Yes I think dragons look better as 700x700 images
[img]https://i.ibb.co/k2qRhSS/Astriel-big.png[/img]
I would like to propose that we use 700x700 images for viewing dragons in our lairs instead of the current 350x350
Edit: Also this allows eye types to be much more visible on breeds with smaller eyes
Thank you

That looks...so good (sorry for double and early post, computer lagged)
Support! Though I'm not sure how they would without shrinking everything else, this does look very good

You can make your own using this tool; select '2x' to upsize most images, including FR ones, without much loss of resolution.
Re: suggestion, we do know that a dragon profile page revamp is coming eventually, and that there'll be an adjustment curve while we get used to the new layout regardless. While I'm more interested in seeing more buttons and options (such as 'move to/from den' ones and 'scry this dragon' ones), that would also be a good time for bigger images if they're going to do it.
Wouldn't disrupt the forums much, since images are already juuuust a bit too big to post two dragons side-by-side, and presumably there'd still be URL tricks (like the current ones for thumbnail and avatar size) for using 350 size if you wanted it.

My only worry with this is skins/accents - and possibly apparel
While the upscaling tool works.. it's not foolproof and it often makes details blurry, etc.
So unless every accent/skin on-site can either be resubmitted at an appropriate size or otherwise scaled up from the .png files that they're submitted as... then I'm not sure if upscaling everything would work.
I don't know how they save apparel on the back-end either but if it's also just .png's then upscaling all of it might not really be an option either. Although, I would hope that they also have the standard PSD files as well.
Alternatively, a button to toggle on a larger image of JUST the dragon could potentially work. Since we've got the PSD download files that suggest that the dragons are that size naturally and then downscaled. So just using the bigger version would be well within the realm of possibility.
Although, I would be lying if I didn't say I'd prefer an upscaled everything... I'm just not sure how feasible that is
Edit to clarify:
Based purely on the PSD files we have avaliable to us for download (to make skins/accents) we already have files on site that prove dragons can be shown at larger scale without being blurry - the dragon in the OP is upscaled using an upscaler and not the actual PSDs.
So if the PSDs are used at their full size then we'd have dragons that wouldn't be blurry.
However, we don't know how apparel is saved on the back-end so we don't know if it can be effectively scaled up for use.
We DO know that skins/accents are submitted as .png files which might run into issues with re-sizing.
So if that issue can be resolved without ruining the artwork then I'd heartily support it! However, if it can't be solved then upscaling the dragon by itself would be a welcome edition.

I don't want blurry dragons :c sorry

Dragons would probably not be blurry, but apparel most likely WOULD be.
