Blue. I think it gives the right cold, dead appearance. The green is garish. Plus Kerem choose blue and I think as the artist his opinion should count for a lot.
Green, I better to distinct bones to magic essence...
However, in future expansion, would be nice the other colour came up with another power.. even a red, and yellow... Oh wait that's too much the almighty power rangers =p
BLUE for sure....110% agree with Richard on the blue looking more Spectral. Green is frankly way too obvious and looks like every other undead iteration out there. Blue is WAYYY more elegant and original so my vote is with Kerem on this one!
Blue. Absolutely. The green looks undead, sure, in the stereotypical zombie sense, but the contrast is frankly rather garish in comparison. The blue makes it look unearthly and powerful like a ghoul, as opposed to a green oozing slimy swamp monster.
Sure, green has more contrast with the background, but I honestly feel it's not a desirable effect. The blue is much smoother and compliments the dragon's skeletal structure... which is more important IMHO.
I like the blue in this version and the green in the original sketch (which I realize is not really the question being asked). The blue here "within" the skeleton makes it feel as if it is the dragon come back to life or un-death. In the original sketch I really like how the green is "outside" the more bone-color skeleton. It conveys life to the green itself as if some green energy just happened upon the bones of a dragon and imbued them with it's own life-force. Or maybe I'm thinking too hard.
While I think that in general a pale green is accepted as the universal color for necromancy (for whatever reason), this green is too bright of a color, and therefore the blue is better. However, if it was the pale green from the concept, I think it would be the way to go.
Originally I thought I would like the green better, but seeing it, blue is aesthetically much more pleasing. Now that the term spectral has been applied I "get" it.
Green fits better with thze undead theme, but the blue fits better to the current background. i would prefer the green dragon with a more suitable background color
I greatly prefer the green. Blue looks too much like a frost dragon. In my imagination, necromancy's got a little of the (anti-)organic to it, so green is fitting.
My heart says blue but there's no denying that the green contrasts more with the purple background and gives the dragon a more vibrant appearance. I vote green.
I vote for blue. The green almost too in-your-face. I like the subtlety of the blue. It's menacing, but also compelling. It also hints at a darker, unseen power.
I choose the blue as preferred color. Its darker which reminds me more of necromancy The green is to bright to be coming fourth from dark magic. my 2 cents
Blue. The green energy looks somewhat artificial, blue seems more suited for a lightning-type energy. Perhaps if the green were a bit more bluish it would look more natural.
Blue! The Blue contrasts with the background better as well as it being a common color used for a ghostly or spectral nature. Green is more of a nature or poison color and doesn't fit well with the theme. The green clashes horribly with the purple background as well.
It IS a hard call. My only problem with the blue is that it makes the card look almost exactly like Sindragosa from Wrath of the Lich King. The green is a little too bright and it mutes out the gorgeous art. :(
If the choice is a flat either/or, I have to go with blue.
I thought green would be nicer and convey a more undead feel, but this green is too bright and vibrant. A duller, more sickly green would be much better. As it stands, the blue is better than this current green.
Even though GREEN is my all time favorite color and I choose it for everything, the blue does look more spectral and ghostly. Th Green would be better suited for something like a Pestilence Dragon
I like them both and I agree the Green on Purple background makes for nice contrast, but to me it screams Cthulhu which has no place in a dragon game. The Spectral Blue as it's being called has to be my choice. Go Blue!
The blue works better with the purple background. Analogous colours are subtler and can be much more effective. The blue implies an electric 'life' force, a spirit, an essence. I liked the green with the original background colour, but it just doesn't work as well on the purple.
Green is sooo much cooler, besides green and purple are oldschool netrunner colors, and they have been used together for a long time because of the way they complement each other.
Actually I prefer the one on the page of kickstarter more than both of these, it's both more dragonish and more undeadish, these ones are more magical.
