Title: Landscapes of Anyaral 2015 - Scenery Building Contest
Post by: Carcharoth on June 19, 2015, 04:30:28 pm
Earlier this year we ran a very successful painting challenge that saw a great number of Anyaral’s denizens getting a lick of paint! These nicely painted models do need their own piece of Anyaral to fight over, so as promised I’m going to run a contest to encourage you to get building some scenery!

The challenge (should you wish to accept it) is to build some Anyaral-themed scenery. You could start turning those hoarded pringles tubes into a grand fubarnii house, construct a dhogu campsite, a delgon lookout post or a bustling market. You could even set to work creating a devanu tower hidden in the depths of the Argoran wastes. There are no specific constraints on entries and some well-constructed characterful little pieces of scenery would be just as welcome as larger more-ambitious pieces.

The best entries will win Twilight related goodies as well as a special preepree trophy that can only be won in these sorts of contests! There will be a vote on the forum at the end of the contest and there will also be a few random prizes for entries that I think capture the feel of the world particularly well.

The contest is going to run until the 24th August, which gives you a couple of months over the summer to create something special.

Ask for help!

If you’ve got a grand idea or are searching for inspiration then just ask on the forum or on facebook. It’s a great opportunity to bounce ideas around and get feedback which could help you turn a good idea into something even better.

As many of you have seen, I’ve had lots of fun little bits and pieces cast over the years, some of which have never really been released. These include lots of random little bottles, tools and extras, as well as plates of tasty looking fruit or grubs. If you would like a chance to win a few of these little pieces then show off some work in progress during the challenge. If I’m suitably impressed I’ll send a few bits your way!

oh yeah... that'll be me for sure.  I had set aside time on Tuesday to work on my tents. went to the game shop about 45 minutes away and intended to spend a few hours assembling...... but I brought all of the materials I needed except the tent poles.  d'ohh!   so I made rocks, standing stones, and a low hill instead just so I didn't waste my time. but I would like to make at least one tent and a soft corral before the weekend is over.   :)   ;)

This week-end risk to be a frenzy one (or rather only sunday, saturday i go to the beach with the kids ^^) ! I'll try to defenitively finish the building of my little castle, and at least undercoat it. Still many little details to do !
Yesterday i've started the painting of the different accessories though (crafts, table, etc).

Just one day to go!
I'm going to be travelling tomorrow night so I'll be looking at entries on Monday morning.
If you haven't quite finished your entries, then you can still enter them anyway  :)
Looking forward to it!

There are loads of fantastic entries there! Now I need to figure out how to judge them... I feel a poll coming on!
