Hey all.
Wow, I was in a foul mood yesterday and apologise for a dull and distasteful rant. Having logged on this morning and reading your comments I concur that I was a .... yesterday and take on board all of the sound advice passed on by you all. I'm not that au fait with the way cool mini works but again, through all of your advice (and rightfully admonishing me) I will get it right in the future.

Again, my sincere apologies,
Nick

No worries, chief, happens to us all. Not everyone apologises for it, though, so respect to ya for being big enough to do so :) Happy painting :)

I'm going to be blunt here.
Its been a long standing convention on Coolminiornot not- to point out other people works and demand explanations as to why his X is better than my Y.
Why?; because it comes across as petulant and rude.

If you want to ask for help to improve your painting then fine, but reading this thread.............distasteful.

is that what you meant
Ta, keyboard error. (ahem)

End of story. We all get days Mr Grump takes the place of Mr Thought.

The cake is a lie.
"The cake is a lie." is a lie :)

as for not to be that off topic: I suspect too, that the freehand nude has a lot to do with the better score.
speaking of which I may start a similar thread in the future, but comparing only my submissions and asking what was wrong with it compared to my other pics.
 
I like the banner on the first one lol kinky, just like slaanesh should be. I too was pretty annoyed when i first put some pics up for voting because they got lower scores than i thought they deserved, but it's just the way the system is and i don't take any notice of it anymore it doesn't reflect my painting skill or the effort i put into them.
 
Yeah I get a bit WTF over scores sometimes, but then I eat a slice of cake and watch some porn and somehow it doesn't seem to matter anymore...

:p

I thought munchies came after, not before?

You know, your hands would be full, and possibly sticky otherwise. Could end up with your cake all over the remote. And stuff.

hey folks,
yeah its easy to get p"@/'d off at the voting system. having looked back, I still stand by my original comment in that despite the 'freehand' on the weapon its still a high score. I appreciate everybody's comments and realise it isn't cool to compare but as the website is 'cool mini or not' sometimes i feel less sycophantic than i possibly should.
truly, my photography is crap!
I admire so much of what is on here and credit everybody with their talent (a rare thing) and hope that in the future i can post pics that mirror my work.
since my last pic i have changed direction loads and recently painted a nurgle lord, ork warboss, terminator lord, 2 rhulic warjacks and a mixed up slaanesh champion (lucius based). all different to my last style. lol, havent the balls to photograph them!

Ohhhh man i'm late to the party, hope there's some carrot cake left...
Oh and hey, Tim, nice links man. I like the way you linked them...To this thread...Because, yeah.

On topic (Although cake should be a constant topic), yeah it's easy to see something you might think worse than something you've done rated higher. Just do what I do and snipe the s*it out of all their work =D
But seriously no, don't do that, that's bad form. Just pick yourself up by the bootstraps and let it drive you to be even better than you are regardless of how "inferior" that other guys work is. It's all about slapping paint on little blocks of lead at the end of the day, albeit in a strategic manner...Like some kina paint chess wooo...
