NGL, that silver dragon full-page image is probably the first bit of nu-dragon art I've seen that I truly, unreservedly like. She isn't this hecking chonker, she looks proportionate and refined.
I am not overly fond of the silver in the preview. To me its neck is a real chonker (as you say ;)), distractingly so. The neck makes its body seem small and stubby to my eye. I much prefer the silver concept art:

Still don't care for the incredibly bloody stupid "if you stretch them out they look like swords!!!" thing, but at least there's some good art coming from all this.

And the red dragon defeating the gold is pretty sad, but not "sad because bad art" so that's also an improvement. That said, I always thought in a head-to-head match, reds were weaker than golds?
Only the Gold had the stretched sword thing.
