Green Dragon

[Dragonhelm]

IT HAS A FREAKING HORN POINTING STRAIGHT OUT OF IT'S NOSE!

Maybe the pic on the DDM book isn't the best, but really, I don't see that as being too different from this guy:

As did I, and I wish they would've left it alone. And even though the new version isn't all bad, the mini certainly is.

I don't see this as a big deal. You still have the old art to reference, so use that for your games.

Personally, I never liked the look of the 3rd edition displacer beast. Poor guy was starved to death. So whenever I use one, I reference back to the 1e or 2e versions. I'm also not a fan of the 3rd edition faerie dragon, so I stick with the 2e version or with Jennifer Meyer's Fey Dragon art.

The mini is humorously bad though. I can't help but wonder what he's thinking with that silly grin. It looks like the smile of a really dumb Steve Martin character who just pooped his own pants and likes the smell.

Where can I find a picture of this miniature?

EDIT: Nevermind.

 

[TerraDave]

you know what they say about dragons with big nose horns.

 

[Wolfspider]

Yup. That's a goofy looking dragon.

 

[Charwoman Gene]

I'm calm now.

The nose horn on all natural and non-stupid fantasy critters points up a little, it doesn't point into the mouth.

Well, if it's any consolation, Worlds and Monsters makes it pretty explicit that of the chromatics, the only one that got a makeover was the Green dragon. It's partly due to the change in its breath weapon to a poisonous gas (they commented that everything about the dragon should scream "poison -- get away!"), and also because of the chromatics, the Green had the most "generic dragon" look to it.

...And possibly also because of the chromatics, the Green was the only one that didn't have a ginormous mini yet. Repackaging the existing big honking dragon minis with a new card and rereleasing them for 4e is a lot easier than redesigning new ones.

He liked it, I didn't.

I don't know about fantasy art, but at least your taste in films is spot on.

I don't know about fantasy art, but at least your taste in films is spot on.

I found Transformers to be exactly what is was when it was a cartoon. A tongue-in-cheek war between giant transforming robots layered on top of a high school kid's awkward teenage years. Never really being anything truly deep and meaningful, it was right up Michael Bay's alley.

 

[Klaus]

Yup. That's a goofy looking dragon.

Wow, that's... astoundingly bad.

 

[HeavenShallBurn]

That's just painfully bad, in a let's not use that sculptor again way.
