Painting Challenge complete! Also, Captain Hawk

Last weekend the Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge ended. It was my first one, and I really enjoyed the impetus it gave to my painting.

Here's what I planned to paint, way back in December:

And here's the final output. I got most planned things completed, but not all, yet was able to add more things to my final output.

Keen-eyed readers will note more than a few figures that haven't shown up on this blog yet- treat them as a spoiler and watch this space!

Captain Jim Hawk

There is one figure missing from the group shot, and it was my entry piece. All entrants have to send a figure to Curt, the organiser, and in turn he donates to the Saskatchewan Humane Society.

The 'Curtgeld' entries have to have a theme- this year it was a risk-taker or gambler. I chose this figure from Laughing Monk of 'Captain Jim Hawk'.



So, now the pressure's off as the Challenge ends, but I have more than a few projects to sustain me throughout the year!

    Very impressive mate! I thoroughly enjoyed seeing your stuff over the course of the Challenge and I hope you'll be back next time. My favourite by a country mile was the Halflings...

    Well done with your final output.
    The eyes on your Capt Hawk figure really make the figure stand out, superb.
