WYRD CARD HOLDER:

Darklord!

Don't see your name? Don't panic!! Well, panic first, and then just slip me a PM, I'll straighten it out.

I assume that we will have some DID NOT FINISH (DNF) entries. That is to be expected, and we'll deal with it as we go.


Remember, you aren't painting against the whole field, just your matchup!

Oh, and the important element of the THEME: Also chosen randomly from my 'incredible book of themes':


The Color Purple.

How you choose to interpret that theme is really up to you. There really is no wrong way, but remember theme counts for an entire 25% of your score, so don't blow it!


Deadline! Yes we have one. Your pictures will need to be uploaded to the correct Gallery (There will be one up soon) by

Sunday Feb 8 at 6 PM central US time (look it up!)


Will Bexley retain his crown?

Three of our four champions have returned to take what is theirs, who will stop them?

Will Sculpta the Squig show who is boss?

Is this the Year for Hinton?

All this and much much more will be answered in this massive Iron Painter, which begins:


NOW.


Smack talk is obviously encouraged, and is not meant to be downright mean.

However, I will be the 'smacktalk' judge. Throughout the season, I'll possibly give random prizes, and maybe even a small bonus .5 to WHOMEVER brings the BEST smackage!

Cool Thanks for getting the list up so quickly. Good luck everyone.

[PG_Bu]

Good luck!

Poor Beelzebrush, coming up against a total stranger!

[Beelzebrush]

Good luck!

Poor Beelzebrush, coming up against a total stranger!

Meh!

I haven't painted in about a year so this should be interesting... (feck! I'm getting excuses in already :D)

PG_Bu, you'll need red and yellow to mix a nice purple

[Brushmistress]

Ok - where's my competition Dragons-ire lurking? Only one post?!? Good luck where ever you may be. :D

[PaintMinion]

Wow. Interesting matchups for my immps...

Nightshade vs. Nameless
KatieG vs. Bexley
Neolis vs. Duende
Ringsnake vs. Skya
PaintMinion vs. Dargrin

I would have been shouting "IMMPS RULE! IMMPS RULE! IMMPS RULE" , emphasizing the faith in my immps on the left side to really bring it on...but then Ringsnake and Skya are both immps...but heck no, the chant still works! IMMPS RULE! IMMPS RULE! IMMPS RULE! The ultimate bastion of the Cult of Purple and Teal! IMMPS RULE!


I'm off to watch Oprah now....

[v22TTC]

Good luck everyone!

LavronYor: An honour to do battle, Sir! I remember liking several of your previous pieces - wish I had more for you to have a gander at.

Especially good luck to Commander Y: no disrespect to Thryth (who I like very much) but I don't want the Commander getting knocked out before I get my chance to publicly excoriate him....:vb_devil:

1) Match-up: Crud. That's going to ruin my third-round streak. :( CommanderY and his painting skills. :(
2) Theme: Crud. Color Theme! Ugh!
3) Um, Super, I hope you mean Sunday (2/8), but not 2/6.
4) Smacktalk: Crud. Wait! Does self-smackage count? I'm going to get seriously defeated! CommanderY could enter a barely primed mini and beat me!

Oh! Wait! Maybe that's an approach I can take? Don't put any effort into your mini CommanderY, you'll win by miles!

Ringsnake vs. Skya

It's going to be difficult to get up the motivation to paint when I know for a fact that I'm going to get my ass kicked.

1) 3) Um, Super, I hope you mean Sunday (2/8), but not 2/6.

Hoo hoo!

I certainly do.

I shall fix that, right this very second!

(in an effort to save money, I'm using calenders from previous years....they really are quite cheap!)
