Two lovely entries, a tough choice.....




DJ: It seems we have quite a lot of similar things in the painting queues at the moment, sir!

The Arashikage are the old Citadel ninjas and Storm Shadow is a converted Chronoscope ninja.

Very nice work there Dr. Mathias! A fitting match-up indeed.

Cool entry D@rth, I love the cloud effect and painting. Takes me back... I started collecting comics right around G.I.Joe #21, mid 80s I think... what a great issue... Snake Eyes vs. Cobra Ninjas, no dialogue. Classic!

I have to ask: Where did you get the Bunny Buddha?

The body is a resin cast I made, the original is a little bronze Buddha I picked up somehere. My round 5 entry uses the same buddha, which I added some details to to make into a Jizo.

For the bunny buddha I sculpted a new rabbit head from ProCreate epoxy, which is kind of like Greenstuff, but better IMO. I thought about casting him up too, but ran out of time.

The stone niche being enveloped by the tree is made from Sculpey, combined with my usual tree method. I took WIPs and plan to add a gnarly tree tutorial to my Arboreal Extravaganza thread shortly.

Thanks for the comments all, appreciated.

a mixture of quick parts, sarcastic humour, reserve, and caprice.
