And then GET POSTING!

I'll just post now, might be I'm too busy tomorrow.

Did one of Redmask, but it turned out bad from the start.
If I can only submit one pic, the other one is my entry (the Seguleh punitive army).

Good luck to the competition. You'll need it. Hah! haha... :o
The leader, his audience still,
considered their scholarly will.
He lowered his head
and with anguish he said,
"But how will we teach them to kill?"

One of a number of versions, and not really what I'd hoped to use, alas:

Note: This isn't an entry, this is just how far along I am in my Chain of Dogs painting. I wasn't interested in hurrying a rough finish, as the prize isn't motivation enough (I'm not all that interested in picking up Lees of Laughter's End - I want TTH or ROTCG, to be honest):

Those are ruins to the right, if it's not obvious, and the horses and riders are just placeholders to be painted over with different colors and details.

Yeesh, we're not miracle workers (or dumb/rich enough to give away a £75 book).

It's looking good though. Gonna be awesome when it's finished, glad you didn't rush it!

Ok, here it is....*drum roll*

I decided to paint the scene where Treach battles two K'ell Hunters, and those who have read MoI know how it ends for Treach...

Onrack - I love that Coltaine pic.

Is there any way you could, no doubt after the contest is over since it's too late now, but is there any way you could modify the Wickan's sword to be a proper tulwar? Should be fairly simple, and I think it would fit and look a lot better. That straight, broad shortish sword is just a tad ... jarring, in a cavalry scene. Just do a google image search for tulwar - Erikson didn't make it up, it's an Asian/Indian medieval & later cavalry sword.

Wow there are some great entries! My top two so far are Grimhilde's painting and Onrack's second one with Coltaine. But still some awesome artwork for everyone!!!

Once all the entries are in, one of the contest officials should creat a new thread with just the pictures, so we can look at them right by each other without having to sift through everyone's jibberjabber.

Holy shit guys, these are incredible! Surpassing even my wildest hopes!

@Kurt----gah, sorry. We don't really have the resources as of yet to give away something "inspiring" enough :p Still, your painting looks awesome.

Perhaps with the success of this first contest we can up the prize for the next contest :o Still, awesome of Brood to give anything of his own. Cheers.

Offer a five minute phone interview with SE, if you can get him to agree.
