Subject: [GZG] [OT] Concept art at Magnificent Egos

Sorry for the plaintive whine, but several years ago, a sculptor leapt from a
dealer's booth at a big con, snapped my picture for use as a concept for fig.
About a year later, the concept art showed in my inbox.

However, aside from a couple inquiries answered by the quite normal sad story
of the trial and tribulations of a small gaming business (check out Avalanche
Press' tale of Imperium 3M for that kind of thing...), nothing seemed to be
coming of it until I stumbled on the part of the site labeled 'Concept Art',
and there, in an abbreviated version, was moi.

I do ask you to look over the images, vote on those that so move you, in the
hope mine will find favor, become a fig, and I can buy enough to cover all the
promises I've made for almost half a decade. I do ask that you only vote once
per image; no ballot stuffing, please. I won't say which is of me, but with
all the svelte females in the list of fifteen, you can narrow the list
appreciably.

If you're interested in fantasy/VSF lead, please go to
http://www.magnificentegosminis.com/

Then, on the left side, click Gallery,

Then, again on the left, click Concept Art.

You do NOT have to sign in; voting can be anonymous. You are not committing to
a purchase.

I look forward to the day my darlings can look at a fig of grandfather hefting
high explosives...

What, not even a hint? Okay, how 'bout which 14 aren't yours, then?

Turns out I was bad, and had left you a hint; you just didn't include enough
of my text to show it. 'I look forward to the day my darlings can look at a

By the way, I know the words 'leapt from a dealer's booth' sounds like poetic
license, but it was literal truth. He had to vault some piled boxes to get out
directly to the walkway. I was a bit startled, and lucky I didn't think I had
to defend myself.

I hate looking stupid AND getting injured at the same time...

What I really want to know: Why in the heck does #7/15, otherwise a
pretty standard monk-ish figure, have on HOCKEY SKATES?

I voted for a few, but the most practical of the lot seemed the last.
I'm not usually a fan of unlikely weapons/armour and most of them do
have this in spades.

I saw that hint, but I guess I didn't see any grandfathers tossing HE about.
OR, at least, MY eye didn't register it in the selection. ;-)

<grin>
I've done it.  ;-)
