This isn't really a painting and modeling question, But its all about painting and modeling. Do you guys vote on your own image in the gallery? OR leave it up to other people to vote on it? It would seem kinda screwed up if i just voted 10/10 on all my things when really it could be any number of other things. Is it BM to do so? Discouraged? Or just fine?

I'd say it kind of defeats the point of wanting people to vote on your image. When I post up an image I want people here to honestly tell me how good or bad it is so I can figure out what painting level I currently sit at, if I then vote on my image I am skewing the scores one way or another. However if you are just posting without needing the feedback then the only real effect is a score that only matters to you.

That said I have in the past succumbed to the need to see what other people think of my mini's so desperately that when sat on 4 votes I've provided the 5th, but in doing so I always vote an average of 6/6 on the model under the knowledge that anything else is a bias.

Ultimately it depends what you want from people reviewing your image.

Theres no real point on voting on your own image. In poor taste IMO to do so.
