Quarterly Challenge

One Hue Challenge quarterly challenge from 10/02 to 12/30

It's time for a break. That's right, a break from robots, humanoids, and other bipedal creatures....it's time to get a little more wild. It's time to paint animals as realistically as possible!

Your task is to paint a complete miniature. It must be a wild animal. It can be fantasy, science fiction, or realistic. The idea is to avoid intelligent creatures (like Skavens, Seraphons, etc.) and focus on more wild creatures (bulls, horses, etc.).

The purpose of this challenge is for you to paint an exclusively animal model to experience the complexity of textures, shapes, and similarities that a wild creature has as opposed to a humanoid or similar character.

We’d like to see you employ stippling, zenithal highlighting all the animal musculature, trying to imitate weird and interesting patterns and more. Grab a few references of the animal you’re trying to paint to study before giving it a go.

Submission Requirements

  • The model can be any type of scale! 
  • The model can be from any brand! 
  • The model should only be the animal. Avoid using riders or similar.

    You want additional points, don't you? Mother nature have decided to put up some additional challenges: 

    • OSL Effect: Animals often have a lot of muscles, which makes them a great candidate for OSL! Include an OSL effect on your animal and if you want to make it especially challenging, have it coming from the lower side of the model competing against a more natural over-head light.  

      Does it have to be a real-world animal? Does it have to be fantasy? Or science fiction?

      • As long as it's a wild animal from any universe, it's perfectly acceptable!

      When does it need to be finished?

      • December 30, 2024.

      Can I use models already painted?

      • Models must be new, assembled, or primed at the start of the challenge.
      • You cannot use models painted before the quarterly as part of an army submission. Painting an entire army from scratch is required.

      What scale can we choose?

      • You can choose any miniature of any scale and from any brand you want! 

      Can the miniature be 3D printed? Or must it be a plastic, metal or resin-casted type?

      • You can choose any miniature you want!!
