Green Dragon

[Transit]

Hmmm.... That nose horn looks just about the right size to be snipped off with a nail-clipper.

It will still be a goofy looking dragon, but at least it will be a goofy looking dragon without a nose horn.

I'd suggest that many of the minis look bad on line and on paper, but better in person. Of course, own a ton of these things, so I'll admit I'm a fan in general.

Looks somewhat odd. But I'll wait for the full MM illustrations before I judge the new design.

Wow, hahaha. That arched eyebrow is all about the melodramatic oily villain.

If you use modeling putty on about the last third of his mouth and snip off his nose horn it would go along way towards making it better. If you still wanted the horn and were careful when you cut it off you could move it up his skull a little more, and that might not look half bad.

But if your going to do all that work anyway, you may as well buy a pewter mini of a dragon and do it all yourself.

I really like the art for the green dragon, actually. Is the artist Steve Prescott?

We won't really know if the sculpt looks bad until we've seen it in all 3 dimensions. There have been plenty of minis in the past where we've seen the 2D photo, said "bleargh!" and then it turned out to look fine in person.

It looks silly, but that's because of the "smile," not because of the horn. The concept art it was based on looks solid enough.

I thought it looked good in the picture above, until I saw the close-up of the miniature's face in this thread.

Even in the concept art, the head looks too geometric.

The art of all the dragons in Worlds & Monsters is pretty good (the whole book has great art.) I read the part about the green dragon, and changing its appearance makes sense, as well as the mechanics changes they discussed.
