Amazing painting from both entries!

A real treat this one love both the Dr's and Elysiums entry as they are both such talented painters.

Dr Mathias edges it for me, that is such a well put together scene, it is magnificent.
Saving the last bullet... just in case.

See my wonderful BLOG of stuff!

What a treat this round is, and this is a lovely, lovely example of the many great entries. I am in fanboy heaven. Particular round of applause to Mathias for being so imaginative.

Great work on the ghosts elysium, I like that grey-green tone. Ethereals are one of the hardest subjects to paint in my opinion.
a mixture of quick parts, sarcastic humour, reserve, and caprice.

Mathias idea alone is beyond cool. I´m a bit envious about such a creative mind (since your "Disarmed in Algier" last year.

Nice one Matt. Very impressive thinking, great ambition and execution... Wonderful scenic setting and mood too.

Love the ettercaps there, Dr Mathias! Very creative entry and my favourite this round, by far!

Also really like the uruk and the Dunharrow chaps of your entry, Elysium!

Thank you Dr.M!
Around the middle of the week, as I was finishing up my riders of Rohan I suddenly thought "Oh! What I'd really have loved to do is the Attercop scene!'
of course, now I'm glad I didn't because yours is amazing!  :-*

What manufacturer are the spiders?

Elysium's entry is top notch too, beautiful work.
