Urban Mammoth Rocks!

No, really :)

Some time ago now, I was involved in a "Survivor" style painting contest, called "The Last Painter Standing" on The Miniatures Page. It was pretty cool, and out of over 100 initial contestants, I made it through several rounds of submitted pics of miniatures to the final 11. At this point, we all had the same mini to paint, and do a huge write-up on. This was interesting, but of course, the pressure really started to build, as I made it through the First Round, and onto the Second round. This one was a bity tight, and my vision of a superhero, gun-toting swordsman nearly got me voted off. At htis point, several painters had been unable to finish, and a few have been voted off. The ranks were starting to thin out and there was realistically about 5 rounds to go to win. The Third round was sweet. I really liked my entry, but the figure we all had for the Fourth Round gave me fits. I had a vision, and I executed fairly closely I think, but it was so far out there that this us where I did get the vote... There was only three other painters left after this anyways, I believe, and the remaining figs were large and awkward.

Anyways, the reason behind this story is that a company called I-Kore, who is now Urban Mammoth sponsored the whole contest. Everything was free, and we had the pleasure of painting the stuff, and keeping it... all for some stellar work and awesome write-ups. This same company sent me a few of their new releases a while ago, and yesterday, I received some more! They are cool figs, and now I will have to paint some for sure! Stay tuned :D
