Minthara paint contest results

Hello all! Finally, we have summed up the results of the last Minthara painting contest. I understand perfectly well that this time the model was more complex and most likely because of this there were fewer participants (20) and choosing the winners was easier for us

As a result, we collectively identified 3 winners:

First place - BattleFlan - $200 PayPal*

Second place - XGreen - $100 PayPal*

Third place - thesisterofclaudia - $50 PayPal*

This time I will not give long comments, but will give a general comment on how the assessment was carried out. The first thing we paid attention to was the accuracy of all the painting and the painstaking painting of small parts and the face. I will also say that the models were evaluated based on several photos in different lighting. Next we looked at the color similarity to the original and color work (P.S. BattleFlan explained why there was no blood on the stands, so we didn’t take that into account). Additional points could be awarded for creativity (various additions to the model and stand). Only after all this was the overall composition looked at again.

Like last time, I decided to distribute an additional $120 PayPal* to 6 more participants ($20 each) for some aspects we liked:

1. Meowcat

2. Kaldii

3. CollicuttBROS

4. Bladell (George)

5. svendar

6. shaka4051

*You must have a PayPal account to receive cash prizes.

I’ll be writing to everyone on discord soon about the awards, so see if you have a personal request for correspondence

All other participants can choose any model from old releases (+bust, if available).

I also want to add that people treat this event as a contest and not a competition where you can paint a model, see how other people do it and gain experience, despite the results and awards.

Have a nice day everyone and see you in a few days!
