OWAC IV Overlord Offerings

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!

Lots of great painting in there, and I truly enjoy everyone of them! It's so fun receiving them through the year! I got one that says "Vive le Québec libre" on the base, some contestants sent me hand written notes and postcards. It was great! And then there's Byron who actually custom sculpted a figure just for me, based on my one of my all time favourite book cover, Fighting Fantasy' Temple of Terror. How freakin' awesome is that?! I am ashamed I haven't painted it yet, and I promise to do so before the end of the challenge!

So thanks to all the challengers. I cannot wait to see the next crop of offerings!
