After more than a year, our beloved painting competition returns! In the Turning the World to Darkness we pick a different theme each time, and the goal is to represent the theme or find ways to turn it to the ways of undead!
In the spirit of our grand return, the theme for this competition is "Resurrection"!
You are all open to interpret the topic as you will, so let your imagination roam free! It can be a simple zombie rising from the dirt, a big diorama of a twisted resurrection ritual, an act of boneshaping, a Necromancer casting Invocation...the possibilities are endless, and the interpretation doesn't even have to be so literal. You are also encouraged to use models or parts from whatever army you feel like, not restricted to undead only. It could be a single model or a whole unit of them, of all scales and sizes.
Original models (sculpts) and conversions are allowed.
The Prize: The winner earns the glory and a place in the Hall of Infamy thread and a forum medal once they are available. The winner also gets to select the theme of the next painting challenge (note that the winner only has a weekend to present the decision, so please be prepared and available).
The Rules:
The Schedule:
Week 1, Monday: Theme announcement and entry thread created
Week 6, Sunday: Entry thread closed. Voting thread opened.
Week 8, Friday: Voting thread closed. Result announced. Winner asked about next theme.
This thread is now open for people to post their entries. Please state a name of the entry along with the pictures. The thread closes on the 12th of September 2021 at (roughly) 23:59 CET (but we are not in a hurry, we can easily extend it if someone needs to finish their entry). You can also comment and discuss in this thread, it is not restricted exclusively for entries.
EDIT: The new deadline is 19th of September 2021 (Sunday).
