Winning! 3rd place

So the Freebooter contest on WAMP just finished up a few days ago and I actually received 3rd place.  I'm totally blown away by this since I never win anything on the internet. Of course now I can't say that anymore.  Also Check out the winner I know I voted for it!

Here is my entry incase you missed it. Queen of Shadows from Freebooter Miniatures.

[pimp]Now if you like to paint for the fun of it and enjoy contests WAMP has a few other ones running right now.  The Hasslefree Contest  mostly nekkid girls, and the BaneLegions Contest for those that like big monsters.   They are a lot of fun and it's a great community, you should give it a try! [/pimp]

I will probably enter the Hasslefree contest as I already have one primed up on my work bench waiting for some paint.
I also promise to have an update on my current project very soon!

Queen of Shadows - Freebooter

Here is a miniature I didn't expect to paint up,  it just sort of happened.  WAMP forum holds many contests and the Freebooter contest is one of them.  My BFF just happened to have a few laying around and passed them onto me, since she was never going to get to them and I paint a lot more than she does. So I pulled out my favorite and started cleaning her up and planning the base.
I wanted to do something simple since I'm still working on my previous miniature's base and it is hours away from being done (yet oh so close).
Now even though she is for a contest she is no winning piece. I paint just for the journey and enjoyment of painting. I know I could never win any contest on WAMP because there are already so many amazing painters on the forum I don't stand a snowball's chance in hell.
But I did take the opportunity to learn / practice painting sheer materials.   I went through a lot of time painting her stockings sheer only to discover you can only see them from one angle.  
For those that are interested Portal Magazine had a great tutorial in it, Issue 21 I think. Also there is still plenty of time to paint up a miniature and enter the contest.
Anyways I hope you enjoy her as much as I do.
