So hard to decide which is the coolest site I found this month...

And the month's not even half over!

They're both pretty cool, but I do love the 'Tea Room, if only because it's a bit more attainable (modelling wise, anyway).

Both are disgustingly brilliant for quite different reasons.

I can't decide....I can't decide BRAIN ANURYSM!

Seriously, Matashiki's work is more 'painterly', while Greydeath's is more 'engineer-y'. Both are excellent at what they do, but as you put it, very different.

Greydeath's site is better, for 2 reasons.

1) I love the insane (and well excecuted) sci-fi stuff (and I'm a sci-fi junkie)
2) He chose the name of one of the greatest units in the classic Battletech mythos (the Greydeath Legion, founded by Greyson Death [prounounced Deeth, ryhmes with teeth] Carlyle)

tarot for the win.
The fool is a stroke of genius.

I dont think either of them are cooler, but as a matter of taste, just what you prefer. i love grey deaths tau. (too bad he doenst post here anylonger...but he still posts on the B&C) and Matashiki has a sense of very creative innovation.

I think they are both on the same level in different ways.

Like Hellfury said,they're both equal in different fields,although i have a prefference for 'Death...
Although (like i said on another topic) its pointless,its so much fun to do.I would know cause i have that urge to convert also,only that i dont have to money to afford to do it large scale.
Matakashi has some very 'cute' works if i can put it like that.It be very simple and home-like making it so close to what we are used to instead of the techno stuff.

Well obviously this was meant to call attention to them and not as a serious competition.  When you have two talented artists like this everyone wins!

 

I also just rediscovered this site:

Home of some of the nicest industrial terrain and conversions I've seen.
