    Olden Demon is my new favourite painting competition. The top 5 entries really were on an entirely different level.

    Those are some crazy good paint jobs, respect to them. And for running the contest - my Space Hulk 1st edition Blood Angel may be way back in the cheap seats (not complaining), but I'm proud to have him painted, and happy to have taken part.

    The winner is nuts. Like when you first look at it I get the impression 'yeah it's nice, but is it a winner?'
    But the more you acrually analyse it, the level of detail and technique is insane.

    It is MINDBLOWING, but also in a way not surprising, that many of these old sculpts look amazing with modern paint jobs using modern techniques and materials, honed 30 or more years out.
    I know a lot of old minis get some good natured ribbing, but seriously many are amazing sculptures that hold today even against the era of zbrush and ultra detailed plastics.
    Amazing work all!

    What is the name of the piece of John Blanche (?) art with a ship moving towards a planet? And was it originally in color like that? It’s gorgeous, might be my favorite 40k piece of art.

    • @OldenDemon
      @OldenDemon  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It's a scan from the John Blanche artbook circa 1993. The book was given out to people who collected Skullz points I believe.

    So... what would I have to do to get ahold of the icons you use to represent miniatures in your videos? I absolutely adore them.
    Actually, better question - how do you make them? Is it a simple process you could do on, say, GIMP?

    "Quality of miniature painting since the pandemic has taken a massive step up"...apart from mine. I'm worse now than when I was 16, and that was 20 years ago!
    Beautiful entries across the board. Well done all who took part (and psst...it was a Catachan Sgt. not a Cadian one).

    Thanks for organizing! As a suggestion I'd credit the entries commented in the first part of the video. This is a commercial platform, in the end. It's killing 2 birds with one shot, firstly way nicer to recognize the authors and also avoid any legal trouble.
