    Hey Christoph, let me just add some things to your comments as an Ex-GW-employee who has been in the Golden Demon jury for three years, back in the days where we had Games Days in Germany. First of all, it is really, really hard to come up with standards of how to judge so many brilliant entries, whittling them down to just a handfull of finalists alone is a painful process. Back in the day, it was down to each individual judge personally (including last year‘s winner) how to weigh creativity, execution and other factors. We were not given any agenda or scheme to follow by the company, which many painters actually assumed we would. One thing that is overlooked by most people who only get to see the pictures is that lacking consistency was often a crucial criteria, meaning that if you have like five absolutely smashing entries and two have to go, oftentimes little inconsistencies on the back or side of the entry are crucial. And you usually do not see this on the pictures. I am happy to answer questions if you have any 😊

    I dont think you can have a true painting competition without having a full list of how people will be judged and having a specific model that will be for that competition.
    Alot of times people think the cooler looking model should win. Or maybe it does. People were upset with that skink last year, but it was on point. Still a model can have alot of effecton on the overall presentation.
    The judges should also be listed ahead of time and their prior experience and what they are looking for would be nice but hard to do.
    If everyone had to Paint Horus for an event we would get to compare execution of that model and be able to compare between them all.

    One thing coming from a different area of competition (Winter Drumline) I do wonder if even how simple a scorecard would be to some extent. To me it's crazy that you either know you won, were commentated, a finalist, or nothing. It can be hard to realize where you need to improve in their eyes, and if anything how close to the next bracket you were. I feel like they need a bit more robustness in the scoring and transparency in it to promote better competitive health. A lot of resentment can come out if one person wins and the other doesn't and they don't ever know why. I'd rather disagree with a judge than to have that animosity directed towards fellow competitors.
    I understand this is done in expo's and probably isn't as supported as wide as it is, but if it's such an accolade, the process should actually make it feel purely earned and not dice roll.

    Of the two I think I prefer the high elf by Jose David Gonzalez Ramos as the cape reminds me a lot of rose petals, something about the saturation and slight peach tone in the highlights contrasted against the deep magenta/purple shadows is just very pleasing to me, also the base just has more of a contrasting palette from that of the mini which makes it appear more interesting to me. overall the light and dark balance also seems a lot more dynamic which I enjoy. Both are wonderful but Jose's is my favourite.

      There is a very similar looking 3D printable Demon Perturabo but it’s not quite as nice looking as this one. I was thinking of doing the similar conversion myself but it’ll never get painted. Need to know where he got the helm

    No, they haven't. Until they give card blank to all independent creators and Alphabusa is back with their 40k project they have not listened.

    The whole exercise still seems pretty toxic. It seems like the criteria is "everything other than what would encourage newcomers." And one might say, of xourse, we want to reward skile, talent, and time spemt on one model. Okay, so maybe make separate categories for first timers, creativity, etc. Because as it is a lot of people are not motivated and are actually discouraged by it. Even amazing past winners I hear saying they are not interested in entering anymore.

    Honestly there were also a lot lot of highly respected public figures (grey, comets, ex eavy etc) that made high level entries and didn’t get a trophy. I feel like that may have added pressure to expand the perceived reward of entering the competition but not necessarily winning a demon.
