Sci-Fi Stole My Dragon


Take a close look at this poster and see if you find anything familiar about it.



Yes indeed. A $3M movie gave their international rights to the same company that carried Dragon Hunter. They didn't like the way the actual dragon in the movie looked so they decided to just use ours, and put a different head on it.



It's undeniably the exact same body. Their dragon looks like a giant flaming sting ray, so I can see why they would want to trade up, but they could have asked.



Even the way that the texture under the arm doesn't quite blend seamlessly.



Here's a side view of the texture and shape of the dragon's neck. We've been robbed.

I met with our distributor yesterday about this. We'll see what happens in the future.

I'll post about something cooler soon. Kristi and I have been insanely busy and very tired gearing up for the shoot in November. So until things calm down again, here's a screaming, angry, Halloween pepper.
