Top Comments of this video!! :3
I think one of the main problems is the time saved by having someone else do insane amounts of work conceptualizing an idea and crafting it to give you a piece no one else has access to.
People saying all minis are sculped by someone else forget those minis are also available for everyone to use.

One thing to jot about the pictures is that they are done on the day the winners are announced so don’t have that much time with each model to get the best setup or shots. Would be great if they kept them for a while and spent more time giving a dedicated section to see close ups and all angles. Always enjoy these breakdown videos, gives a good incite to the top level painting

Ah, finally! :) I was hoping for you to make a video regarding the GD UK and here it is! :D Sharing most of your views, especially pleased to see a small move towards a more creative, open-minded approach this time again... There indeed were some extremely hard decisions to be made... Backdrops and Water Effects seem to be on the rise, which is great! Regarding Chris fantastic water base, I would have made a donut shaped clay sculpture that includes the waves, mold and cast it in clear resin, then glue it on the wood, put the painted foot in, then pour in the gaps and cover the transition with several water effects (Gel Denso, maybe some microballs, doll filling, nylon string, etc.)... Loving how perfect and clean Chris is about every single element of his projects... Not surprised to hear he has spent that many hours painting, figure he spent a similar amount into building all in all as well... :)

This was a great Video @Trovarion! Really enjoyed your commentary on all the pieces, I hope next year there will be better photos which you can show!
As for the photos, as someone who photographed the winning pieces at SMC and WME I can tell you that we have around 6 to 8 hours without public in the evening where we can photograph the entries. We usually photograph them on the tables (maybe move stuff around so it's less busy, where possible) so in that sense the GW photos are a great step up as they have a coherent background and lighting. What surprises me is that when they photograph the pieces in a dedicated spot why they don't turn them around three times to get every angle, and maybe photograph with a 2nd camera details? I guess the answer will be time, which is limited - no idea how much time they have to photograph the Top 3 after they have been chosen, could be pretty limited.

It was a great event this year, my first-time entering and the standard was excellent across all categories. The Warhammer 40000 and AoS single miniatures had around 7-8 crazily good entries per category and many below were very good indeed. Richard Gray's entry was into AoS single, and the Goblin Loonboss was tiny, and beautifully painted. The judging must have been extremely tough this year.
I heard many GW staff and incredible painters saying the standard this year had been completely lifted and many were just generally excited by that. It was so awesome to be a part of and has given me a lot of ideas and inspiration for next year. I'd really love to see GW bring back the Staff category as well as having the open.
There were some incredible entries from the Staff, including Darren's that took bronze, but many felt a little lost next to the busts and sculpts.
Great coverage and highly respectful opinions of the entries Trovarion, for anyone contemplating entering in future please do, the experience you get from being around other painters a lone is worth all the effort.
