08-20-04, 12:20 PM Nice pic. I love the expression on his face and the rough cast look to his "skin." The only thing I don't care for are his eyes - they look like the lenses from a traffic light! I'd prefer mystical sparks.

08-20-04, 12:51 PM Hmmm... seems to be a combination of paper mache, and CGI.
The head looks real, but the neck and body look CG.

08-20-04, 04:22 PM Looks a little like Plasticine to me.

Is anyone getting Wallace and Grommit flasbacks?

08-20-04, 04:28 PM I think its great, though its eyes do look too much like traffic lights, as hanuman pointed out.

08-20-04, 05:22 PM That's probably one of the ugliest I've ever seen warforged depicted.
I don't like it at all, but the eyes especially ruin it.

08-20-04, 05:31 PM Well, to be fair Eberron warforged always look better than Ebberon warforged. :P

08-21-04, 01:18 AM i think both dragon and dungeon have a problem with their covers its always one lone figure. i dont know about the rest of you but thats not really the feel of dnd i wanna see a scence from the adventure inside dungeon on the covers not some sexy pose of a npc from the adventure, anybody else remember the old days of dragon and dungeon when the covers gave you inspiration of an adventure before you even opened the mag?

08-21-04, 10:39 PM It's not my favorite. If you're going to do a CG-style image, I'd like to see something more complex. In this case, it makes it look more like a robot than a warforged... an organic feel is the important distinction, you know?

I get that one figure is high-impact and stands out more on the stands, but having an actual scene is much more evocative.

I believe Takasi is perhaps referencing Dungeon #113 in which the editors misspelled Eberron (2 Rs) as Ebberon (2 Bs) three times - twice on the cover, and once on Page 17 ("Ebberon Dungeon Crawl")?
