I like it too, but the detail level changing between body and neck is jarring.

I liked it a lot more before you pointed that out. Now it's hard to look at.

Is it me, or does Drizzt have a sort of "Oh shi..." Expression on his face...

Hell, you could lop of the scimitars, pop on a rapier, and you've almost got Downer.

To tell the truth, the Umber Hulk is what got my attention from the article.

Well, we saw that one a couple of times. It's a white supremist dragon with its hood still on. No, wait...

Ah, finally, they manage to give us a picture of the figure the whole thing is named after. Even on the product image, they turned the box so you couldn't see him. I think they did it on purpose.

Now that you guys mention it, I do see an "Oh, crap" expression there.

And what's with the white eyes? Poor Salvatore went on and on about Drizzt's "Lavender Eyes" - those eyes got more text than many stories' protagonists' complete appearance. Or maybe they didn't have any purplish shade handy? They should have called Waynde England and borrowed some. Judging from his artwork, he buys the stuff by the hectolitre.

Nothing new here, he already was in Night Below.

Oh, I can't wait for the upcoming "Barbarian Dance Party" set that the third miniature is from!

As I said, it's from Night Below, which also has singing dragon lich elf divas, axe baton swinging brass band golems, alhoons doing some weird chicken dance or something, crusaders of the dance with the same pose (albeit with an axe), salamander conductors, and many more musical monsters of mayhem.

Shouldn't Drizzt be wielding his bow?

Unless he writes his stats on sheets of adamantine or something, he bow wouldn't be much use against someone, unless that someone is bound and he stands before him, brandishing his bow and shouting: "SEE THAT?!? LEVEL EIGHTEEN, BIRCH!!!" (assuming that someone is a treant or something).

 

[Kae'Yoss]

Well, how else are you going to get a dragon to sit still long enough for the artist to do some concept sketches?

I heard many dragons sit on their throne long enough to read old tomes whole. They sit there for days. Why? Because they can!

Agreed.

 

[Scott_Rouse]

I have seen this in person and the dragons neck is not so jarring. I will see if I can get another angle image to post.

First preview in a long time without a bad mini in it.

The 2nd Umber Hulk is overdue. The dragon is truly impressive. I'll trade the Drizzt on maxminis. Uber trade value on him.
