Bad News/Good News
The bad news is that I didn't get my project done in time for Games Day Chicago. :-( I tried really hard, pushing myself to get my figure done in time for the event, but I just didn't manage to pull it together in time. So, with that in mind, I stayed home. I really wasn't feeling too good about myself or my abilities because of that particular setback. I felt like I let the Project MMVII group down, as well as myself.
The good news is that I'm going to Games Day LA to enter my project there! I already have my flight booked and some tenative travel arrangements. Hopefully, it will be a good trip for me. I'm kinda surprised that GD LA would follow so closely on the heels of Chicago, but at this point, I don't have much room to argue. That also doesn't leave me much other time to paint, either! I'm hoping that I can turn this into a good showing on my behalf, but we'll see how things turn out.
That doesn't leave me much more time to work on stuff for GenCon, which will be immediately after Games Day. No bets on how many entries I'll have done for GenCon though...

GenCon Painting Contests?
So I was looking at the stuff for GenCon, which will be following Games Day by two weeks... The various categories there present an opportunity to paint something different from Games Workshop minis, especially if I try for any of the manufacturer's awards. Last year, I managed to snag a gift certificate from Reaper for a unit of Half-Elf Deathseekers. If I'm going to attempt any such entries, I'll have to plan them out a little bit so I can make a quick transition of my paint time immediately following Games Day. I'm not betting that I'll win any awards at GenCon, but that goes for ALL painting competitions. Besides, I'll be there with my friends anyway. That's the important bit.

Pre-Games Day
Hey wow.. It's a week before Games Day and I'm freaking out trying to get my stuff painted again. What else is new?
I'm really hoping to get my entry finished as part of the Project MMVII team. I'm thinking there's going to be some sleepless nights in the next week, though. I just really pray that my final piece does justice to the rest of the entries and doesn't look like complete crap in comparison.
