Kebabi's beach boy gets it from me.
It captures a plain orc pirate and acuratly conveys what the book is about clearly and well. All the entries are good but I think this is the best for a cover.
Aenarion - March 17, 2006 02:50 PM (GMT)
Gashbad Beergut's painting is the best, but the models (or the pictures of 'em listed here) wouldn't fit so well on a cover. My vote goes to the ship. Nothing more piraty that that.

I know I have not been much assistance on the Pirate Project, but I would like to add my (2c). I think Da Hogwasha would be great on the cover, unfortunately, that picture is a bit dark for the cover. Perhaps you could change the picture a bit....? :huh: I like Kebabi's Beach Bum too.
I am torn! :o
Unless you change Da Hogwasha pic a little, I am going to have to go with the Beach Bum.
Hmmm, I need to get my "Emporer's Dreadnaught WIP" up and running....It would give Da Hogwasha a run for it's money. ;) <Starts wandering towards P&H>
Oh, for a taste of what I am talking about, go here.Goomb

The giant all the way baby!
Salathus - March 17, 2006 04:46 PM (GMT)
I voted the beach boy, i had a good reason, but i forgot it :lol: .....
kebabi - March 17, 2006 05:12 PM (GMT)
I chose not to vote (for being in the contest and all).
Tough there's really great stuff here, alright!
Too bad Krusys Shaman and Da Hogwasha are a bit dark, as they're really cool. (and it doesn't do them the justice they deserve)
OrcfromthePlains - March 17, 2006 05:20 PM (GMT)
Just one sounds kind of boring.
why not a photoshop compilation of all of 'em together... and maybe put Kurgan's and my boat in the background?

Uh oh, OFTP has a boat to carry his orcs? What is it, a massive arc? :o Actually, that is a good idea, OFTP.

Krusty - March 17, 2006 09:50 PM (GMT)
Dude.
That's one hell of a boat, er, ship...
Krusty
Lord Gorfasil - March 18, 2006 12:17 PM (GMT)
The ship r0x tbh :P
I think photoshopping them all together will look amuterish and silly. Stick with the one.
Mork's Chariot - March 20, 2006 02:18 AM (GMT)
Sloory, I have to say that your ocean troll is the best. But it doesn't really show off the pirates theme.
Gashbad Beergut, I'd definately vote for you. But your pirates aren't true GW orcs.
Kebabi's Beach Boy definately shows off the pirate theme with an awesome paint job. You've got my vote.
WarbossKurgan's Adm'rul would be my runner up.
Sloory - March 20, 2006 06:44 AM (GMT)
G'day
Well i voted for kurgans swivel gunner because it's a good shot of a pirate
orc shooting over the side of the ship :) .
I actually expected 0 votes for my troll because it doesn't show the theme
of the book at all! (i didn't get to paint any pirates ;) )
I do like OFTP's idea about the compilation though, cause i like kebabi's
orc very much! i just don't like the real photo behind it.

They are "true GW Orcs"! Just old models mostly! :D
Hummerluver58 - March 20, 2006 11:44 AM (GMT)
I'd do with Krugan's boat. It makes more sense to me that we have the cover be a pi cture of a boat and its against an ocean backgroudn so I think that works out better
slayer69 - March 20, 2006 01:38 PM (GMT)
Well the Ocean Troll just looks cool!
It won me over...
Groshnak - March 20, 2006 04:09 PM (GMT)
The Boarding Boy FTW! :wub:
The Facebeater - March 20, 2006 07:14 PM (GMT)
I like the ship. It's more impressive and is a nicer overview for pirates.
Gamergirl - March 20, 2006 11:14 PM (GMT)
Even though you might think that having all of them together might look bad, why not try to photoshop them? :huh:
I really can't decide.. Sloory has the most impressve model I think, but its not a straight pirate, my favorite pirate is Kebabi's but its just one pirate... arg, I can't decide! :wacko:

How are your Photoshop skills Gamergirl? You want to have a try at a combined image cover?
We'd love to see what you come up with! :D B)
Zorg_orc_warboss - March 25, 2006 05:05 AM (GMT)
Well it looks like Kurgan has won it with his ship.
But don't despair Kebabi your beach boy will be the front cover for DWQ. (again....)

Congratz Kurgan.

saimon - March 25, 2006 09:05 AM (GMT)
I blame the pic.
Congrats to the winners. Nice entries overall.
Red Skullz - March 25, 2006 09:17 AM (GMT)
Very high quality overall so congrats to ya all :D
I gather we`ll see them all in the finished product anyways so it`S no worries.
BlackOrc - April 3, 2006 03:17 PM (GMT)
i voted for number 3, it was the best modelwise and had a nice paint scheme, all the other were good but that one seemed to stand out and i thought it filled what you are looking for. (2c)
WarbossKurgan - April 3, 2006 03:20 PM (GMT)
Thanks for the interest BlackOrc.
I'm going to close this poll now since the Book is about to be published (one week today!)
