I'm very pleased to see I finally can fight myself, kind of very Freudian ;D
beautiful team, Chris, I love your minimalistic but so much effective paint style!

fixed, thanks!

Ooops, sorry about that.
Yes, I was amused by the notion of The Prof's team battling a team with his own self portrait miniature in it :)
-
What a circus!!! :-*
-
Exquisite these - absolutely lovey job both. I'm working on some colourful stuff at the mo so taking notes on those clowns!
-
Wow! More creepy clowns and circus folk to fill out a few nightmares... lol
However, the naturalistic shading and colors of the Back of Beyond group is so nice! For those who have not had the pleasure, which of the adventurers is the professor...? :)

Yeah, I'm not so amused ;)
Now I've got the angst of voting for the obviously better team, against my own self interest. I'm the one that's gonna' need psychoanalysis. ;D

Both excellent entries gentlemen. Great effort on these. I'm liking the clown in the sewer especially :)
Thanks

Some lovely subtle brushwork on both sets of figures.

This was tough, but I went with the figures I could play with.
-
Splendid work on both groups! It's like the Superbowl of lead painters. :)
-
Two very nice entries from two great miniature painters. Again I really like the cinematic scene the Prof presented, but I must also say: Bugsda, that's the real essence of the LPL - paint five figures, make a photo, take it to the competition! Fantastic.
-
Wonderful match-up! Both very different (plain background versus richly detailed terrain background), but with fascinating similarities too (the richness and depth of the colours on both!). I agree with Admiral Benbow - while I love those entries with rich and detailed terrain as much as the next guy, sometimes five figures in a line on a plain background can just jump off the screen, and really underline what the format can do. Bugsda's entry does that here, which is what makes the match-up so fascinating, as it's set off against the wonderful terrain background from the Prof, which of course creates its own wonderful effect too. Beautiful work from both of you, and a fascinating match-up. Is it really only Round Two?
-
Awesome. This is like rumble in the jungle. So difficult to decide!
-
What a titanic battle :)
Great work gents.
-
This is a tough one. Almost down to a coin toss, but I finally made a decision. Great work gents!
-
Excellent work Alex, great colours and spot on highlights. The writing on the big clowns shirt is excellent, I thought I'd get slaughtered ;D

I am also surprised! I think the painting in the entries is of the same level. The one just has more figures, scenery and so on...
But maybe, despite the plain backdrop, you just hit the perfect spot Bugsda. :)

It's the battle of the Plaka paint specialists! ;)
(You two are the only ones I know who regularly use the stuff :))
I do agree Chris, your adventurers are doing amazingly well. I thought The Prof would squish you with another of his marvellous scenes.
Just goes to show that it's perfectly possible for a well painted team on a plain background to hold its own against a dioramic entry. Which, as we know, is always a popular topic of debate every single LPL ::)
The current state of this match pretty much demonstrates that if the painting is good enough, then the backdrop / setting isn't really the deciding factor.
Or not always, anyway.
Good luck to both of you in the remainder of the match. They are both excellent entries 8)
-
Another really tough one!
Outstanding painting and a wonderfully composed scene on the one hand and top notch painting and a focus on the essential on the other.
-
No easy pick here! >:( Both entries are superb! :-*