Blue. The green, aside from being a bit overpowering to me in this case, is also the wrong colour for this type of dragon, I think - it either speaks to vitality (which is by definition the opposite of what this dragon is about) or to poison, which I think is irrelevant. Blue is a cool colour, less lively and more subdued (which I think is good in the context of death) but it does pack some power by how closely the art on the dragon resembles lightning (which in general is a good element for a dragon, reminiscent of tempests and danger and of air, the essence of any dragon)
Blue, no question. Where some see contrast with the green and purple, I just see clash. Blue complements the purple background nicely, and the piece feels more whole that way.
If you really want the green, the background should change. If you like the purple background, stick with the blue.
I vote blue, I was torn with green but only because it's more vibrant than the blue against the darker purple background. Maybe even a more vibrant blue or lighten the purple background against the blue. I understand the darkness of the purple for undead, but the current darkness is muddying up the details of the graphic.
Blue - while the green is more vibrant, it also seems to be more closely related to life. While blue does seem more frost-dragony (I'm sure that's a word!)... it is closer to a 'death' appearance than green.
Plus, the green is not as easy to see through... and it starts to look like a green dragon with very tiny spikes all over his hide.
Out of these two alternatives the blue one looks better with the purplish background, but I think the original art looked a lot better: green on a blackish background.
I don't have a preference for blue vs green. But, is changing the color of the dragon to an off white or tan an option? As it is, the dragon gets a bit blended into the background.
Blue. The background is purple and the bones have a heavy hint of purple to them, blue would fit that color scheme much better. If you do end up going with green, please use the original greyish background. Green and purple make me think Barney.
Blue. I think the green would look good if it was a really washed out green (pale, like the initial Undead dragon image we saw ages ago). Green has been used for undead things for so long that it really does fit, but it needs to be a dead, withered green; not this vibrant, bright green presented here.
Blue. Looks like I would imagine a Draco-lich (pardon the use of trademarked terms) SHOULD look. I also agree with Nicholas (post feb 25, 7:12 AM) that if you do go with green it needs to be a less vibrant green. The green is utterly cool, but it needs a grey or washed background (i.e., anything but The Riddler green-and-purple).
On a separate note, I really hope the rules are totally awesome, but I would have bought the game just for the card art. Seriously Kerem. Keep it coming. And rules guys just be aware that if you do an awesome job on the rules, this game is going to be a New Level of EPIC.
Blue is a more natural color combo. But the Green gives it a greater depth and seems more unnatural (not a bad thing :). I'm really good with either one.
Both are amazing. I agree with others that green gives more contrast with a purple background. Blue had a better 'feel' to it but would be better served with a different colored background.
Green. More contrast with the background.
ReplyDeleteBlue. I think it gives the right cold, dead appearance. The green is garish. Plus Kerem choose blue and I think as the artist his opinion should count for a lot.
DeleteI agree, and Green is more "undeady too", but Kerem likes the blue. I'm torn.
ReplyDeleteGreen. More contrast with the background [2]
ReplyDeleteGreen FOR SURE! So much more necromantic!!!
ReplyDeleteGreen. I like the contrast better.
ReplyDeleteI like the Blue
ReplyDeleteWith the two decks, can 1 be blue and 1 be green?
ReplyDelete@Devil that would drive the printing costs up.
ReplyDeleteI like the Blue (Green makes me think zombie, Not something from necromancy).
ReplyDeleteBlue is more 'Spectral' undead and a much cooler colour than the green which looks ok but green is a tad obvious.
ReplyDeleteGah! They both look awesome!
ReplyDeleteGreen for me.
ReplyDeleteBlue, coz the green clashes with the background terribly. It actually makes it look kinda cheap and nasty.
ReplyDeleteGreen, I better to distinct bones to magic essence...
ReplyDeleteHowever, in future expansion, would be nice the other colour came up with another power.. even a red, and yellow... Oh wait that's too much the almighty power rangers =p
BLUE for sure....110% agree with Richard on the blue looking more Spectral. Green is frankly way too obvious and looks like every other undead iteration out there. Blue is WAYYY more elegant and original so my vote is with Kerem on this one!
ReplyDelete*is better
ReplyDeleteI vote for blue. Looks more like a spirit or apparition is possessing the bones. More ethereal. I keep thinking 'poison' or 'diseased' with the green.
