- There are two kinds of awards at Reapercon- merit based and competitive.
- For the merit based awards, the judges pick one entry from each painter and give it a gold. silver, bronze, certificate or nothing. This is nice because they had around a thousand entries, so you can still get an award if you're not in the top three. I got two gold medals this year.
- The competitive awards are mostly for certain manufacturers. The Bronze Sophie was for best painted Reaper miniature, which is a pretty competitive category. The silver and gold minis looks fantastic, and to be honest, so did many of the minis that didn't place.

Sorry, I can't remember but do you own chibi?
Lol.
I paint full time on commission projects (split between gaming miniatures of all types and geek wedding cake toppers- which are essentially just larger minis). So a lot of the minis I paint get sent out into the world, but i also paint a lot on my own time as well (when I'm not 'working').
I haven't ever officially painted something for Impact! Miniatures, but I don't mind if Tom uses my pictures for promotion (he's a really pleasant guy, and always asks first).
