Indeed, the pictures are very much better now, Master Milo. Thank you very much.

Good morning maese Milo!
Is it possible that you forgot to shake the pots? looks like you painted those reds with a lot of medium and a little pigment... Maybe the pots just got separated and with a good shake problem will be solved... if it is a long standing there without using, maybe pigments have fallen down to the bottom of the pot...

I feel you are right, I must shake harder before throwing these pots away.

Oh boy, when I see this, I hardly dare to show my own figure...

When was the ultimate day to send in the pictures ?

@Gerold: We are all here to learn, show and improve this is almost more about sharing our processes and learning from each other than a mere and plain "silly" contest.
@Turambar: WOOOO impresive!! I knew you were going to amaze me! I love that art noveau look! may I ask how you did it? Is it pastel or pencil? because it does not seem brushed on....

Thanks gentlemen for the kind words. Very entcouraging.
Master Maenas, it is brushed on. With a "two-haired-brush"- as I call that "thing".

(You need also some strong drinks - three in the minimum!- BEFORE the start.)

As you know I paint with oil colours. I try different kind of "liquids" to make the oilcolour that thin that I need for those thinny lines.
Everything didn´t satisfiy me. So I made the decision some time in the past to use acryllic paint for those "freehand" work,
as I can fill it up with water as it is liquid-like as water. You have got more to say coloured water.

The oil colour has got some kind of a greasy surface. So the almost waterlike acryllic paint has got problems to stick (covering power).
If you have a closer look you can see some disruptions in the lines.
But- as it is a 32 mm figure which is standing somewhere it is absolutely alright, in my oppinion . . .

Both of these free-hand masterpieces are fantastic works of art.

I'm almost there with Isildur

I'm keen on seeing the final pictures of all the figures here. So far there were just some pics provided showing work-in-progress. As for all those details of the coats I could see here: fantastic painting-skill quality. - Which supports one of my arguments for not taking part in the Painter's league here

Well, a very good event from Mrs Milo's family changed my schedule: a little girl is born this morning
So we are about to leave home to visit her, time is much more to celebrations than painting.

I will do my best to finsih Zalg & take pics by tuesday.
