    Do what I'm doing in the terrain comp, enter but once voting is closed discard yourself and award the prizes to the top 3.

    After all we all know your super talented but maybe just maybe someone may produce something that we all love and imagine the thrill one of us would get if we beat the master, so yeah enter please.

    Actually I did say I'd do one, maybe a Ripperdactyl? That or a Slann, but I don't have any idea on how to paint it yet.
    Rikard, I'll send you some pictures of my sculpts and let you decide on which one I'll enter. Surprise me!

    I have in mind a conversion/kit-bash of a lizardman piece that probably would not require any green-stuff (but maybe I could think of stuff to add).

    Would that be welcome? Never mind (edit) reading more closely that would be a not so much.

    I don't have any 3D software, but it is something I would like to get into. I could see creating a 3D component to add to the conversion above...thoughts?

    Umm, software. What do you guys use? Zbrush?

    My thought on 3D software sculpts is that if somebody sculpts nearly a whole model that it ought to be in its own category.

    I have never seen anybody sculpt a few electronic 3D components that they then added to a regular model, like new better tails for chameleon skinks. It's one thing to sculpt in 3D but quite another to sculpt a 3D part that perfectly fits an existing kit. That seems exactly inline with your criteria.

    - Does it need to be Lizardmen themed (I'm guessing yes, but I'd like clarification)?
    - Does it need to be painted?

    Z-brush or mudbox, but they're expensive...

    Nice try, but I'm not going to do an additional scratch build for an additional category. :p

    It would be, but (and I'm only guessing here), if you measure or even scan in the existing model that you want to add to, it wouldn't be that hard.

    @Rikard VERYY NICE INITIATIVE man! I would really like to see more of this kind of activities in the forum! It really strengthens the comunity!

    I am definatelly hoing to give this a try. I am a really slow painter and I have never sculpted anything before so I might not be able to finish it on time... I am however really excited about the contest and the prices (which are awesome) and I will try to do a push to have an entry!

    You don't have to paint it, that's the best part. ;)

    Do you know which of the two is better? Easier to use? Advantages and disadvantages?

    (I don't mean to derail the thread, I'm just very curious)

    Honestly couldn't say, I think it's personal preference and prior experience, woogity, may well be the better person to speak to on this.

    I know Kev White at Hassle free miniatures prefers Mudbox.

    Plenty is the short answer, but make sure you send them to me via PM, do NOT post them publicly.

    UPDATES, UPDATES, UPDATES....

    So I've been tinkering and sketching, trying my best to think of something good to sculpt (had originally thought of doing the Egg of Quango, with the Quango hatching from it).

    However...I've thought of something possibly a bit better...
    I REALLY want to help people with sculpture, all of you, regardless of how much, little experience you have AND abilities.

    With that in mind, how does this as the first place prize grab you all?

    Deadly serious here, especially if it gets more people interested/trying, the only thing I would ask is if you're not interested/a fan, please, please, please let me know, last thing I want is to see this appearing on ebay.

    Give me feedback on the whole thing/ideas.
    Especially if you have suggestions and preferences on deadlines with this contest. :)
