These are both fantastic. The hardest choice I've had to make voting wise.

Wow.
Both brilliant.
Patrick - superb brushwork as ever.
Curt - that is a very daring entry, but wonderfully executed.
Well done to both of you.

as said .. both entries are brilliant!
I went for the black&white theme, though. If it wasn't for the red cap I nearly thought the entry would have been a black&white pic. Since it is such a close shave, I like to honor that by letting it influence me to the final decision.  :-*
Also, though I think, the "Scoobys" were done with great colors, I also think, that it is far more difficult to put on such a great impact just with a black&white thing. Marvelous!

best wishes - thanks to both!

Wow!  Thelma has got her high beams on!  Amazing painting on the scooby bunch...and the Great War figures are amazing as well...what a fun idea.

Cheers,

The toughest choice so far - you both deserve my vote.

Great work from both painters.

Man, Chambers, your stuff always looks fantastic up close- you always have the most crisp photos in the competition.

That grayscale entry is haunting and clever. Very cool!

Thank you all very much for the kind words - it's much appreciated.

Chambersofminiatures: I love your Scooby Gang, especially that badass Velma - brilliant stuff.

I realize my entry is somewhat 'in the margins' and will most likely be trounced but it comes from a project that is close to my heart and I thought I'd put it forward as an entry.

I've always wanted to try my hand with a greyscale project similar in concept to Carmen's excellent '30 pulp adventure and Vikotnik's brilliant Nosferatu works. I chose the Great War as a theme as it seemed well suited to the stark greyscale treatment and there are so many amazing figures available for the period (@former user: the rank-and-file are from Great War Miniatures whereas the officer is an Artizan Design model).

If interested, there are some more pics from the project (along with a somewhat long-winded description) here:

Thanks again!

Both entries deserve to win!

Unfortunately I have to choose only one  :(

The toughtest match of round 2 IMO.

Good luck to both of you.

Both entries are very well executed and completely different in every way. Wonderful work guys.

Two stunning entries!
 :-*

A lovely rendition of Scooby and Friends, and an excellent work in B+W/
Tough choice....

@Curt - I read a bit into Your "long winded" introduction  ;)
and I find it intrigueing, interesting and remarkable. I have rarely encountered wargamers who by their "hobbywork" would make such a strong statement and comment about the fact that we are gaming war. I think Your project should be exhibited, at least virtually. I will follow with great interest.

As everybody said very difficult choice. Two great entries that would have easily won if opposed to lot of others.
Very unfair for voters.

Amazing. Excellently painted bright colours versus miniatures in greyscale with the red cap standing out like a lighthouse... :o The painting of the first entry is awesome, but the idea and execution of the second entry is excellent as well, tough choice to make.

No one should 'lose' this, they're both excellent. I shall be looking out for each of your future entries!

Definetly the hardest vote to cast in this round, a real poser. The Scobby Gang with attitude is brilliant but the greyscale is superbly executed and love that touch of colour in there. Love both.

Very, very hard choice. Love the B+W with the hint of Red...

They are both ubelievably well done. It doesn't really help not to cast a vote, does it?

Those are simply awesome.
