Sunny's Pictures
I guess this has been discussed already, but noone has started a thread on it.
1257 gives us new detail of Sunny's pictures.
The one on the top-left we can now see as a homely family picture.
The one on the top-right looks like a generic adventurer versus dragon fight. I guess it could be foreshadowing of characters we are yet to meet, but somehow I doubt that. I strongly suspect that this is an archetypal hero versus villains picture where the dragon is the hero.
The one on the bottom simply looks like the Snarl. That has to be the most intriguing point.Ever wondered how many games are mentioned in the comic? I have listed them all in a geeklist: https://boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/2...es-order-stick

Re: Sunny's Pictures
The dragon drawing most likely depicts Kraagor and Serini in an unknown adventure or encounter.

Re: Sunny's Pictures
The colour of the dragon suggests a red dragon They are considered always Chaotic Evil, therefore unlikely to be fit for allies guarding the final layers of gate's defense. Then again, neither are Eye Tyrants, and this may well be a twist and a foreshadowing.
There must be some sense of order - personal, political or dramatic - and if no one else is going to bring it to this world, I will.

Re: Sunny's Pictures
The dragon has a broken horn. It's curious that Sunny has information anout how Kraagor and the Snarl looks like. Can Sunny see Serini's memories?

Re: Sunny's Pictures
Hey, now that you've pointed out the broken horn I'm convinced the dragon will appear at some point of the comic. It does not make sense to include it if the aim was to depict a random heroic tale, and it's not a reference to any other existing character as far as I know. The Giant is very good at subtle hints like that.

iRe: Sunny's Pictures
I think it could go either way. If the scribblers knew about the World-Within, then their past adventures could become relevant, in turn meaning this drawing could be foreshadowing.
BUT it could also be that The Giant wanted Sunny to draw something random for variety's sake and he put in Serini and Kraagor meeting a dragon with a broken horn because why not? Hell, giving the dragon a broken horn might have been a way to avoid theorizing along the lines of "Serini is working with the Empress of Blood" or whatnot.Forum Wisdom

Re: Sunny's Pictures
Because if it is a heroic tale that will not affect the story forward in any way, the dragon needs no distinguishing feature. Whereas if the dragon will play a part in the story in the future, it's convenient to give it a distinguishing feature so the story feels more interconnected when it happens.
I'm uncertain how, in case the dragon itself does not appear again.

Re: Sunny's Pictures
because it gives a sense of Serini having had adventures that are unrelated to th emain plot, thus making the wold seem more lived in? Introducing elements that have no explaantions but could be explained in a many ways is a frequent writing trick.
For example I still remember that in the second (I think? might be third) Eragon book, there's a random guard with premature white hair. Why and how this random dude's hair turned five decades in advance is never explained and he never really matters to the story, but it helps giving a sensation of depth to the world.Forum Wisdom

Re: Sunny's Pictures
The mother of one of my childhood friends had basically all white hair from her twenties. It happens to some people.

Re: Sunny's Pictures
Allow me to paraphrase.
Thelizardfolkdragon with the broken horn details are world-building, not foreshadowing. It'sthe firsta clue that in part of this world (the part that theOracleOrder of the Scribble hails from),lizardfolk can be civilized businesspeople engaged in long-term contracts, as opposed to most D&D worlds where they run around in swamps with crude spearsadventurers fight monsters. It's a sneak peak at what theWestern Continent will look like when we get there: half human, half reptilianOrder of the Scribble used to do. That's it.
In other words, Conservation of Detail is overrated.Cuthalion's art is the prettiest art of all the art. Like my avatar.

Re: Sunny's Pictures
Well, the dracocentaur, the half-dragon with the world's smallest tower shield, the robed half-dragon mage, the four sexist adventurers in the Inn, the warlock, the soulknife and the monk in the Sunrise Bloody Sunrise, Sir Francois's murderhobo companions, that guy who tries to buy polearms from Jiminy, the female monsters in Dorukan's Bathroom &c. &c. all look pretty distinctive to me.

Re: Sunny's Pictures
They are all real people, whereas dragon with broken horn is something Sunny drawn.
