The People Have Spoken!

The voting is now well over and done with, and we have a clear answer to the burning question, "Should I paint the segmented protrusion coming out of the Plaguebearer's mouth so as to make it resemble a giant, pasty-looking maggot, or paint it up as a dripping, putrefactingly rotten tongue?"

By an overwhelming (but thankfully not unanimous, you sick puppies, you) majority, the Plaguebearer guinea pig, er, color test figure will be painted up so as to appear to have a giant, pasty-looking maggot coming out of his mouth as opposed to merely a dripping, putrefactingly rotten tongue. Now comes the utter joy of color research on the Intarwebs, unless someone can recommend a color progression or similar color recipe they already know - and I won't ask how they came by it.

Huzzah!

Final Hours for Plaguebearer Voting!

Some of you may have noticed the little voting poll I've had running on the left side of the site for roughly a week now - obviously 11 of you did as of my typing this (the other 12th one is a proxy vote for my daughter, who was soundly in the "tongue" camp).

Essentially, I'm painting this Plaguebearer up as a test figure for a commission piece I'm painting at the same time with the same colors and I'm not too fussy about how or what he turns out looking like, since I don't have any immediate plans for Plaguebearers in my CSM Warband.

In the poll are two options as to how I round out painting this guy after all the color testing's said and done - both of them ideally disgusting, but neither being more nor less appealing to me than the other. That's where you folks and the voting come in, and there's just a little over 12 hours left to exert your mouse-clicky power in coercing me into painting this guy one particular way or another. I would've done a "write in" option instead of just two choices, but I was afraid I'd not get any consistency - sorry, maybe next time! (If there is a "next time" - researching rotting tongue and/or maggot images online for color references is probably going to be the end of me.)


As an aside, I've been tweaking the layout of both the blog and the full painting website - let me know if anyone notices and strangeness!

Plaguebearer Voting

I set up a vote on the left bar of the site for the sake of getting opinions about a figure with which, among other things, I'm testing out my airbrush. (I'll also guiltily admit I wanted to play around with trying out polling - mea culpa!)

Should I paint the segmented protrusion coming out of the Plaguebearer's mouth so as to make it resemble a giant, pasty-looking maggot, or paint it up as a dripping, putrefactingly rotten tongue?
