Crystal Brush is the annual painting competition held at AdeptiCon.
I had previously entered my current favourite paint job at GottaCon for judging, partially because I wanted to see how it stood up. Kelly had given me some great advice, but with all that was going on before AdeptiCon, I didn’t have time to make any changes to the model.
I almost didn’t enter it. It doesn’t stand up against much in the case. In the end, I entered because I had the model right there, and the entry table was right there, and…
Anyway, here’s a bunch of photos of what I thought were the stand-up entries to the competition – either because they were really well done, or really original. Originality gets you a ton of points in my book, many more points than super smooth blends. 🙂

This is disgusting and wonderful. If I hadn’t sworn off McNuggets already, I would have done so now.

Super curious what this is a photo of. The thing in the back almost looks like an Aztec Warmachine model.

Not a huge fan of the angle…something about the posing felt off to me. But shit, who am I to judge – this is stunning work.

Rackham Goblins were the closest models to what I wanted to see in Goblins. This unit was well painted, and of some lovely Goblins!
