :).

We dont have Golden Demons or Slayer Sword in Russia... Our painting competition call \"Crystal Hammer\"...

The first prize won Denis Izotov (Bad Russian Guy on CMON)...

Hi Margo,

I think you were unlucky with your 2nd place Saint Celestine, it\'s beutiful. (though I can\'t see the first place entry very clearly)

It\'s a rather different comp to Golden Daemon, still in quite a fledgling stage, so it works a little differently. The overall winner, Denis Izotov, won because he placed best overall in all of the categories combined, not for any individual model.

Some great stuff there nonetheless. Looking forward to next year when they sort out photographing on the day and we get to see photos of every winner.

i still can\'t get over the fact somebody was disqualified for being a high level painter. are the models labelled up with the name of the artist or something stupid like that? why don\'t they make an open category, and i take it Ms Melnik doesn\'t run the eavy metal team just yet.........??

i wish they would try to standardise the format for gw run painting comps. sometimes not having the \'local knowledge\' ruins your chances of winning something right away.

I think that\'s possibly territory that\'s not worth getting into again. I think the situation has all been sorted out now between those involved anyway - at least I hope it has.

just meant to say that Alexi_Z doesnt paint for gw or work for them as far as i know, on this issue i am definately on her side. i think it was unfair and contrary to good competition

What is that soppost to mean? As a miniature painter posting on a miniature painting forum I think anyone has a right to thier opinion. I think its an outrage!:mad: Never has this type of thing happened. Anyone who has an interest in GW sponcered painting events should be concerned. Whats to stop it from happenning again in other compititions, If no one voices thier dismay at this blatent show of poor sportmanship by the competition judges. I cry FOUL!

The sad part is, the blurb at the top of the page SPECIFICALLY mentions her by name, and goes on to say the competition showcases her work.

Then they kick her out. ???


Crazy Russians. :rolleyes:


;)lol

Please do stop going wild about this, guys, everything is simplier by far. Last year the judges announced that from then on the overall painting competition winners (there were three by then) can only enter the open cat. They do have similar rules at some of European GDs.
