To go along with the theme of our current Kickstarter campaign, we at Ill Gotten Games are running a special Earhtenkind-themed sculpting contest!

CONTEST RULES Sculpt a clod soldier (or other Earthenkind character) by hand. All entries should:

• fit within 40mms in the X, Y, and Z dimensions.
• be sculpted using epoxy, clay, FIMO, Sculpey, or any other physical medium that can hold up on its own.
• be unpainted, showing the original materials.
• generally follow the style of other Earthenkind characters.

If your piece is selected, we'll ask you to mail it to us so we can scan it (and we'll cover shipping costs via PayPal). Your submission will then be mailed back along with any physical prizes. Any models that are selected will become available as free downloads as part of the Earthenkind collection, and all artists will be attributed.

DEADLINE Email pictures of your sculpt to illgottengames2012@gmail.com or tag #clodbash2021 and @illgottengames on Instagram before the end of 2021. We'll assess submissions and announce winners sometime early in 2022 (to allow time for shipping, scanning, processing, et cetera).

PRIZES

• First Place: $100 gift card to the Old School Archive, 3d prints of all selected entries
• Second Place: $50 gift card to the Old School Archive, 3d prints of all selected entries
• Third Place: $25 gift card to the Old School Archive, 3d prints of all selected entries

The Old School Archive storefront will be opening in December, and will be active by the time gift cards are issued. The selected Earthenkind submissions will be printed in resin and sent back along with the original master.

The model included in this post was sculpted by hand using modeling epoxy (by me, Dutchmogul), scanned into a 3d printable miniature with the technology we're using for the Old School Archive, and prints without support via FDM like the other Earthenkind models.
