WAIT!
HOW DARE YOU! YOU CHEATING SCUM!
Oh my, what a predicament we find ourselves in, although I'm sure charm, and maybe a little bit of leg, will save the day...
For my entry to the Chamber of Darkness, I take you back to the classic black and white films, full of wicked Germans and the most demure femme fatale.
I had a real journey of pleasure creating and painting this vignette, having thought about it since the end of Challenge X, but never making time to create it.
All of the greys are unique to their texture, even down to the skin of the two figures. I really wanted the lady of the scene to have that pure skin tone, so famous from the best age of cinema (open to debate I'm sure). The cards are curtesy of my wife and her hobby of miniature sculpting for dolls houses, made from a polymer clay.
I don't think I'm going to enjoy painting anything as much as this ever again, but we will see. The frame used during photo editing felt too appropriate to miss.
Points are 10 for two 28mm miniatures and 20 for a challenge entry = 30 points.
Fantabulous!
