Painted Variants / Galleries

This cosmetic has a lot of variance in how it displays paintable areas. Each class has the bandages placed on different areas of their faces, warranting at least something similar to what we did to document the Horrible Horns. However, there are five different styles on this item. Every style has paintable bandages, and each of them feature separate bandage placements and injuries on each class.

If we were to document them all, that would mean five style galleries, complete with nine classes each, or 1,710 images. So, I've come up with two proposals that we could utilize to move forward on this matter:

  • We do a full paint gallery for each style, consisting of all nine classes, each. This one is probably incredibly excessive, but an option nonetheless.
  • We do painted variants for only one class, and have an extensive class gallery instead, to showcase the different bandage placements that way. This way, we could display the painted areas, while still showing all the bandage placements. The images in the class galleries would have to make an effort to show as much of the bandaged faces as they can -- moreso than if we had done the painted variants option, but at far, far less of a risk for a potential loading crisis.

I personally am leaning towards the second option, for obvious page load reasons. While I was (and am still) in favour of documenting as much of an item as possible, as was the hill I stood on defending the practice for the Horrible Horns, there comes a point where I believe it to be simply unfeasible. Please discuss your thoughts, after viewing both options. -— User ThatHatGuy Signature Icon.png User ThatHatGuy Signature Talk.png User ThatHatGuy Signature Contribs.png 09:41, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
