Two very nice entries and I';m afraid the first entry does not get the recognition it deserves as they are very nicely painted models in a good setting. I, however, always have a hard time resisting chambers' crisp painting style, and the skeleton really completed that entry for me 8)

Bothe entries look great. The colors on the School daze are very crsip. The nylons look real on the teacher. How did you achieve that look?

The nylons were achieved by painting the legs with black and flesh added together, blending in more flesh until you get the desired effect.

The color and textures you achieve in blending are really life like and impressive. Your explanation of the nylons sounds easy but I think it's going to take quite a bit of practice to get that result for me.  :)

Two excellent entries, but I love how the models in the second entry "pop" - lots of life in those colours.
