From Barks: The last planets (Xanth)(Lune) (55 points)

These are my entries for consideration to access the centre of the AHPC XII solar system.

First, Xanth - a unique talent. I've chosen Beorn from The Hobbit, with his ability to change into a bear. These are from the Journeys in Middle Earth boardgame. I'm quite underwhelmed by the bear - I would have preferred something big and troll-sized and more dynamically posed. Like most things, it has improved after a bit of paint.

Second, Lune - witchcraft and sorcery. This elf is High Mage Quellen from Descent 2nd edition. He's more 25mm than 28. I've included the artwork- I think I got reasonably close for a quick Contrast job. I didn't just choose him for his sorcerous ways- he fills an unusual slot in my ABC!

3x 28mm figures: 15 points

2x Locations (Xanth, Lune): 40 points

Slowpainter's ABC: Q is for Quellen

Set the controls for the heart of the sun!

Lovely brushwork Barks. Quellan's a excellent pick for your 'Alphabarks Challenge', and I think you did a masterful job in capturing his likeness from the game's art. You've also done great service for Beorn in both his incarnations, but I have to agree with you on the sculpts - not very imaginative or inspired, especially given the dynamic subject matter. Still, as you say, they look orders of magnitude better when they are as well painted as these. Great work!
