Is it me, or does that dragon look like something out of the CG cutscenes of a late-90’s computer RPG? Blah. I don’t mind the girl or the landscape so much…
not the most handsome dragon i’ve ever seen. I’ve never got into Robin Hobb.
The dragon reminds me of Skylynx: http://lh4.ggpht.com/ibeenwantingtopop/Rw18li7MPII/AAAAAAAABEY/ghMAC5oxQO0/skylynx%5B4%5D.jpg
Given that Skylynx is a transformer, and hence robotic, I don’t think it’s a particularly positive comparison.
I think I like this one just fine, actually.
