[Archive] Golden Hat #11 - Voting!

Hashut’s Blessing:

Excellent job to all! Very impressive work. Shame I couldn’t get my entry done in time, but the competition was incredibly fierce anyhow :wink:

Snotling: I think he means from which company :smiley:

Hashut's Blessing
me too, it's a casted scratchbuild, isn't it? at least a part of it, because the face looks pretty similar to something I just saw in green in this forum ^^.
Pretty sad that you couldn't finish your sorcerer HB, but I hope we still can see a BC priest, soon :hat off

Well, my votes were placed. I voted for one where I don't know who made him. I wonder who it was so I can tell him how cool his sorcerer is! ^^

Tarrakk Blackhand:

Well, now it’s time for me to vote on the best sorcerer model contest.

I won’t vote on my own in case I suffer the wrath of Hashut!

Hope the contest is another sucess!

Well, doesn’t this statement apply to all of us? Excellent work everyone!

Some really cool entries there. Ill take a closer look later. Where did entry 26 come from? It looks like a really cool model and i might buy one.

I think that ****** new his sculpt was totally awesome and had it casted ;)

Sounds good that people want to model and earn money with your work.

... but wear the golden hat as a platform to publicize the figure seems unethical.

I have not worked in this gold hat, simply use a figure who had already cast, but woe to those who have worked hard on their figures and I think that deserves respect.

Bolg:

Did my voting, to bad 18 has been painted, that’s such a brilliant model, it should be cast!

Grimstonefire:

26 was a smart play I must admit, but totally within the rules.  Bear in mind that WoH is not an advertising ezine, so whichever model wins it will only be presented as a ‘winner’, not a model for sale (if this is for sale, I don’t know).  But that is the same for all the entries, no matter which company the base model was from.

I would be lying if I said the thought had not have crossed my mind as well, had I had the resources.

Ishkur didn’t enter… (I could have added something cheeky on the end there, but I’m sure we all feel the same about that ;)).

Tarrakk Blackhand:

Too bad Iskur didn’t enter…we could have got 28 slaves! :smiley: - Joke!

Gar Shadowfame:

Best contest ever, lots of entries and plenty of them rly good, so good that after viewing all i have no favourite, what is weird of someone so oppinionated as me :P. rly good entries

Ishkur Cinderhat:

And yes the Ishkur's and Snotling's might run away with all the 12s - but we would have had some kind of competition among the other top 5s.

clam
Actually I didn't participate in this one.. did I? *checks again* No I didn't.

But I have a feeling that I might face a competitor on the "I own two Golden Hats" level soon. ;)

Revlid:

I like #20 a lot, but ended up not voting for it purely because it doesn’t really look like a Sorcerer. More like a clockwerk immortal.

On another note, certain styles of modelling and painting have become apparent after so many Golden Hats - for example, Snotling’s is clearly #18 (the shade of dull green used for the cloth, the doll motif, and the sharpness of the sculpting), while I’d place money on Grimstonefire’s entry being #14 (the bracelet and head in particular give this one away). Tjub is obviously responsible for FEED ME #7 (crisp style of painting, distinctive hat and beard, colouration of lava), and I’m certain Pyromancer is the creator of #16 (model used, round+titled base, pose and painting style), while #15 is straight from Warplockmonkey (the sculpting style, the nose especially). I should know who did numbers 3, 8 and 19, but can’t for the life of me conjure up their usernames.

I imagine whoever thought Ishkur had entered mistook #12 for his entry, as I almost did. However, it’s even more stylised and old-skool than his dorfs normally are, and the style of painting is different (VERY crisp). I suspect it’s Bassman’s entry.

I wonder, can you guess which entry is mine, based off my previous entries? :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Loki:

Great turn out , best so far i think, will take some time to figure out who to vote for as so many good ones, well done every one :slight_smile:

Ogrob:

I haven’t spent too much time trying to figure out who did what, but I’ll say this: I know Revlid is wrong on at least one of guesses :wink:

clam:

I have :smiley: - think I know who did something like 18-20 of them. Think it’s a funny side comp.

And can only agree with you that he is wrong - thought I would have liked if Mr. Revlid would kept his this to himself until after the voting - thats the hole idea to do this anonymous . We shouldn’t influence the public opinion, you know :smiley:

Hey, they're just guesses (one of which is already proven wrong). And CDO isn't exactly the sort of site where one expects to see a voting bloc forming. ;P

clam
In general I agree with you clam but some entrys are too obvious, like Tjubs or Snotlings! ;)

Also mine is quite obvious - just take a look at my showcase thread! :D

clam:

I think a lot of us (if not all) have some kind of signature that shows in our paintjobs, choise of model, base style or … So might see/know them - some might not.

But the unwritten rule here is - that we keep it to ourselves until after the show. Or else, I see no point in keeping it a ‘secret’ - and have all the mystery while waiting for the big presentation. If it surposed to be known to ‘the public’ who did what - why not just make a thread for people to post their entry.

Now, be a good sport - and wait till voting has ended.

Grimstonefire:

If anyone wants to pm me a list of who they think did what, I will give you points out of 27 back. :slight_smile:

Please list them in number order though, as it would be much quicker to check.

Snotling:

I like the fact that so many painters have their signature, it give the miniatures a more personal character

…and everyone could have dolls… meh! :mad

cornixt:

One thing that is obvious from previous comps is that there are no clear forum favourites when it comes to style of models. I can guess a lot of the entries (one of which I was actually surprised to see) but there is always the chance that someone has been very influenced and sent in something that looks a lot like someone else’s. You won’t see another forum on the net that has such a wide variety of styles due to the lack of models.
