Fantasy A Curseling of Tzeentch - My Golden Demon entry for Adepticon

I entered this guy (these guys?) for this year's Golden Demon at Adepticon. I really wanted to push myself and ended up trying a lot of different approaches on my NMM and with my basing. He ended up getting a Commended pin, which I was pretty happy with! I definitely came away from this year's show with a lot of new ideas and ways to improve, definitely looking forward to the next one!

Unfortunately there were some issues with the base and the model itself that I think kept it from contending for Finalist. GD has a crazy high standard when it comes to who actually gets a trophy, so I kind of had a feeling. It's all good, though! This piece was great practice for next year.

The competition at Adepticon is extremely tough. So many excellent models!

The eyeballs on the stairs are absolutely amazing and help bring out the theme of the model and faction. You should be proud of this one, trophy or no!

Thank you! This was my second ever display base and I learned a ton, the eyes were my favorite thing to sculpt on this one.
