TEXICON 2017

Welcome to Texicon's 2017 Painting Contest!

This year will be exciting as we have two guest Judges who will be reviwing models Via Skype!

Judges This Year are:

James "jimbo" Burrell

Owner operator of ACPGames. Twenty-five years in the game industry, from Reaper to Games workshop. Designer, model sculptor painter with various wins from Golden Deamon to Reaper Sophies.

David "Dwartist" Woods

Freelance painter with more years than most have gaming, does multiple companies painting as well as for many popular Kickstarters.

Anton DuCrote

Owner operator of Flytrap Factory, sculptor for Warlord games, battlefront and many others including Weta.

We will of course be judging on several basic ideals;

Judging Criteria:

Clean figure (no mold lines)
Smooth colors and color balance as well as color compliments
The use of shade and highlights
Use of special effects (OSL,Zenital lighting)

So get your models and paints and get cracking!

RULES:

Model registration will start Friday at show opening and run until Saturday at 6pm.

Judging will be at 10am Sunday CST (We have international judges skyping in.)

Model owner will be able to drop off models starting Friday for the display case and will remain until Sunday after the awarding of winners. NOTE: DO NOT BRING A MODEL YOU WISH TO GAME WITH!

Saturday at the close of the convention will be the end of model drop off and the beginning of judging.

Since the extra judges are in differing time zones this is mandatory and for your ease!

Model owners will fill out an entry form, that will include:

Name
Address
Cell Number(in case we need to reach you)
Email Address

These entry forms will be coded. These code will help insure ownership and prevent theft of models.

You must present your own model in person. Your model may NOT be entered by a third party! Your entry code will be texted to your cell phone, so you may use the code for pick up.

And by no means do NOT ask judges if they've judged your model. After judging is finished you may pick your model up at 4:00 pm Sunday afternoon. If this becomes an issue the judges have the right to disqualify you and return your model to you.
