So does this mean that we are not allowed to post WIP pictures in our personal blogs until the end of the voting of the competition? Or is it just that the models will have no user name attached to them?
That is a good question.
The idea is that people should not know it is yours, so perhaps early WIP as you work on it is allowed (but not the WIP picture with the paper of your handwriting). But that posting after you reach perhaps 50% completion should not be done?
What do you guys think? The goal is not to prevent people from posting in their paint blogs, just to try and make the voting more fair and by that hopefully get new members giving it a shot as well.
I was thinking along the lines of placing a skink on a 40mm base like this
I like the idea, and it could possibly give you more votes, but the instructions for the voting will be that people should only consider the paint job when giving their vote. So due to this I am not sure of the benefit, but if you want to do it, go for it
ok now im confused do you want a pic of all the bitz I will use for a wip model with out it put together with paper saying "Lustria-Online Golden Serpent 2016". then slap it together...
Sorry, I guess the rules might be a little confusing (if anyone have an idea how we can describe this better let me know).
Under 1. c) we have this paragraph "-WIP picture requirements. For the "Painting" categories, it can be the model before or after priming. For the "Conversion" category, it has to be made during the conversion process, and clearly show that this is not a finished model."
The idea is that if you enter one of the Painting categories, then you will take a WIP picture with the unpainted (or primed) model that stands beside a paper with the "Lustria-Online Golden Serpent 2016" text on it.
For the conversion category, to prove that this is a conversion that you made now, the WIP picture should be someplace when the model is between 20-50% completed (standing/lying beside a paper with the "Lustria-Online Golden Serpent 2016" text on it).
As I mentioned earlier there is two reasons we added the restriction with the WIP picture beside a paper with the "Lustria-Online Golden Serpent 2016" text on it. Simply it is to make certain it is a new entry (many of us, have models created already which could easily have been entered into the categories otherwise, and this would not really be fair). Secondly it is to prove that you actually made the model, and did not just take some pictures from somewhere else.
I could have used him for the conversion, now I have to think of a new guy...
. Does an entry have to be something that you started *after* the contest opened? Like, I have a project that I've done a tiny bit of work on, but the vast majority of the work will be done in the future. Is it enough for me to satisfy the WIP photo requirement, or should I start something new?
