Round 5 - Ambush in Beleriand vs. Hunting

[syrinx0]

Absolutely incredible painting and composition in both.  Truly inspiring work.

[Mitch K]

Truly astonishing work from both participants. Regardless of the outcome, nobody comes away a loser in a contest of such quality.

I don't know about "Lead Painters' League", this is PREMIER LEAGUE!

Nothing else to add to the discussion but praise! Lovely composition, Frank! Blackwolf, stunning camerawork. Both of you have done a terrific job with the brushes! 

[magokiron]

Both scenes are JUST EXCELLENT!     

And the background really adds a lot of character and tells a story.

Very well done for both of you.

Please, please, please, next LPL we need a "Draw" option.

Frank, are those trees GW? What did you use for folliage?

Thank you.

These look like stills from the film!

Frank, are those trees GW? What did you use for folliage?

Thank you.

Yes, those are GW trees; I have been using foliage from a German manufacturer called MININATUR: http://www.mininatur.de/silhouette_home.php?lang=en

...and thank you for the kind words!

[Mr.Dodo]

Oooh, this is a harsh one, so early on too. A big hand shake to whoever comes second here.

[Blackwolf]

And thanks for the kind words from me too  And a special thanks to Frank ,I don't think it's too early to say a brilliant win! At this rate maybe next year I'll get a draw

[Finarfin]

This is madness...

[Parriah]

IMPOSSIBLE!!

To choose, BEST matchup yet!
Gods! How to choose?
Well ...

Hi Frank! You've done it again!
Blackwolf, great job too!

[Parriah]

This is madness...

I concur completely!

[Heldrak]

Slightly OT, kudos to Blackwolf for doing an entry from The Silmarillion  

[Dr Mathias]

Slightly OT, kudos to Blackwolf for doing an entry from The Silmarillion  

Agreed on that. I'd like to do a breakdown of the sources that inspired the submissions just to see the percentages

[Battousai_the_Kibble_Slay]

Now I see why my dad likes that Frank guy so much!

[Galland]

How am I supposed to be able to vote? :S  Without doubt, the most breathtaking miniatures this round, and naturally pitted against each other Arghhh!!
