Yeah, I agree, they're quite monotonous. Although there are some subtle glazes on them, they get washed out in the photo. I added some small dots to their backs and the sides of their heads but they aren't visible in the photos. In addition, the setting wasn't the best choice because the colors get washed out. A background with a contrasting color would have been better.
But it's no shame losing from Bugsda's entry. Still one of my favorites of last round. Love the bold colors!!
