Hi guys,
About 5 weeks ago I decided that I'd try and enter GD, I've never been before so I figured I'd just do it. Now I've basically run out of time on the figure, there are some rough bits but I'm happy.
My aims with this were to not embrass myself and to paint something better than I've done before, which I think I've done, so happy enough, though it won't win anything.

This is easily just as good as some of entries that have won a Golden Demon in the not so distant past, Jonagon. And while I don't think you'll walk away with a statue this year because of the quite frankly insane level of competition, if your work keeps improving at the rate that it is, then it is only a matter of time, perseverance and effort before you manage to win yourself a really ugly looking trophy.
All you need to do is keep pushing and challenging yourself.
Your NMM looks amazing as always but what really looks great (and that people can rarely get right) is the face. Good job man.
Awesome job! Really improved from your previous pieces (and they were excellent to begin with!) can tell you pushed yourself on this one! ;D Love the blends and NMM, really inspires me to pick up the brush again.
I wish you luck at GD, I hope that you at least get a 1st round certificate, because this really deserves it.
You've already won some Karma ;) +1
Thanks very much guys, appreciate it! :)
Just to let you know guys, I got a finalist medal for this, didn't win anything but got some great comments from the judges and other GW sculptors/painters so I can go on to improve from here. Super happy with that, in a really hard catagory. :)

Congratulations!
Well done mate ;) Already looking forward to what you will come up with next year.
Very well done, he looks super impressive up there on his display base. Something for the rest of us to aspire to :)
