The first two OWAC's, I encouraged members to "Pay the piper", i.e. to paint one figure for the Challenge's founder and administrator, me, AKA the Challenge Overlord. This was a way for me to be able to see "in the flesh" the painting style of each challenger, and a small payment for my work on the challenge (I love administering the OWAC but it is very time consuming).
With time these came to be known by the challengers as "Overlord offerings". Now, last year was a bit different as the Offerings were mandatory, and had to be be painted as admission fees and submitted in the intro post. It makes for a great and fun intro post, and I've started working some themes into them (this year will be everything pink and baby blue, my favourites colours!")
So as the OWAC V is about to start, here's last year's offerings!