ReplyDeleteTevin votes, blue
ReplyDeleteBlue. Absolutely. The green looks undead, sure, in the stereotypical zombie sense, but the contrast is frankly rather garish in comparison. The blue makes it look unearthly and powerful like a ghoul, as opposed to a green oozing slimy swamp monster.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely the blue, evokes a different feeling than the green does.
ReplyDeleteBlue. Because green impresses a life and vitality. But this dragon must be what revolts against them.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Luis. Green is a better contrast.
ReplyDeleteSure, green has more contrast with the background, but I honestly feel it's not a desirable effect. The blue is much smoother and compliments the dragon's skeletal structure... which is more important IMHO.
ReplyDeleteBlue. Definitely blue.
ReplyDeleteI like the blue in this version and the green in the original sketch (which I realize is not really the question being asked). The blue here "within" the skeleton makes it feel as if it is the dragon come back to life or un-death. In the original sketch I really like how the green is "outside" the more bone-color skeleton. It conveys life to the green itself as if some green energy just happened upon the bones of a dragon and imbued them with it's own life-force. Or maybe I'm thinking too hard.
ReplyDeleteBlue
ReplyDeleteBlue, definitely blue
ReplyDeleteWhile I think that in general a pale green is accepted as the universal color for necromancy (for whatever reason), this green is too bright of a color, and therefore the blue is better. However, if it was the pale green from the concept, I think it would be the way to go.
ReplyDeleteBlue, very icy/spectral looking, and the blue looks much cooler with the purple
ReplyDeleteOriginally I thought I would like the green better, but seeing it, blue is aesthetically much more pleasing. Now that the term spectral has been applied I "get" it.
ReplyDeleteBlue. Why? Because I'm not a green fan; I like blue, and a cool blue dragon would be nice.
ReplyDeleteGreen.
ReplyDeleteIt provides a much better contrast and looks more undead to me.
Green - Blue reminds me of Syndragosa
ReplyDeleteBlue.
ReplyDeleteI vote for Green.
ReplyDeleteBlue!
ReplyDeleteCold and dead.
Green looks way to flowery.
Green for sure. It conveys a sense of necromancy much better than the blue.
ReplyDeleteBlue
ReplyDeleteYeah, Blue. I agree that it looks more spectral. And I just think it looks awesome. The green kind of looks like he's got poison mist. :P
ReplyDeleteDefinitely blue.
ReplyDeleteGreen. I like the blue coloring but not for an undead. Maybe use the blue for the celestial.
ReplyDeleteBlue, for the reasons given above -- it just makes for a better-looking card.
ReplyDelete(If you really want to know what I think, the "preliminary sketch" at the bottom of the KS page was by far better than both of these....)
green
ReplyDeleteBlue is better!
ReplyDeleteblue!
ReplyDeleteI vote for Green
ReplyDeleteGreen
ReplyDeleteBlue. Blue gives it more of the undead feel.
ReplyDeleteI like the Green, it's more vibrant.
ReplyDeleteGreen for sure. Contrasts more with the background to bring out the skeleton of the dragon.
ReplyDeleteI vote blue... looks more ghostly. The green is too bright.
ReplyDeleteBlue. The color is smoother and fits more nicely, the green is too eye-searing.
ReplyDeleteGreen fits better with thze undead theme, but the blue fits better to the current background. i would prefer the green dragon with a more suitable background color
ReplyDeleteBlue
ReplyDeleteDefinitely blue.
ReplyDeleteBlue. Definitely blue.
ReplyDeleteBlue please.
ReplyDeleteBlue!
ReplyDeleteBlue. More spirit like.
ReplyDeleteGreen is more on the poison side, which is different from undead.
Green. It stands out against the background and looks more sickly, as undead should.
ReplyDeleteGreen, because of contrast, but it would be cool to have both (since they both look AWESOME).
ReplyDelete"The Great Undead Dragon Controversy 2014" begins....
Blue
ReplyDeleteI think blue has a more undead feel to it.
ReplyDeleteBlue. It just looks more sleek.
ReplyDeleteBlue. I can feel the cold, lifeless energy when I see this. Green seems too 'alive' to me.
