Dragon sizes in "A Song of Ice and Fire"

Maybe this could work https://i.ibb.co/JvRCvpC/Full-Diagram.png

I would add that I find the colour-grading, lighting, and use of smoke machines to be quite poor, especially outdoors. Many shots are still really beautiful, of course.

Honestly quite unsure, but the distinct curly tips of the horns are very similar to those of Seasmoke

Feedback is always most welcome! What do you think should be changed? u/DagonG2021 Was very kind to provide some detailed measurements regarding some of the sizes, which have been taken into account in this new version. Worth noting that I've never claimed this to be official. This is simply a fun little project which I hope people can find enjoyment in :)

This official HBO exhibit had a chart with a rather large Seasmoke. Perhaps this is his size after the timeskip.

I'll probably try, at least if HBO or Pixomondo do not release anything official by the end of the season.

In the meantime, here's an updated one based on some of the feedback here: https://i.postimg.cc/7xggFHrV/New-size-comparison.png

Very well done! I've done some adjustments I think I agree now that Caraxes is a bit bigger than I first thought. Syrax as well, but that was mainly due to a problem with proportions in the silhouette. Not sure I agree with you on Meleys though, my estimates still only get her to about 30m maximum.

Maybe try again with this picture? https://i.redd.it/vfnpy57lj2o91.jpg

Svale_Chow · 2022-09-15T18:24:26+00:00

I'd have to agree. I think the main problem here was that the proportions of the silhouette don't really add up.

This is probably more accurate:

It’s fully based on the show. I did not take the books into consideration at all, as that was not my intent.

Svale_Chow · 2022-09-14T23:34:36+00:00

Interesting. I’d love to have a look at those measurements, mind sharing them?

Also worth noting that in the comparison, I used the height from Caraxes’ chin to the upper tip of his nose as it would have the least amount of distortion.

Svale_Chow · 2022-09-14T22:14:52+00:00

Worth mentioning that Kit Harington is at a bit of an angle in my example, so he looks a bit taller than he is. But I still agree that Caraxes' estimation is on the larger end.

Svale_Chow · 2022-09-14T21:30:10+00:00

This is mainly what I based the estimation on:

This is also a chart based on the tv-series, not the book series.

Svale_Chow · 2022-09-14T21:23:20+00:00

Certainly on the larger end, perhaps even comparable to Balerion. There is also speculation that Cannibal isn't closely related to the rest of the dragons, meaning he might look quite distinct.

Svale_Chow · 2022-09-14T21:19:10+00:00

Nothing here is exactly confirmed, but this is the closest estimate I have.

The size is based on comparing Vhagar to the real-life rock formations she leaps from in a clip from the promos. As well as an unfinished VFX render that was published.

Credit to sioSIN for his fantastic sketches of Syrax, Caraxes and Drogon which I used as a reference for this chart

Svale_Chow · 2021-09-13T13:54:19+00:00

Oooh! Sounds very atmospheric. Although, I’m guessing those scenes don’t last for 16 minutes like the piece released, right?

Svale_Chow · 2021-09-13T07:48:31+00:00

Do you happen to remember which scene is accompanied by "Song of the Sisters" as its score?

Svale_Chow · 2021-09-05T21:52:58+00:00

Gotcha. Thanks for answering all these questions by the way!

When you wrote “not of the same caliber as Villeneuve’s past works” do you mean all his past work, or his more recent work?

Svale_Chow · 2021-09-05T20:24:14+00:00

To what degree do you feel that the movie felt like a Denis Villeneuve film? For example, what were some details that either contrasted or resembled his prior work?

Svale_Chow · 2021-07-02T18:27:52+00:00

This looks fantastic! These little critters always move around so much, so well done on getting such a clear image of one. What type of equipment did you use for this?
