Ok, this one requires a bit of a mental stretch....
On the left is Mr D Gray and on the right we have Miss Mina Murray.
Of
course it's Dorian Gray (of Oscar Wilde fame) and Mina Harker (Dracula,
Van helsing etc,) both sometime members of the League of Extraordinary
Gentlemen that fans of great comic books or average films might
recognise.
Dorian
isn't in the original League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, but he was
added, and ably portrayed by Stuart Townsend, in the 2003 film, hence
why he's here. Towards the end of the film, both face each other in a
fight to the death (hey, we've all had rough relationships from time to
time,) but they were involved together at some point, so that qualifies
as l'amour to me...
Dorian
is from West Wind's 28mm Empire of the Dead range, but I can't for the
life of me remember who made Mina, but I do remember that they also had a
Victorian/Fictional range. Both were fun to paint up, although, the
Dorian figure was a much crisper sculpt to paint.
So there they are, hopefully some other members of the League will show up before the end of the challenge. Onto something naval in the meantime...
