I my gosh, the minaitures are great, but the painting is again superb!!

I am really impressed with the face of this guy at the left: he even has perfect teeth and lips!!!  :o

Did you do any tutorial explaining how you paint the skin? That could be a way to stop hating you  :D

On the 'Recent Posts' sidebar all you can see of the title of this thread is "Captain Blood's Twilight."

I had resisted clicking on it because I had no desire to look at a bunch of sissy vampires mooning about and falling in love with schoolgirls, however well-painted.

I'm very glad that curiosity finally got the better of me, though, because this is even more magnificent than Blood's usual fare, if such a thing is even possible.

Aww. Thanks Plynkes  :)

I've never watched Twilight. But you've got me thinking about sissy Early Saxon vampires falling in love with sub-Roman Vestal virgins... I think that might work  ;)

Absolutey brilliant.  I may as well chuck my early Saxons in the bin.

...sub-Roman Vestal virgins.

Would that make them vestigial virgins, then?

All round absolutely lovely.  8) :-*

The hair really stands out for me, both in its sculpting and painting.  :-*
