The only beef I have with this is the same as what I have with roughly 80% of Ridley art:
THERE IS NO FERKING WAY A BIOLOGICAL CREATURE WOULD HAVE A BALL-JOINT IN ITS' NECK.
Vulture-neck (long, thin, able to flex broadly) sure, I can see as a possibility. This, however, just looks absurd! It's like his head was removed and someone stuck it on the end of a puppet arm! The only logical option in this case would be that the head itself is a separate organism (lungs, circulation, digestion, what have you) that is bound to the other half which leeches nutrients from the headbrainstomach!
I'm a big fan of fantasy and sci-fi and all that nonrealistic stuff, but this boggles the mind beyond anything else. The games do a fairly good job of carving out biological niches for all the rest of creation and sundry, but the fucking SPACE DRAGON has a puppet neck and wings where its' head should be, WAHOO HERE WE GO BOYS THAT'S SOME GOOD SCIENCE.
<tl;dr> LEARN TO BIOLOGY. </rant>
Bitchfest aside, I rather like this picture. Shiny and pretty and depicting of a major 'ohshit' moment from a game I really should get back to finishing.
