Painting - What do you think of painting clashes?

Post subject: What do you think of painting clashes?

It's an idea i had a few days ago and that we're experimenting on www.francebloodbowl.com (to play javabowl)

The principle is to challenge another painter. You take the same fig or the same type of fig and you both agree on a number of days to paint it. It must be short, like 2 or 3 days if you're on holidays and max a week if you work. You gotta be honest Wink

When it's finished, people vote to tell who won the clash. The looser must pay a beer to the winner. Cool

And the winner gets all the honors Mr. Green

You want to try that ? Twisted Evil

Might be more interesting if you had people painting up "opposing" figs and the winner got both.

Yeah! Why not also 20 $ and a butterfinger? Rolling Eyes

For me it's just about fun. We take 2 figs and let see who's better at it.

It's also a good way to paint that fig that's been on the shelf for 6 months Wink

A mini per week... I don't paint that fast (except dragon ogres who I can paint really quick Mr. Green

)

I really can't believe it! Shocked

Nobody's interested. Nobody wants to paint just for the fun of it in a mini contest? Are people too competitive and afraid of losing? Razz

It's a clash, not the golden demons, damnit! Mad

and certainly not Las Vegas (to win the other mini) Confused

I don't find painting fun but I'd be game. I don't paint that well so it will be a good way for me to get a brush in my hand. Who knows, I may learn something. When do we start?

i've got a clash finishing on monday so after that is fine. What do you want to paint?

I need to paint my den but minis are fine as well.

Wanna do a goblin? I do but I'll paint anything you want. I don't know what you have. I have most of the minis and they're all just lying around needing paint. I just happen to need 3 Goblins and a Troll for my Orc team.

You can e-mail me directly at paddleforfun@comcast dot net if you'd like. I'm sure you know how to make that a real e-mail address.

I've gotta warn you though, you'll probably win the first few.

We'll see that Wink

Oki for a goblin Smile

I'll email for the details.

Hehe, neat idea but to be honest I find painting competitions take the fun out of painting minis. Things like Cool Mini or Not really rub me the wrong way, I'd rather promote painting rather than turning it into a contest all the time (yes, I am aware of the ironic nature of that statement Wink

). But id you guys want to do something like that it would be fun to watch.

The NAF should create "PR" (Painting Rating). You can calculate the odds of winning the next clash, stake points, etc.

P.S. I'M JUST KIDDING!

I agree with what you say Ant. The clash is not really a serious contest made to tell who is good and bad.

It's more about teasing, painting for fun and see who got the best idea. Beside, i find it a good way to paint that damn mini that's been on my shelf for 2 years Wink

I htink it's a great idea... and as soon as I get done with this wedding planning... Count me in on a few. Smile

It's also a great way to jsut get new ideas from each other. I mean let's face it... we're our own museum here. Mr. Green

Great! Now I feel like I need to do something special. I really need to paint a Goblin to match my team.

hahaha, so i can accept nearly every BB mini as challenge... i got sooooo many bb minis to paint !

Nice idea, IMO, but not for me right now. To much to paint right now.. but, like at the TBB legacy 2003 event, as i painted all 4 different 3.ed gobbos in one rush with the TBB gobbo...sothis idea could help me , too. Rolling Eyes
