You can look at a really cool miniature and be inspired by the inventive and imaginative way it was painted. eg. someone painted the chaos sorcerer to look like Skeletor.

THEN you have the exact opposite. Someone painted something in such bizarre colors you can only wonder if it was even painted by a human. eg. someone painted their skeletons bright green with blue scythes.
Thats un-inspirational. You don't feel the urge to do something similar.

Being poorly painted has nothing to do with the color-scheme, though the two often go hand in hand.

In fact, me also i did think that it was UN inspiration like blue helmet and cover clothes that do not fit together.
Thanks for putting me right! :D |_P

If you have a closer look on some of the photos, you'll notice that some of the minis in Skptigirls' auction are of pewter.
So these are recasts. Some may even prefer metal minis (I do), but they are certainly not original.
Have a look ;)

What? where do you see that? Some of the minis have white(?) paint on the underside of the bases that sort of looks like green paint has chipped of. Is that what you are looking at?
No way anyone is swapping pewter recasts with ordinary base set minis.

BB, It hink this time you're wrong. There is not one pewter mini. They are all originals smeared all over.
