I got an e-mail reply from Art of War about the Grunbeld colouring I sent them, here is what they had to say, but excuse their poor English:
I'm so chuffed with this My colouring made reference. Sweet 8) I'll be laughing at you people if a green and amethyst Grunbeld goes on sale too!
Onto the matter of colour. I don't want people using the file I took the time to colour and just alter it to colours they see fit. Walter and myself went through the spectrum to find colours that worked and the ones we chose worked a lot better. Some of you haven't taken into account that the area around them is on fire, so blues skies aren't really appropriate. Maybe now I will explain why I chose green and amethyst.
I based the scales on the colouring I did of Grunbeld sometime ago. Refresh your memory? I used green armour, as I felt it suited him perfectly. I applied this colour and method to the scales on his face, and the hard layer on his neck. The reason for amethyst was simply because it's my birthstone. Yes, I admit, Red would probably be a choicer colour, but I didn't want to keep up with the Jones' and just choose the most predictable choice of colours. Besides, Red and Green have been overused with dragons, and with Christmas trees too. As for blue... No.
The reason why the image is so bright be because Grunbeld is emitting light from his mouth. Crystals and gems carry light; hence the reason the corundum around his head is so bright. Also, the scales were highlighted and shaded extremely because of this light.
I guess a lot of you don't think about the aesthetics of the picture when you dogmatically spurt out what colour you want it to be. If you want a red and blue Grunbeld, colour your own and stop altering the Hue/Saturation of my hard work. Thanks.
