My very first vote in this round and I click this one... :o

It's just impossible to choose! ;D

I know! Two very different styles of painting, yet each one extremely well painted! Maybe a beer will help me make up my mind...

Their faces are very good indeed, showing a lot of what can be going on in their heads at the moment and adding a lot to the story the picture is telling :)

Post by: Skratch on March 13, 2011, 01:03:57 PM: Difficult, but I'm gonna go for Abdul
Title: Re: ROUND 1 Abdul's Alterations vs On the Streets of Bruegelburg
Post by: Andy0476 on March 13, 2011, 01:10:50 PM: Some very high level painting in both entries! Abdul's getting the vote because of the funny story eminating from the picture. Judging only on paintig this deserved a vote each!

Post by: Rufus T. Firefly on March 13, 2011, 01:50:30 PM: My god, what a choice.

I think the lepers *just* squeeze in my vote though, mainly on the account of being lepers :P
Title: Re: ROUND 1 Abdul's Alterations vs On the Streets of Bruegelburg
Post by: D@rth J@ymZ on March 13, 2011, 01:55:03 PM: I really like both of these entries. Awesome work gents! :-*
Title: Re: ROUND 1 Abdul's Alterations vs On the Streets of Bruegelburg
Post by: Pil on March 13, 2011, 05:00:25 PM: Indeed a very hard match-up between two LPL heavyweights. In the end I voted the same as the majority because I really like the whole setup with the village in the background.

Post by: syrinx0 on March 13, 2011, 05:22:05 PM: Great choice of figures in both entries. They each really sell their theme.
Title: Re: ROUND 1 Abdul's Alterations vs On the Streets of Bruegelburg
Post by: valleyboy on March 13, 2011, 06:50:56 PM: Please can I give a vote to each, these are both fantastic

Post by: Fire Broadside! on March 13, 2011, 08:07:00 PM: Very very tough... but I've always had a soft spot for lepers. ;D
If I may ask, where are the miniatures from? I seem to recognize them but can't recall from where...

I think the bruegelburg miniatures are from LAM, does somebody knows by who the arabian merchants are manufactured?

Post by: Tomsche on March 13, 2011, 08:18:36 PM: Erm, there ain`t a knock out in the Lead Painter`s, you get an overal score table after 10 rounds, top points take the prizes

EDIT: Also, am I going insane or was there a post by Bezzo before mine about champions league knock outs and such?

The Islamic civilians are produced by Eureka, they have three different sets. The figures practically paint themselves. They're very good sculpts- I've had them sitting around for years and I'm sure I never would have painted them but for the LPL.

This was an unhappy matchup, I really like the lepers !

easily the hardest choice so far!

Hardly the easiest either. ;)

Post by: Braxandur on March 14, 2011, 09:15:33 AM: Both excellent entries, but I just had to go for the first one. If only because it made me laugh lol
Title: Re: ROUND 1 Abdul's Alterations vs On the Streets of Bruegelburg
Post by: tsar1701 on March 14, 2011, 09:51:03 AM: Both are very very well painted, but my vote goes to the Prof.

I do really love his style :)
Title: Re: ROUND 1 Abdul's Alterations vs On the Streets of Bruegelburg
Post by: zizi666 on March 14, 2011, 04:04:13 PM: a rather new member here, so his is the first LPL I'll be casting votes.
did a few already, and then came across these :?
I really like the Prof's style, but in the end I went with the Dr.
I guess the lines on those burkas and the eyes did it for me.
and naturaly, the setting is just phenomenal :D
Title: Re: ROUND 1 Abdul's Alterations vs On the Streets of Bruegelburg
Post by: Maxx Von Morton on March 14, 2011, 04:54:16 PM: Really nice paintjob for both!
Hard choice indeed... but facial expressions on the arabians are incredible!

Looking forward to see the next round entries :)

Post by: Le matou rouge on March 14, 2011, 06:34:34 PM: "censored" (Prof)

Quote from: Captain Blood
Oh yes, while I remember, a quick word on etiquette for both participants and observers.
We all want LPL entries and matches to stimulate comment and discussion, so it’s perfectly fine to comment on live matches. That's half the fun. But please try to keep comments constructive and don’t blatantly ‘boost’ (or attempt to torpedo) one or other entry.
So by all means comment ‘I really like what you’ve done there’. But please don’t go down the road of: ‘Well entry A is so manifestly superior to entry B, that I cannot understand why so many people are voting for entry B’.
That kind of thing will be edited by the Moderators.

Mathias painting is so smooth... :o

meow,
Matt

Dear Alex, the edit doesn't matter at all, but once again, it seems that I'm betray by my poor English.
I'm so sad you don't taste my try at "irony" : I just wanted to say that despite all your avantages, the smoothness of Mathias painting beats them all, and he got my vote...

What a poor come back

I'm so Jealous that you had a chance to put a brush to some of these wonderful figures... o_o Now I want them even more!

This was by far the toughest match-up...both spectacular jobs...kudos to both.

Cheers,
