The title says it all, the 'Epic Fail' theme bonus round is now live in the gallery.
This week we have a somewhat smaller number of submissions, but the imagination, humour (sometimes rather dark) and quality are still there in abundance.
As
to my self, I'm afraid I was quite ill for a good part of the week and
so I had to put aside my original entry and fall back on something I
could finish in the short time available. So I return to a project I
began a few years ago which easily fits within the theme of 'Epic Fail'
as it did then for 'Cold' (I know there will be a few groans amongst you
here) and that is the French retreat from Russia 1812.
I
provide here a single figure depicting a French officer who is
attempting to rally his comrades. In my mind's eye I see
breath misting, desperate figures shuffling through the snow, and the ominous shadows of Cossacks emerging from a distant
treeline.
28mm figure by Perry Miniatures and arguably one of their best sculpted ranges.
Those visiting the gallery will be treated to a beautiful vignette on the same subject created by the very talented StephenS.
Okay folks, please remember to vote for all your favourite entries. Voting will close next Saturday at 11:45pm CST.
Enjoy!
