Feedback MVPs
During the painting period for the contest, there was a WIP megathread where entrants could post work in progress photos and anyone could offer advice. During the community vote, people were also able to nominate up to three different people who went above and beyond in that feedback thread.
There were a lot of helpful people giving feedback, but the three feedback MVPs for this contest are:
A big thank you to you three, and everyone else that offered advice! The minis that were painted for this contest wouldn't have been the same without all of your help.
For our feedback MVP winners, please send us a message in modmail if you'd like a special "Fall 2022 Contest Feedback MVP" user flair to mark your achievement.
