Post by: Bugsda on June 29, 2009, 02:28:21 AM: What a choice :o

Orcs fantastic use of colour v Grimms superb and subtle naturilism. I'm gonna' defer voting, somehow a coin toss seems disrespectful ;)

Post by: Orctrader on June 29, 2009, 02:25:00 PM: Grimm, your entry is fantastic. :)

(And, as the temperature soars here in England your Arctic scene is rather cooling to look at. ;) )

Post by: Pil on June 29, 2009, 06:51:44 PM: Amazing! What a stand-off! :o

Orctrader: great clean painting as usual, and some great details like the map and the tats. The mammoth looks a bit dull next to it though, and also appears to be a somewhat roughly sculpted model ;)

Grimm: very original take on the idea and superbly executed. Since the beginning of the league (Führerschein bitte!) I was impressed by your great photos which were made by the great and realistic scenery you put your well painted models in. Every entry of yours was inspiring. This one is no exception. If my vote made you the winner of this league I can only say it's well deserved.

Thanks. :)

Once the LPL is over I have some more...well, lots more photos. In fact, enough to start a brand new "Lost World" gallery on my Website.

I have some group shots of the Cavemen and Explorers on terrain! (Yes, I know. Orctrader using terrain. ;) ) Unfortunately I was unable to pose everything together for the competition photo.

And I have individual photos of each figure - apart from the Mammoth. Which is not a great sculpt. :?

Terrain. Don't worry. I won't be making it a habit ;) :D Besides, where would I store it all? I barely have enough space for all the figures! :?

What this non-sense ! Is it one of this stupid TV show where they swap their life for one day ! :o

About the final, I will vote but I don't know for who : I'm a huge fan of OT's colors ; he has such a style ! But Grimm's pic is so realistic...

meow,
Matt

Post by: Malebolgia on July 02, 2009, 11:51:08 AM: Great finale! It's like a five set tennis game which goes to 20-18 for the winner in the fifth set.
For me Grimm won the match point with his terrific realistic entry. Not only is the entry superb, I also think it is his best one yet. The colors work well, the photo is superb, the backdrop is simply gorgeous and it all just clicks together.
OT's painting is superb as normal. The adventurers show what OT is best at: using bold and popping colors and paint schemes to create a rich and strong colorscheme that looks really nice. I do think the monster sculpt is not a very good one and it lets the shot down somewhat. I can imagine that the painting pressure of the LPL makes it hard to finish the monster at the same quality as the rest. But all in all still a great entry. The adventurers and natives are terrific.
