Our theme this week comes directly from one of our judges and shifts our gears once again. "Theme is for suckers!" -Lets see some solid Iron Painter technique and style with:
Only Three Colors

Make them count!

I just had this feeling I'd be matched to Wren - ack! - Wren, I'm definitely not DNF'ing, but should I do two entries so I can mess with you?

And I've got several ideas already. This really opens up the miniature choices!!! although there are some that would be absolutely hil-air-eee-ussss!

Sounds like we're all going to be doing some really monochrome pieces, eh?

And welcome Commander Y!!!

3 colors of what? Triad of midtone, shade and highlight? Or three primary colors with each own set of midtone, shade and highlight?
Whyspyr, your Cthulhu will work best for this theme. :-)

The gloves are coming off, you best bring your A-game PaintMinion!

[fuzzyguy]

Why's it gotta be about color?!?!

Haterz gonna hate.

[Death Angel]

bahahahaha Sigh... being matched against my own fiance is kind of cruel and unusual punishment since only one of us can make it through!

Sorry honey...

[Bexley]

Hm. My all-time highest score was with an entry that only featured two colors. I likes them odds.

Ooooh... y'all need a doghouse in one of your pieces, eh?

Anyone else notice that we don't have a match-up header saying "Random"

Figured someone would be pointing this out - I suppose it's best that that person is you!

[Whyspyr]

LOL yeah-he would have. But don't worry, you can't keep an Elder God down.

[Bexley]

Hm. I'm not sure if being "King of Story" helps or hinders. There's really no theme-related story to tell, but then, that leaves me free to come up with my own to tell, which might be even better.

Number two- to go sepia (or sepia-esque, replacing the brown with another color) or try a cyan/magenta/yellow combo and paint a full-color piece? Hm. This is either the awesomest theme ever, or I am about to start a blood-feud with Peterdita which will have our children's children's children duelling in back alleys...

IMPORTANT QUESTION:

Does primer count as a color? As in, using varying degrees of transparency over primer? In which case, cyan/magenta/yellow wouldn't work, as it would require white primer to show through to achieve light/dark contrast.

I think my kids are coming after Peterdita's...

I suppose we should all just be grateful that the three colors themselves weren't randomly assigned. Though, that might make for an interesting contest somewhere down the line...

"Aw, crap. Nightshade Purple, Bilious Green, and Solar Macharius Orange? Are you f'ing KIDDING me!?"
