Interesting. Is that blood or paint, I wonder? If it's blood, is Klingon blood back to being a pinkish purple or is it red and just mixing with the blue-gray skin tone? Or a tattoo or war paint maybe? I like this one's armor much more than the other spiky stuff they got going on. Very nice, actually!

I think it was said to be war paint. Maybe non klingon blood IDk really. It has been said all 24 houses will have their own armor and look.

Well that's dumb. They shouldn't all be bald.

They need to fire this Fuller fellow and hire someone who appreciates Klingin hair.
I kind of doubt Fuller had anything to do with this particular choice.

It's much more likely CBS is just throwing him under the buss to deflect the blame for the horribleness away from the people currently making the show.
 
You can choose to believe it or not, But the designer and the current show runner said they kept his basic version. You really think the work, the level of work we see here only started after he left?
Given the nearly year long delay that occurred because Fuller was spending all his time working on American Gods instead of Discovery.

Yes, yes I do.
