The Black Accord Challenge is an online miniature painting competition focused on collaboration, cohesion, and creativity.
Entrants will compete in teams of two. Each person paints one miniature (or one half of a larger scene), with the final submission judged as a combined entry rather than as two separate models.
The core challenge is not simply painting two good miniatures — it is creating two pieces that feel intentionally connected despite being painted by different people.
-Narrative and storytelling
-Colour palette and mood
-Basing style and environmental details
-Lighting and atmosphere
-Shared themes or iconography
-Matching or complementary painting styles
-Two characters from the same story
-Allied or rival models
-Linked duel scenes
-Shared scenic bases or dioramas
-Mirrored compositions
-Before/after narrative moments
-Different factions united through atmosphere or setting
The competition celebrates both technical painting skill and the ability to collaborate artistically across distance.
