I agree I had that happen to me where someone won a painting comp with a mini I painted. Credit where credit is due. Go for it have a rant I\'m with you on that.

Heh, mistewr Kelso bought some of my minis ages ago and entered them into an origins comp. suffice to say he is banned from ever entering that, or any golden Demon comp ever again ;)

I wonder if it\'s ever happened where someone entered a painting contest only to be beaten by a mini he or she had painted that was entered by someone else.???

It would be a big deal if it was your work!

Yes, but then again, he clearly told us that it wasn\'t his work, and he posted it because he admired the paintjob and the sculpture. I can\'t see why there\'s anything wrong with that.

It happened to me ...

once a painter posted on an italian site a pic of mine saying it was made by himself...

the s*/t reputation now he has here is due a simple thing... i posted a pic of me holding the mini between the theets and with the hand i was holding my ID card lollollollollol

I get a call from GW Canada.Some little twit(his parents) bought my mini and won Young Bloods gold. You know who caught him -you! Coolmini-denizens contacted me and GW to thwart the little twit:D
Then Mr. Kelso contacted me to buy some of my minis and or possibly do a commission piece.He also bragged about winning a GD which was my clue that something was wrong.Usually if you paint to that level you don\'t need character commissions. So yes I think it is a big deal.
The only way you should post someone\'s work(with full credit) is when a friend asks you to ebay something for them.

And I would argue that the posting should come down as soon as the auction is over. There\'s no need to post others\' work here, even to admire it. Start a forum thread titled \"holy shit, look at this\" or whatever, just don\'t post it for voting.

At any rate I agree that the original subject of this is moot, it\'s basicaly a dead account with only 3 pics.

Oh, it was top. He did it a few months after Sue got in touch with me about Origins, and obviously everybody at GW HQ(I was still there at the time) knew about him cheating, so when my supervisor noticed his name, we did a bit of research, and then told the head of the studio. He got in touch withy the US boys, and since then he has been banned. Worldwide. LOL! I\'m convinced he isn\'t doing toy soldiers anymore

On a lighter note- congrats on your unofficial \"wins\" pitynoman and minigrl and others:bouncy:;)
A part of you has to laugh when you see that... or cry. I think that this has been going on for ages in the art world... oldest scam in the book. But, a guy cheating for themslves is one thing, but his mommy and daddy doing it for him. That takes the record for lamelol???lol
Takes spoiled twit to a whole new level. Kinda like taking your kid hunting at the zoo to teach him about nature:eek:

@pitynoman: I was just curious, wouldnt this happen all the time ( people buying someone elses mini\'s and putting it in a painting comp ). How could organises review that because i am sure this sort of cheating would be common.

It doesn\'t happen all the time,but it does happen.People that enter painting comps are a relatively small community, most people do it for the challenge. To buy your way in would be meaningless because you still wouldn\'t have the skill.Also chances are you will be caught and banned for life.
