Dragon aesthetics

[Derren]

Nearly every on screen dragon has been too puny for me. Looks like Schmowg will correct that though!

Do you mean Smaug?
Too bad that Jackson apparently decided to make a wyvern out of him.

Its really sad that after all this years, Draco is (imo) still the best looking movie dragon out there. If only Jackson would finally finish his middle earth movies and do something with the Temeraire license he snagged years ago.

I found Draco to be small and weak looking. And his face too human. Not a fan.

That was kinda the design goal for him, though. I don't like dragons who are reduced to simple combat machines.
I guess you would like the Temeraire dragons (if they ever come to the big or small screen). At least the heavy dragons, Regal Coppers, Kaziliks and the Chevaliers seem to be what you seek.

Let's compare a few options:

Tyrannical

Intelligent

Elegant

Tribal

Spiky

Eerie

Elemental

Regal

 

[WhimsyTheFae]

Out of those pictures, the first is my favorite, by far. The second is a distant second and the rest don't place at all for me.

Well, "tyranncial" and maybe "regal" work for me. The rest is somewhere between "I don't see enough of it" and "dragon, no!"

"Intelligent" looks like a badly drawn human, by the way.

My favorite dragon of all time would be Vermithrax Pejorative, from "Dragonslayer".

 

[Derren]

Well, to post one interpretation of the Temeraire main cast I mentioned (my favorite is the black one):

Through this series I came to appreciate dragons as just some other "humans", meaning not super intelligent and wise beings or powerful conquerors and tyrants but instead normal, varied beings like humans.

You guys are really picky. Dragon racists, I say!

Every dragon is beautiful, even this ugly bastard:

That was my opinion, too. Until I saw The Desolation of Smaug.
