MV Challenge 2018

Hello Jungle painters, 
it has been far too long since we challenged you, right?

MV Challenge 2017 was the last contest we held here in the jungle, aimed for you to make new experiences with waterbases and cool kids toys to paint. MV challenges will always aim to push you forward and by taking part we garantuee you to gain so much progress and happy hobby joy.

We ask you to show your creativity, show us your skills and put your knowledge to test, but most important: All levels of painters on their journeys are invited to take part. This ain't about winning cash prizes, this is about heart. Paint like you are and happy painting are the guiding words for this contest, but the topics are quite uncommon again.




Let us introduce these two challenges to you:

Josua and Roman came to the conclusion to set this up once more, this time in collaberation and support of Mr. Lee's Miniatures.

Both topics are very different in topics, but this time similar at the same time. It is all about
STORYTELLING. Marie Fleur and the Penguins.
These are the subjects. You create the stories.
You can participate in both in the given timeframe with one entry per category.

We will now guide you through the ruleset of this contest and of course show you what you can win if you pick up your brushes and basing skills for this magnificant tsunami of fun. In the end of this announcement you will find the overall rules for this event and MV's prizes that we got ready for you.


PENGUIN - CHALLENGE RULES

- Create and tell a story with penguins
- You are allowed to tell whatever story you want in creating small, big, wild or calm dioramas and small scenes. Your imagination is the only limit. Go crazy, go melancholic, go wild, go abstract, go beautiful in your creation.
- You are not limited in the size or shape of your base and can basicly  do whatever you like, if there is at least one penguin included. You can add other figures to your scene.
-You can use every penguin sculpt you want or even sculpt your own. If you want to support a good cause head over to Mr. Lee's Minis, grab a handful of Emporer Penguins and help us support sealeagcy.org



Design and Sculpt by Benjamin Taylor
Cast by Hysterical Games
Mr Lee's Minis is proud to bring another charity project to the community. Alongside Roman Lappat, and Josui Lai, we will donate £1 from each sale to https://www.sealegacy.org/donate for the conservation efforts of sealife! We will also put together a small contest to go along with these pieces in the near future! Cast in high quality resin, and supplied as 2 pieces. The large penguin is 30mm and the smaller one 20mm in size. Due to the size, some clean up or bubbles might need to be filled
.




MARIE FLEUR - CHALLENGE RULES

- Create and tell a story with the sculpt of "Marie Fleur", sculpted by Benedikt Sedlmair
- You are allowed to tell whatever story you want in creating small, big, wild or calm dioramas and small scenes. Your imagination is the only limit. Go crazy, go melancholic, go wild, go abstract, go beautiful in your creation.
- You are not limited in the size or shape of your base and can basicly do whatever you like, if there is at least one "Marie Fleur" sculpt included. You can add other figures to your scene.
- For some inspiration you can check back with Roman's version of Marie Fleur.





Overall Challenge Rules

as soon as the calender hits the 16th on Roman's time (located in Augsburg, Germany) entries are not accepted. You will recieve a confirmation mail once your entry was checked. Please write your full name and adress to the email. We need this in case you will win a prize.

Judging both challenges will be judged by the team of this contest, Josua, Kyle and Roman.

We have tons of prizes waiting for you. A big random prize pool prepared, but we will not drop everything at once at you.We will update the random prize pool during the active competition time.


Very important for us:
Speaking about the MV challenge: If you are someone still missing a challenge prize from last years challenge please write an email with your adress to: jarhead(at)massivevoodoo(dot)com

Life kicked me(Roman) in the nuts earlier this year and I put this task far aside as I was just not able to ship the last couple remaining parcels as I had significant other priorities. I am very sorry for this, but it is time to get things sorted out and if you drop me your adress again I get things rolling. Thank you for your patience on this! The jungle never forgets.