ReplyDeleteI'm going for blue, I actually like how the colors blend in. Green is just a little too sharp for my eyes.
ReplyDeleteBlue. Green is too bright.
ReplyDeleteGreen :)
ReplyDeleteBlue
ReplyDeleteGreen.
ReplyDeleteI greatly prefer the green. Blue looks too much like a frost dragon. In my imagination, necromancy's got a little of the (anti-)organic to it, so green is fitting.
I'd say blue. It seems more magically animating to me, bright green is more of a natural life color.
ReplyDeleteGreen is the best.
ReplyDeleteThe Blue has an electrical feel to it that is nice. However the Green just jumps right out there at you. Very magical in nature.
Green. It has better contrast and looks creepier.
ReplyDeleteGreen
ReplyDeleteGreen, definitely has a more undead/unholy feel.
ReplyDeleteGreen
ReplyDeleteBLUE!
ReplyDeleteBlue looks better!
ReplyDeleteI'm torn, I have to admit. I like them both. My vote today is for Blue (in agreement with others that the other looks a little obvious)
ReplyDeleteMy heart says blue but there's no denying that the green contrasts more with the purple background and gives the dragon a more vibrant appearance. I vote green.
ReplyDeleteblue
ReplyDeleteI vote for blue. The green almost too in-your-face. I like the subtlety of the blue. It's menacing, but also compelling. It also hints at a darker, unseen power.
ReplyDeleteA vote for green.
ReplyDeleteI choose the blue as preferred color. Its darker which reminds me more of necromancy
ReplyDeleteThe green is to bright to be coming fourth from dark magic.
my 2 cents
Blue. It "pops" better and seems colder too...
ReplyDeleteGreen.
ReplyDeleteBlue. The green energy looks somewhat artificial, blue seems more suited for a lightning-type energy. Perhaps if the green were a bit more bluish it would look more natural.
ReplyDeleteGREEN = Undead
ReplyDeleteBlue, por favor!
ReplyDeleteGreen! :)
ReplyDeleteBlue! The Blue contrasts with the background better as well as it being a common color used for a ghostly or spectral nature. Green is more of a nature or poison color and doesn't fit well with the theme. The green clashes horribly with the purple background as well.
ReplyDeleteblue, looks more undead. Green usually means life
ReplyDeleteBlue. I associate green with life, not undead.
ReplyDeleteBlue for me.
ReplyDeleteGreen!
ReplyDeleteThe blue version blends with the sekeleton too much losing some of the "ghostly" effect, whereas the green is more striking.
It IS a hard call. My only problem with the blue is that it makes the card look almost exactly like Sindragosa from Wrath of the Lich King. The green is a little too bright and it mutes out the gorgeous art. :(
ReplyDeleteIf the choice is a flat either/or, I have to go with blue.
Definitely blue!
ReplyDeleteBlue
ReplyDeleteI thought green would be nicer and convey a more undead feel, but this green is too bright and vibrant. A duller, more sickly green would be much better. As it stands, the blue is better than this current green.
ReplyDeleteBlue; more eyecatching, more ghostly
ReplyDelete+1 to Blue
ReplyDeleteGREEN --- the color of death and "putridness".
ReplyDeleteEvile Magicks tend to be more GREEN than blue. >:}
ReplyDeleteGotta go green, It a bit more and dunno feels more undead.
ReplyDeleteI choose Blue!
ReplyDeleteGreen is the color of plants, of life.
Blue is a "colder" color - the coldness of almost death.
Blue. Definitely blue.
ReplyDeleteEven though GREEN is my all time favorite color and I choose it for everything, the blue does look more spectral and ghostly. Th Green would be better suited for something like a Pestilence Dragon
ReplyDeleteI like the green better if it were on a different background.
ReplyDeleteso blue.
I like them both and I agree the Green on Purple background makes for nice contrast, but to me it screams Cthulhu which has no place in a dragon game. The Spectral Blue as it's being called has to be my choice. Go Blue!
ReplyDeleteGREEN. Looks sweet!
ReplyDeleteBlue...it leaves that piercing chill.
