I venture to suggest the draw has here thrown up one of the matches of this LPL so far. I love the paintwork on the Moors. Beautiful tones. And I love the composition, originality, painting and scenery in the harem scene. Both corking entries. Good luck chaps  :)

Very difficult to choose. The painting on the first entry is very good, the miniatures look great. The setting of the second one is stunning, those nicely painted miniatures, the great surroundings, hmm... now to choose...

Both absolutley brilliant - but I really like the risks taken with painting the 'disarmed' entry. The translucency on the woman's trousers is very well done.

You think? For me it's the only part of that entry that doesn't really work, though everything else about it is fantastic.

I love both entries. I found it very difficult to choose.

Nice choice of figures in both

Who's bothering with translucent clothing here? ;)
Besides the second entry having the clear "boobs!"-advantage, it is a well thought out diorama and beautifully executed. Especially admire the smoothly painted flesh and different hairtones on the female figs.
The Moors' black clothing is excellent as well, of course. But the scene looks a bit generic compared with the harem scene, sorry.

Both very well painted but "Disarmed" has that je ne sais quoi   8)
