Theme: “Close Enough”

We’re happy to announce Miniature Painting Challenge #005. This time the theme for the challenge is Сlose Enough.
For this challenge, you need to replicate a scene from a movie, video game, pop culture, or even a meme.
You can be as silly or as serious as you want. It’s not mandatory to replicate it one to one, as long as we can look at it and say “Close Enough” it should be good.

An amazing example piece was painted by our Guest Judge Maria Zur Nedden. The inspiration for it was the timeless, classic scene from Titanic.

Entry Requirements and Registration

The point of the challenge is to finish your entry within the given timeframe. (April 5th- May 30th). This is why the submissions are split into two stages.
