Round 1 - The Fellowship of 1989 vs. Encounter at Skull Harbor

[Hendrid]

Both very good entries, the LotR Fellowship got my vote just because the painting had a bit more depth/contrast. Both excellent entrants though.

Love the fellowship entry, my favourite of this round!

For me these are near the best two, seems a shame to vote

But the faces in the fellowship... WOW

@D@rth J@ymZ: Your setup is fantastic and you choose very unusual miniatures. All the best for the LPL!

[Keith]

Great entries guys.

As usual your presentation is flawless Frank.

[argsilverson]

Both great entries and also they blend well with each setting. Bravo.

I want to ask a question, since I am not very familiar with fantasy miniatures.
From the skull harbor: the figure in blue and yellow holding a bird (is that an owl I cannot find out) from which range/manufacturer is it?

[D@rth J@ymZ]

"The Encounter at Skull Harbor" is a Grenadier boxed set from 1988. The figure in blue and yellow holding the hooded falcon is described as a "Merchant".

Thanks for all the comments and a special nod to Frank.  There's absolutely no shame being beaten by your fantastic entry.  Good luck through the rest of LPL; although I doubt that you'll need it...

[DonVoss]

Great work, Frank.
I really like the mithril stuff. And you ve done the best with it...

[Blackwolf]

Brilliant work both

 Frank,I love your style,I think I try and do similar things,your just about 100 times better

[Bugsda]

Superlative presentation Frank, love it  Can't stand the figures but that's neither here nor there   

D@rth's entry get's my nod, superb colour choice sometimes wins out over precision  And I love that mer-lancer 

[jscottbowman]

The fellowship are very nicely done and its nice to see an alternative to the GW style...
My only critique - all the figures look like they've got their eyes closed.

Frank...may I call you Fantastic Frank!

[Teshub]

Damn Frank! is a tough draw,

you will do well with more entries like that D@rth J@ymZ

impressive and inspiring work both of you
