I have voted. But i cannot disclose which one I voted for on the grounds that it may lead to a participant shortening my life span. Both are very nicely done. I would suggest some more blending of the highlights but thats really just stylistic. Some people really like sharp contrast. Well done you two. I enjoyed watching you two progress

I voted for two as well. Very nice looking dwarf. Also looks like DMS's style so I think that one was painted by Ms. DMS.

It's obvious which one is Mrs DMS (to me)!
I voted for #1, the highlights are more extreme, but i think there is more layering done there, particularly on the cloak. Well done to both.

Fair play to both of them for entering - maybe this could be an ongoing series?

I voted for number 2. The painting does look more like DMS's style, but that's not why I voted. :P The painting is smoother, and the eyes look better. Both of them are based very well though, and I would not consider either of them to be 'beginner' level paint jobs, they would both be acceptable on the table top for sure. Great job to both of you!

Oh lol. I had the impression it was you and a mate getting your partners to paint. Should probably go back and re-read the OP.

For myself I went with Dwarf number 2. I think the face is slightly better done but it took me several times looking these over to decide, I feel like they're very evenly skilled

Gone for Dwarf no. 2.
Both very good paint schemes, but I think, as others have said, the highlights are a bit extreme on no. 1, and the colours chosen complement each other better on no. 2. :)
