After a ton of planning and coordinating, we are good to launch this year’s TTRPG model painting competition! (Yay!)
But first, we would like to give a special thanks to you, as, after all, thanks to your fantastic fellowship and support, and that of the other members of this wonderful community, this printing obsession is possible. So, THANK YOU!!!
Now, get your paints & painting station prepped, calibrate your 3D printer, get your painting hand warmed up, and (most important) choose your favorite Printed Obsession models.
Select your desired PO STL file and get the printing started!
If you’d like to paint something special, you can browse for your favorite design on PO’s MMF Store.
And, if you’d like to participate but do not have a 3D printer, don’t worry; you can get your already-printed PO models over on Only-Games.
The painting contest opens on June 1st and closes on July 1st
This means you’ll have 30 days to submit your entries.
These amazing pro painters, 3D printers, and 3D model designers will judge your work:

General Rules:
You can paint and submit any of Printed Obsession’s current and past models. Minis must be printed at a maximum of 120% of its original size (20% increase) or less. All minis - obviously - must be painted by yourself; otherwise, you will be disqualified. You can submit multiple entries to the contest—as many as you can paint. You are allowed to make busts out of models, but they can’t be modified or kitbashed either digitally or physically in any other way. Bases/dioramas can be customized but won't be decisive to win. You can't include content from other Patreons or creators (only by yourself or PO). Photos can't be edited by any kind of software or be post-processed. You can do minor tweaks like saturation, levels, etc.. to convert the .raw format file. You can't overpaint or edit certain parts of the picture to fix mistakes.
The final photos must be attached to the email in .jpg (jpeg), max size: 2 MB. Photo quality counts, so make sure to capture your minis’ “good side”. Send at least 3 photos from different angles. We recommend using gray background to facilitate the evaluation. Low-quality photos will make evaluation very difficult, so deficient-quality images or those that don't meet the requirements will not be evaluated.
Here’s a Miniature Photography Tutorial to help: Mini Photo Tutorial
