Dolmot. I love the fish people. Alas you have encountered the maestro in top form!

Post by: Axebreaker on June 02, 2013, 02:39:25 PM: Nice work Dolmont for sure, but the Admiral's work on "Into the Wilderness" is simply superb and the center gents sword is fantastic metal work! :-* :-*

Post by: Drachenklinge on June 02, 2013, 04:10:14 PM: wow :o ... I think the top one is my absolute favorite so far! Colors, bases, character, mini's choices ... love it all!

I am also noticing, though, that the "frogs" are VERY well done, too. The green layers (I especiall like them brighter bellies!), the fitting bases, etc.

best wishes
DK

Post by: D@rth J@ymZ on June 02, 2013, 06:02:00 PM: Both of these are excellent.
The execution on the Admiral's entry is top notch as expected and I always love a good fishmen group.
Tough choice.

Post by: Thargor on June 02, 2013, 08:19:43 PM: Outstanding work from you both, well done gents.

Post by: warburton on June 02, 2013, 10:57:26 PM: Both excellent entries -- and a very difficult choice.
Title: Re: Round 8 - Into the wilderness vs. Waist-deep ones
Post by: Ray Rivers on June 03, 2013, 01:24:23 PM: Those deep ones came out very nicely. Well done!

The Admiral, however, has put together one of the best entries in the competition to date.

Geez... Admiral! o_o

I think that is a fair statement!

Post by: Dolmot on June 08, 2013, 02:49:34 PM: You are free to call it a tough choice but I know a good clobbering when I see (or feel) one. lol

Not that I'd have voted otherwise. Especially the Reaper friar must be the jolliest monk I've ever seen. I still want one regardless of having no actual use for him. The porter is a classic too. And the painting is as great as stated here several times.

I also admit happily exploiting the cheap palette allowed by my genre choice. I got through the whole batch with about five colours. I guess people managed to catch my bluff/slacking. :D

The small minis are...umm...AD&D Sahuagin? (Never played AD&D or its derivatives other than NetHack.) The large ones are Ugdru-Rashaar for Carnevale by Vesper-on. Sort of plain sculpts but that's fine for fast painting. Besides, my underwater squad is an equal opportunity employer. Ability to swim would be recommendable for a long-term career, though.

"Enchantment under the sea" could have made a nifty alternative title...

Post by: thebinmann on June 08, 2013, 03:24:52 PM: Yes it was, in the end, a clear cut win/loss but I think what people meant was the choice was tough due to the quality of your entry; they could have been a lot of 50-50s tat went the other way...
