    Wow, those look really, REALLY good. Nice and contrast-y.
    Malory: Jesus, God, Sterling. School girls?!
    Archer: Oh, those are just costumes.
    Malory: And I suppose that makes it better?
    Archer: Doesn't it?

    Thanks!

    They were fun to paint after painting a lot of Marine armor.

    Those came out great Jim. You scared me when you said, "think Joker". It looks great with the subdued green hair. The orange came out awesome and vibrant. Nice work. Can't wait to see them in person.

    I read that as PRISON...which, because of the orange, made total sense. I /like that paint job Jim.

    I whitened up the hair a little and added some rusty-gore to the blades, and a little to the prison-orange skirts.

    These guys look great, but i think the last bright orange layer on the rust went a little too bright. I would knock it back just enought to be darker than the pants. Right now it reads less as rust than it does matching sword and pants.

    If I tell you, "You're wrong," you'll need to click this.

    Does anybody else find it odd, by the way, that the information age has led to language becoming an oblique and imprecise tool where even the most straightforward phrasing is pored over with chicken entrails and bone tossing to divine the true meaning?
