From TashaH: Quite Literally A Plague Doctor (Vogsphere) (35 points)

When Tamsin dropped me off on Vogsphere, I started thinking what I could paint for Sarah’s Star Yacht to get me off the planet, as I had nothing to fit the criteria. My 3D printer has chosen not to work, so that was not an option. 

Then, I started thinking. That can be a dangerous thing!!

This Plague Doctor figure is from WizKids. Now, how on earth does it fit into this planet? Well…

 

Plague Doctors are most associated with the Black Death (even though this is a historical inaccuracy). 

...Plague doctors practiced bloodletting and other remedies such as putting frogs on the buboes "rebalancing the humors" as a normal routine...

- so there you have it, 'Black Humor'. 

 

I'm pretty sure I've met the challenge for this planet by being incredibly literal and, if not, we can discuss the bureaucracy surrounding Plague Doctors. (but ugh!)

This miniature really challenged me. I struggled a lot with it. I'm happy it is done and on the shelf.

Off to Corsucant...

It's a bit of a stretch, but I'll allow it (I have to really, as we did discuss it earlier today!). Black isn't the easiest colour to pull off, and I must say that you've done a good job of it for a novice figure painter. 35 points it is!
