Re: First peek at the new counter art from Liz Danforth for MELEE 5/18/2018
I'll second that, bellbottoms and all. It was my favorite giant counter of any of the sets. But only if it isn't a top-down view ;)
Speaking of top-view V side-view, here is a link to a side-view 7-hex dragon sketch which I hope illustrates how side view is perfectly serviceable for multihex creatures. |

Hey, Shostak, any chance you have a relative living in Austin, software developer, graduate degree in Math, legendary ASL player? Your name is somewhat unusual down here, and we've been friends for almost 30 years.

Jim, yes the 7-hexer sketch is my own, inspired in part by Hokusai. |

I'm not actually hard-over on either top-down or side views. They both work just fine, as long as the head and tail ends are clear and there's no chance for a debate on facing for the counter.
So, I'd say use whichever one facilitates understanding of the facing issues, and don't worry about it. |

Ideally, I'd want a hinged 7-hex dragon that can bend left and right about the center hex. :-)

Liking what I see a lot. Ms Danforth does quality work. And no need for bell-bottoms, the counters are nostalgic enough already, that would be simply hokey.

I could go either way with the "bell bottoms"--altho I think they look great considering the small size and minimal detail. And again, I never even associated it with "70s fashion" until I saw it described that way in the SJG forums. |
