Strange Aeons atmospheric picture contest results

Here are the entries, 4 in total. A few people said stuff came in the way, like moving houses and other stuff. Hopefully there will be a few more entries next time. For a very exclusive theme and first time contest on a blog I think it's still OK.

"The Spider battles Deep One Cultists in Innsmouth"

Michael Domino

"The fool. He would still be alive if he hadn't messed with forces beyond his control. Old Josiah Curtin should have kept to his family vocation- running moonshine and causing trouble for the local law. I don't know what he thought he was doing, but he called up this thing... this formless thing. It crawled up from the lake, and his screams were horrible when he lost control of it. It began to literally consume him. No matter what he did, a man shouldn't have to die like that. I shot him in the head and ran like hell! I can still hear his screams.

Excerpt from the journal of Turk McDaniels, private investigator"

So really nice entries all of them. Having to pick one winner here's my motivation:

-For creating a dynamic and full of action setup that looks as if it belongs in a pulp comic book - the prize goes to Michael Fernie and his Spider in Innsmouth picture'

Congrats Michael, and you'll find something extra in your package which was not announced but which I had in mind also awarding to the winner. I'll make it a surprise but it should come in handy for your cultists ;-)

And huge thanks to Figouze, Cultist #3 and Michael Domino for also taking part in the very first contest on this blog :-)

Strange Aeons atmospheric picture contest

This is the first "Anatoli's Game Room contest" being held though I've had plans for something like this since before the summer. This contest is about posting the most atmospheric picture, it has to depict a scene connected to the Strange Aeons miniature game. Be it a diorama, cool setup or ongoing game.

How to rules:

1) To take part in this competition you simply have to email me a picture of good quality (at least 800x600 pixels and not shaky). Only 1 picture per entrant.

2) Your picture must contain at least 1 "Lurker" from the Strange Aeons rulebook or expansions represented by a proper miniature from the Uncle Mike's range to be a valid entry. You are free to include as many models as you like though.

3) All models in the picture must be painted, and you are required to include some sort of terrain. A blank piece of paper or fully photoshopped background do not count. You are however allowed to tweak with the picture in photoshop to make it more atmospheric.

4) Winner will be picked by me and announced two weeks from today, on November 30th. The winning picture along with all the others who entered will be posted here on the blog.

5) The picture can depict anything from vikings, napoleonics or any other period or setting mixed up with Lovecraftian madness. Use your imagination and resources to max out the "wow" factor.

E-mail your competition entry to "alexanderkawczynski@hotmail.com" and put "Contest picture"  in the title. Don't forget to submit your address!

The prize awarded to the winner is this unique limited run (no longer produced or sold) Frothers UK! sculpt of a grandfather clock inhabited by some sort of monster dragging some hapless victim inside. It was part of one of the Miniatures of Madness sculpting competition winners and part of a pack I bought earlier this year. It is made of white metal, and comes as seen on the pictures.

The piece is 28mm scale.

You can also look at the examples provided below of what would constitute an "atmospheric picture".

Good luck :-)
