Can the Ruby Dragon Skull antiquity please be resized?

It's a simple matter of perspective and with that in mind I feel ZOS' image of the skull displays its dimensions accurately. That being said, when I saw an image of the skull for the first time I did not have perspective in mind and I wish that thing would be at least five times bigger, so I can use it for something better than just putting it on a shelf.

While I expected it to be bigger than it actually is, it doesn't really matter. There are a lot of cool new furnishings, and it's a great paperweight.

In the scale of things (snare drum please!) there are far more important things need addressing than the size of one furnishing.

The first image was taken from ZOS's antiquities promo video. The second was taken in my house. I realize that the first was accomplished through forced perspective, but can this antiquity please be resized so that it's bigger than the size of like, a hamster skull?

Oml that is the baby sized one xD

Paperweight? What's the point in that? You ever seen paper fleeing? "Oh, look, my paper's getting away, uuuh!". Ridiculous!

I've only unearthed one, so far.
It wasn't what I was expecting, but it is a nice artifact.

However--
I think it was a really dirty marketing stunt to use forced-perspective in the later promo pics to continue to create a false expectation of the item they used to represent the Antiquities system.

And they DID use it to represent the system. It was the very first Antiquity we as players saw.

Only... IN that first promo pic, there was no forced-perspective:
(from this article back in January)


(unless that dude is really tiny.)


And that pic set my expectation for what I'd find.


It is a nice little item, but I won't actively be looking for the lead, anymore. I'll complete the Codex for it, as I stumble across leads over time, but my level of desire for it has diminished.
It WAS going to be one of the items I absolutely wanted multiples of, but that was based on the size we were led to expect in that first pic, before I found the one I have.

notyuu

the best idea would be to add a resizing tool to the housing system so we can make any furnishing any size we want

We were all deceived. lol

Oh damn, I have never seen the picture of the large version of the ruby skull. I am appalled. But I choose to believe that that guy is indeed really tiny.

That scar on his forehead is a cut from a blade...of grass.

Its hilariously small. I remember when I got my first one and I was planning on moving furniture to create a place big enough to show off its expected majesty. Ended up on a fireplace mantle because it was the only place you could actually see it.

It's been available to see since before the release...

Some of the stuff this company does is so shady.

I LIKE that the Ruby Skull is so small. Look around your house -- there are probably all sorts of small items you enjoy and that make the house feel lived in. I wish ESO had MORE small items available, like polished stones or whatever, to be used as paperweights or homey decorations.

Yeah, it could be bigger. It's not like rubies are rare in Tamriel. Probably got 5000+ in my craft bag.
