Thanks. I'm happy that you like it so much. :-)

Yes, we can convert it to different colors, but I would
advise no to over-use the image. The red dragon alone is
quite a popular monster which appears in many places.

While I understand the fascination of dragon-sets,
we should also consider that Crossfire already has a
quite unique line of dragons:
Fire (= red), cold (=chinese), elec (= blue), wyverns,
chaos wyverns, ancient dragons etc.
Admittedly, our dragon line might not be perfectly
intuitive or complete, but I still like it somehow.

I think it would be cool to add arches and images for
anchient dragons. Ancient dragons became a well-known
part of the CF world, so they really deserve to have an
arch IMO. Especially because they fit very well in our
system: The normal dragons are often too weak for
players in the high-end ranges.


So, I've tried to modify the red dragon slightly
and create an ancient dragon. It still looks very much
alike, but the ancient version has a darker red and
more claws. I've updated the page:

I've tried it. The size is a problem because the 96x64
doesn't fit well into 64x32. Apart from that, the dragon
looks quite adultish.
