Mighty Dragon
-
I tried freeze-framing the video and linking the images to get a full pic of the Dragon. Having a hard time cleaning it up in Photoshop, but here's the rough image for those curious:

I think its just the theme
-
Very cool. Are those antlers it has?
-
@zone020 - the theme is the Chinese New Year - 2012 is the Year of the Dragon. No one is sure whether the Dragon in the video is a playable character, a skin for the Mighty Eagle, just a cool design for backgrounds or what..
Regardless, it is the first non-pig or bird animal we have seen designed by Rovio, so it's pretty cool.
@BirdLeader - I'm not sure what the official name is, but the "antlers" are fairly common on Chinese Dragon designs. Check out some of the more classical designs from Google Images:

@BirdLeader - They sure *look* like antlers to me, so, that's how I'll refer to them.
@Dr Omega - If you're looking to make a cleaner image of the Mighty Dragon, might I suggest a high-end video editing suite like Premiere, or something similar. That would allow you to export out single frames as individual images, making for less Photoshop work. -
Probably a good idea, but Premiere is expensive and I haven't used it before..
-
This is probably not a playable character, just a fun add-on
-
Hard to tell. All we've seen is a fly-by in a video. I'm not going to try to pre-judge anything. All we can do is wait and see..
-
@Dr Omega You can get Premiere Elements 10 (a more user freindly consumer product) from adobe.com for USD $100. Pretty good deal for Adobe.
-
That is a good price. I actually found one of my FLV converter programs was able to break it out frame by frame. Sadly, it's just as blurry as ever. Looks like it goes so fast they didn't need to animate very smoothly.

@ Dr Omega, First Non-Pig or Bird Animal? What about the Marmosets From ABR?
-
They weren't drawn in AB format. They appear in the Rio movie, so I really don't count them as Rovio designs..