ReplyDeleteThe blue works better with the purple background. Analogous colours are subtler and can be much more effective. The blue implies an electric 'life' force, a spirit, an essence. I liked the green with the original background colour, but it just doesn't work as well on the purple.
ReplyDeleteGreen, the contrast with the background is nicer, even if I usually prefer the blue undeads.
ReplyDeleteBLUE - Looks much cleaner. And Green as undead has been done to death.
ReplyDeleteI iam in the Green camp. Much richer and more viberant against the background!!
ReplyDeleteblue
ReplyDeleteTough choice, but I think I'll have to say I like BLUE a smidgen better.
ReplyDeleteThey both look great but I vote Blue.
ReplyDeleteBlue. Seems colder, less alive.
ReplyDeleteBlue is more representative of dead and cold. Green is more representative of a dragon. I vote for blue in this case.
ReplyDeleteBlue looks way better - more "realistic" and scary
ReplyDeleteGreen is sooo much cooler, besides green and purple are oldschool netrunner colors, and they have been used together for a long time because of the way they complement each other.
ReplyDeleteBlue, as my eyes hurt when I look at green.
ReplyDeleteActually I prefer the one on the page of kickstarter more than both of these, it's both more dragonish and more undeadish, these ones are more magical.
ReplyDeleteI say blue. Green reminds me a poison. Blue gives a feel of magic and feeling of cold death.
ReplyDeleteBlue. The green, aside from being a bit overpowering to me in this case, is also the wrong colour for this type of dragon, I think - it either speaks to vitality (which is by definition the opposite of what this dragon is about) or to poison, which I think is irrelevant.

ReplyDeleteBlue, although in looking at the background, I'd also recommend a shift in the purples to a slightly more gray tone to complement the blue.
ReplyDeleteHow about green for the main game, then throw the blue version in with the Celestial Dragon add-on?
ReplyDeleteGreen
ReplyDeleteBlue looks cold and dead
ReplyDeleteGreen, but a shade darker (more sinister)
ReplyDeleteThe blue version gets my vote!
ReplyDeleteBlue.
ReplyDeletegreen
ReplyDeleteBlue, no question. Where some see contrast with the green and purple, I just see clash. Blue complements the purple background nicely, and the piece feels more whole that way.

I understand the darkness of the purple for undead, but the current darkness is muddying up the details of the graphic.
ReplyDeleteGreen!
ReplyDeleteGreen. Blue looks too much like the Frost Wyrms from Warcraft III.
ReplyDeleteI like the blue better, but they both fit the theme.
ReplyDeleteBlue. The green is too harsh against the elegant artwork.
ReplyDeleteBlue. Green has too much contrast and doesn't have the sleek look of blue.
ReplyDeleteBlue - more spectral. Green is for irradiated zombies.
ReplyDeleteBlue. Love it.
ReplyDeleteBlue - while the green is more vibrant, it also seems to be more closely related to life. While blue does seem more frost-dragony (I'm sure that's a word!)... it is closer to a 'death' appearance than green.
ReplyDeletePlus, the green is not as easy to see through... and it starts to look like a green dragon with very tiny spikes all over his hide.
Both beautiful though... no doubt!
I like the Blue.
ReplyDeleteThey're both nice, so I won't be disappointed either way, but I think Green looks a bit more evil.
ReplyDeleteI prefer the blue one
ReplyDeleteGreen. I think given the set it stands out more than the blue one.
ReplyDeleteOut of these two alternatives the blue one looks better with the purplish background, but I think the original art looked a lot better: green on a blackish background.
ReplyDeleteBlue for sure
ReplyDeleteI like the blue it is more subtle, the green is cool but a bit over-the-top for me.
ReplyDeleteBlue! It goes much better with the background!
ReplyDeleteBlue.
ReplyDeleteAnd blue.
There's two of us here that will be playing.
Green - death is always black or green in fantasy realms :)
ReplyDeleteI pefer the Blue. Green is more traditional as undead, however that makes the blue all the more attractive in this image.
ReplyDeleteBlue! It's got a spectral feel to it. The green is too vibrant, screams zombie and clashes with the background.
