Ow.

Be honest: painting or photography?

painting and photography.

You've gotten a good result on those wolf riders.

Those wolves in particular are a personal nightmare to me. I don't know the reason, but I failed everytime I tried to paint them.

XCIV, don't be disheartened. It has long been observed in the LPL, that a sometimes massive difference in the voting, does not necessarily equate to a corresponding gulf in quality between the entries. It just means something about your opponent's entry has appealed to a much wider audience. It might be the painting, the photogaphy, the subject matter, choice of figures, style of presentation, composition - all sorts of things (rightly or wrongly) play out in people's decisions about which of two photos of miniatures they will choose.

After this round ends I might post some of the other photos here.
