A very hard choice, but the sheer difficulty of painting that jet black skin so smoothly swayed it for me.

Both excellent. I'm also very impressed with the skin tones on the ladies.

Man, if it's going to be like this every week I'm gonna have a meltdown choosing!!!
Two superb entries, the smooth vibrant colours of the Cap vs. them sweet black 'n' purple contrasts...

Is this the finals already 'cause Clashing of Titans as early as round 2 is unreal.  :o

World class paintjobs gentlemen!!!

I have to echo all the other comments - this is by far the most difficult choice for me this round. 

Wow.

Beautiful work, kudos to both painters.

Yeah that's really difficult.
Painting wise they're both fantastic.
I'm going to have to have to base my choice on the minis themselves.
Top work gents. :-*

I don't want to vote on this pairing :(

It seems a shame to pass judgement on either of these fantastic entries. Clearly great work from both painters!

Greetings


oh my. This one would be THE one where I need TWO votes.
The Anglo-Dutch are a colourfull group and I can't stop coming back and look at those reds and blues. And that background is not shabby either.

But those girls ... hmmm .. that limited palette is just cracking. I love it.

Thank you so much