ReplyDeleteI vote the blue. I think blue makes it look more sleek. though both colors look amazing to say the least.
ReplyDeleteBlue gets my vote. It looks more Spectral!
ReplyDeleteGreen, it has more of a classic undead look.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteBlue... Green looks too stereotype and I don't like how it contrasts to the background.
ReplyDeleteBlue; better color interaction with the background and green is such a cliche undead color
ReplyDeleteI don't have a preference for blue vs green. But, is changing the color of the dragon to an off white or tan an option? As it is, the dragon gets a bit blended into the background.
ReplyDeleteI putting in for Blue as well.
ReplyDeleteGreen! Looks excellent with the Purple!
ReplyDeleteBlue.
ReplyDeleteThe background is purple and the bones have a heavy hint of purple to them, blue would fit that color scheme much better. If you do end up going with green, please use the original greyish background. Green and purple make me think Barney.
I vote blue. For some reason at a quick glance the green looks like a shrub.
ReplyDeleteBLUE for sure. Blue has the cold chill of the dead to it while green has the essence of chlorophyll, and life,.
ReplyDeleteI like the green but it doesn't sit well with the purple background. I really liked the green on the dark grey that you had on the kickstarter page.
ReplyDeleteBlue :-) Definitely has a more cold, wraith-like look to it. The green looks more like a poisonous breath weapon.
ReplyDeleteGreen. Blue is more of a celestial type of color whereas green represents more of an undead energy.
ReplyDeleteBlue. I think the green would look good if it was a really washed out green (pale, like the initial Undead dragon image we saw ages ago). Green has been used for undead things for so long that it really does fit, but it needs to be a dead, withered green; not this vibrant, bright green presented here.
ReplyDeleteBlue
ReplyDeleteBlue. Definitely blue.
ReplyDeleteGreen is my favorite color and I'm voting Blue. It just looks better.
ReplyDeleteI prefer Blue, it´s more "ghostly" and darker. Green seems more like Mortal Combat.
ReplyDeleteBlue
ReplyDeleteBlue, absolutely blue! Although, I do agree with Nicholas' comment about if green is chosen, make it a pale, undead kind of green and not so vibrant.
ReplyDeleteBlue is more cold and dead. Green is more alive. I vote blue.
ReplyDeleteBlue very much. Green is sickly and poisonous but doesn't scream undead to me. Blue is ice, cold, dead.
ReplyDeleteI prefer the Blue.
ReplyDeleteBlue conveys the Undead theme more than green although they both look great!
ReplyDeleteGreen looks more undead. Green contrasts better. Green is my favorite color.
ReplyDeleteBlue. Looks like I would imagine a Draco-lich (pardon the use of trademarked terms) SHOULD look. I also agree with Nicholas (post feb 25, 7:12 AM) that if you do go with green it needs to be a less vibrant green. The green is utterly cool, but it needs a grey or washed background (i.e., anything but The Riddler green-and-purple).

Blue is a more natural color combo. But the Green gives it a greater depth and seems more unnatural (not a bad thing :). I'm really good with either one.
ReplyDeleteBoth are amazing. I agree with others that green gives more contrast with a purple background. Blue had a better 'feel' to it but would be better served with a different colored background.
ReplyDeleteMy vote is for blue.
ReplyDeleteblue, or both
ReplyDeleteBlue definitely captures the coldness of the undead better.
ReplyDeleteBlue edges it for me but I like them both
ReplyDeleteBlue looks more spectral and closer to what I would imagine the undead look like.
ReplyDeleteBlue's my choice.
ReplyDeleteBlue... it looks more "Necrotic"
ReplyDeleteI believe that the green looks to be "Toxic".
So my vote is BLUE!
Green. It stands out more. Plus it looks cool!
ReplyDeleteI vote Blue. Less zombie like, more arcanic
ReplyDeleteBlue, it looks nicer with the purple background.
ReplyDeleteB L U E
ReplyDeleteGreen. It is more supernatural. The blue is too SFish.
ReplyDeleteBlue please
ReplyDelete
