The Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge

Welcome to the Painting Challenge. Here you will find the fabulous, fevered work of miniature painters from around the world. While participants come from every ethnicity, gender, age and nationality, they have three things in common: they love miniatures, they enjoy a supportive community, and they want to set themselves against the Challenge. This site features the current year's event along with the archives of past Painting Challenges. Enjoy your visit and remember to come back soon.

From ChrisF - Knights Solar 25mm mounted Rohan Standard Bearer(30 pts)

This is a Heritage casting done for Elan Merch in 1980. It is listed as part of a diorama set " On to Helm's Deep" #1713 - d for the Lord of the Rings line.

He is listed as Guthlaf, Standard bearer to the King, and perished at his King's side in the Battle of Pelennor Fields.

I studied back a bit on previous posters that painted horses as I don't do a lot of mounted figures. I think I need to consider contrast when painting a miniature like this. A few areas come out good, but the right side in particular really muddled together.
