I took an informal poll last Saturday about how to color this piñata. Given the two choices to the left, I asked a few friends which option they preferred.Now understand that I greatly preferred the stark-white lower jaw. I don't know exactly why, but as long as I've been coloring dinosaurs I've had a preference for mixing dark browns and white. (I know that a giant sea of eye-catching white would not be good camouflage for a predator that probably tried to be at least a little bit sneaky on occasion . . . but it looks so crazy awesome to me.)
So I had just planned to do the jaw in white, but on showing this idea to my wife, I was told that my white was too much, and I should go for more of an all-over brown. I showed a couple other people, and they all agreed: too much white!
Wanting to justify myself, I sent the options out to a whole bunch of friends, to see what they thought. Tragically, my brilliant opinion was very in the minority.
But two people joined me! Kim "Berly" Basilin and Sean "My Skin Is Like Unto A Ghost" Swanson recognized my bright white lower jaw for the artistic genius that it was. Hooray for Kim and Sean! They are masters of taste and class, while everyone else can go suck it.
The piñata's going to have a white lower jaw.
Edit: I got one more vote for the white jaw, way too late to influence my decision, but not too late to help me feel even more justified in the action I was already going to take.
