So here's my first entry to the Challenge:
To
bring myself and my brushes up to operating temperature for this years
challenge I wanted to stay within the theme of the challenge with my
first submission.
Ever since Curt has announced this years topic I knew what I wanted to do for the Entry Fee figure. Back
then when West Wind did their "Empire of the Dead" Kickstarter I almost
joined in because of the dark and menacing look of the Steampunk world
they created which I liked a lot. But as I had (and still have) much too
many distractions on my table I passed on the chance and said to myself
that one day I could still paint the one or other figure.
So
when looking for suitable figures I knew it had to be something from
that range and indeed I found a figure which to my mind perfectly
matches Curt's description of the to be Entry Fee figure.
