Salute \'08 - 19th April at ExCel London

[rocketandroll]

Oh... and WTF?!!! about multiple entries in the same category??!!!

We heard the same name called twice in succession and looked at each other and were like \"Eh, no, that must have been a mistake, maybe it was first place in one category followed by second place in the next, because they can\'t possibly let people enter a category more than once, that would be insane\"....

I wish they\'d actually published that fact in the rules somewhere!

Between us we had about six or seven other entries we would have loved to put in but obviously couldn\'t because in any other comp you can\'t possibly have the same person enter the same category more then once!!!??!!!

Jeez... and to top it off I bet they\'ll change this and make it one entry per person next year too now we all know


Hrrrrmph.

OOps looks like I let everyone down.

I really didn\'t think about it. I only had one entry and didn\'t think anything of it.
I only asked the question as Matty was wondering.

Surely everybody entered their best stuff?

Nigel

 

[UberTek]

Congratulations Nigel. Stunning work!

I\'m sorry. I\'ll just go hide in a corner now. Shall I?

 

[Avicenna]

LOL

easy mistake to make, both being called Libby \'n all

 

[krokar]

Lol They always get my name wrong, on my gd plaques and whenever its listed its beau townsend ( its townshend he he)
But who cares im happy i placed, as my 3 ( 2 were broken and the last 1 couldn\'t finish in time ) other entries I was going enter didn\'t work out so I entered my old demon :bouncy:

Still a thing of beauty


...the mini, not you Nigel!



...oh alright then, you as well

 

[freakinacage]

PHOTOSHOPPED! lol

 

[atacam]

I must say on the whole I like that, But that is one horrible mini on the back of the tiger. In fact I would probably say it is one of the worst minis I have seen in a looooong time:~(

 

[Avelorn]

Lovely work Nigel! Now.. some close-ups!

@Tim

Yeah it definately looks photoshopped. I think I\'ve seen it before too but from another painter. Different colours though and no tiger, and the girl with the axe was more a man with a sword. But pretty much the same thing. Do you really want us to believe you\'ve painted that Nigel??

@Atacam:

What\'s wrong with it? :]

 

[matty1001]

Nigel has definitely hidden some flaws with his beyond shoddy camera workmanship.

When you\'re a bit older you\'ll find out that most women have chest hair like that. At least the ones I dated did.

As I have said somewhere else, each to their own, I just really hate it, but the rest of the piece
