Rambures: "That island of England breeds very valiant creatures: their mastiffs are of unmatchable courage"
Orléans: "Foolish curs, that run winking into the mouth of a Russian bear and have their heads crushed like rotten apples."
(Henry V)

Ah, but what if the mastiffs were bigger than the bear?

Does anyone noticed the lice in the flowers?  o_o
Okay, okay, okay, just trying ...

Brilliant entry, Chambers! That mastiff in the middle looks at me ... gee. And that worn-out atmosphere of these humans  is just awesome.

Love it

The lotus flowers are a nice touch, but they normally grow in ponds...

thanks, I actually didn't intent any real flowers. When I saw the petals in the store in four colours, I just grabbed and bought them for no special reasons. When I painted the samurai, I just thought it might fit.

Thanks a lot for the comment. T'was tricky for me to change my usual colour-palette. Need to keep me reminded all the time, not to switch back to my dwarf-schemes.  ;D

Btw
It's noticed that You made an awesome impressive atmosphere though You didn't use any background.

Cool to have crossed blades ... well ... pix with You!  :-*

best wishes

I am trying an experiment this year. I am not using any scenery to see how far it gets me. The last competition I did was 50/50 with scenery and did well. I will let you know the results after round 10.  :D

thanks for telling cause maybe I will not recognize that from the other side of the hill. ^^

Say, is there a special reason for having the animals on round bases but men and women on square ones? Did not notice that before.

I normally put fantasy miniatures on squares and non fantasy on rounds. I plan on using the dogs in some pulp games, besides the large dogs on a square base would be massive.
