I really like the setup in the first entry, great jungle scenery, a lovely idyllic scene with the boat on the river but with hidden dangers on the shore. I didn't really mind not seeing the models clearly as I know the painting is solid but I can imagine that it makes it hard to vote.
I really like the dark and brooding atmosphere in the second entry, the background and the foreground fit seamlessly together and that dangerous looking sky really adds a sense of haste to this entry, great work!
