Title: Re: Round 3 - Snow White and the Seven Dwarves vs. Into the Wild
Post by: leonmallett on March 18, 2012, 12:23:31 PM: Tough call; into the Wild just edges it for me for overall consistency, where with Snow White the Dwarves seem much stronger than SW herself in terms of flesh tones etc.

Still and all, 2 great entries.

Title: Re: Round 3 - Snow White and the Seven Dwarves vs. Into the Wild
Post by: Doomhippie on March 18, 2012, 02:11:56 PM: Frank has a wonderful eye for composition. And great, crisp colors. Absolutely gogeous.
However, I like the subtle coloring and blending a little better (and we are talking a very, very little).
But hats off to you, gentlemen. This is really the clash of the titans, so to speak.

Post by: The Dozing Dragon on March 18, 2012, 02:48:44 PM: Very difficult this one but Snow White just pipped the post for me. Possibly the neatest Snow White take I have seen :)
Title: Re: Round 3 - Snow White and the Seven Dwarves vs. Into the Wild
Post by: Leapsnbounds on March 18, 2012, 02:50:44 PM: These were both excellent entries. I usually do not comment but vote, but this needed a comment.

Post by: has.been on March 18, 2012, 03:08:44 PM: I agree with all the above who said this IS a tough decision. Both are excelent.
Title: Re: Round 3 - Snow White and the Seven Dwarves vs. Into the Wild
Post by: Dr Mathias on March 18, 2012, 03:54:44 PM: Amazingly crisp and smooth painting Chambers, it takes some real courage showing detailed figures up close like you do- everything is out there to see and you have the skill to pull it off :) That grumpy white haired dwarf behind SW is fantastic!

Great painting and setting Frank, nice work as we would expect :) I have to ask though- are the designs on the center of the flags decals? That text is pretty tight. If they are decals you did a splendid job integrating them into the paintwork.

Post by: Drachenklinge on March 18, 2012, 03:59:16 PM: though Franks entry is very amazing (as usual ^^) ... for me the team's name with the combination of these minis made the call!

Snow-White ... looking like this, I guess, the discussion with her stepmother about the apple will be much different than usual: "Dodge this, StepMa!" lol

best wishes

Post by: Modhail on March 18, 2012, 05:31:24 PM: Tough, tough call to make!!!
Both are beautifully painted...

P.S.: Where did the mini's for Snow White & co come from?
Title: Re: Round 3 - Snow White and the Seven Dwarves vs. Into the Wild
Post by: Marine0846 on March 18, 2012, 05:44:45 PM: Hard to pick one.
Both outstanding.

Title: Re: Round 3 - Snow White and the Seven Dwarves vs. Into the Wild
Post by: Mad Padre on March 18, 2012, 06:15:35 PM: Such a hard choice. Very hard pressed to decide. The twist on the idea of SW and the Dwarves and its execution are both brilliant, as are those redcoats. So torn ...
Title: Re: Round 3 - Snow White and the Seven Dwarves vs. Into the Wild

What a beautiful bunch of dwarfs and a really enterprising topic. Good luck with your contribution Chambers!!!
Title: Re: Round 3 - Snow White and the Seven Dwarves vs. Into the Wild
Post by: Pil on March 18, 2012, 06:45:10 PM: A very tough decision indeed, both entries are fantastic!

I do however have one niggle and I hope it's ok to post about it. Digital alteration of pictures is quite expressly forbidden in this League and the grass in front of the soldiers in the second entry seems to have benefited from little magical touch up here and there. Other than that the entry is fantastic as always: great painting, excellent scenery and a very colourful entry on the whole!

I don't see any obvious evidence of that- Frank has done base Photoshopping in quite a few of his other pics, to integrate the figures into the scene, but the bases on this picture look like they're simply hidden behind a short rise in the foreground. I may be wrong of course :)

Quite what I'm seeing too. The bases are simply hidden.

Post by: Bugsda on March 18, 2012, 07:12:59 PM: This is exciting 8) Excellent work, I couldn't split them. I voted for Chambers because I usually always vote for Frank, perverse but at the time it seemed fair :D

If you lose by one vote Frank, it's my fault, sorry ;)

Post by: lfoster on March 18, 2012, 11:21:42 PM: I agree. This is one of the toughest ever since I've been on. Great painting and well photographed. Just wonderful minis!

I do believe this is the first time ever I had to vote against Frank, tho :'( :-[

But I'm really feelin' that Snow chick there!

Title: Re: Round 3 - Snow White and the Seven Dwarves vs. Into the Wild
Post by: Captain Blood on March 19, 2012, 05:42:04 PM: Very possibly the best match I can recall from recent LPLs...

Impossible to slide a fag paper between the two, they both have so much going for them, but in slightly different ways...

Superbly done on both sides.

The regiment looks perfect. The dwarves have such a great atmosphere and tone that makes me think of turn of the century illustrations.
