Congrats to Dan for his bronze (well deserved, and hope that soothes the GW rage you were building up lol), as well as the other winners in 40k. Guess that means I didn\'t place :rolleyes:. Always next year.

Any ideas when we can expect pictures?

Thanks guys, that\'s some pretty crazy company in 40k single. I\'m definitely honored to have my name next to theirs.

Hopefully we\'ll see some pics pretty soon, I know what I went to Games Day in 2002 I had a ton of pics and rumor roundup posted on my site by Sunday night... ;)

Hopefully next time I\'m entering a Golden Demon it\'s in person so I can meet everybody. That means I\'ll have to save money for a whole 8 months while I\'m in school though, could be tough lol Having Games Day pretty much the same week I start my summer job is horrible timing!

Hell, just hook up a webcam and set up a live feed. I guess it\'d look pretty terrible with a webcam... oh well...

Wow what a day! I know everytime we say that the competition was stiff and that the level improved, but this year is something else for Canada! Sculpts or extremely heavy conversions were numerous, and we can clearly see that the painting level is moving closer to the European scene.

Chris (Dragomir) had a breathtaking full sculpt of a large scale Biker of Native Indian origin which had me in a drooling daze :drool: Then I had shivers thinking the amount of work must have been required for such a masterpiece. :wow:

Newcomer in the GD scene but already an adept int he historical painting scene, my friend John Papoulakos had a sculpted Black templar bust that belonged in a fine arts museum, and among other pieces, a Slaneesh predator with freehand on every square millimeter.

As for myself, this year I had decided to stay true to my motto: Challenge yourself to something you don\'t have the skill to do yet. Force yourself to learn. I made my first full sculpt and ditched the NMM out the window to learn about the treatment of real metallics. I won\'t hide the fact that is was a very hard challenge for me but the hard work payed off :D

First off congratulations on such a fine piece of work. I can see quite a lot of change in your work and a great influence by the work of the European painting style. Hes a masterpiece to say the least!

I look forward to seeing more work form The Montreal Gang.

Are you coming down to Chicago in July? Mathieu is coming down to attend with Jeremie and I.

Thank you for the kind words (and working link!)

Unfortunately, work will not allow me an outing in July, and I would not have an entry ready by then; I need a break! Small possibilities for Gencon Indy though, we\'ll see...
