Of course you have good eye and I agree with you, with more advanced texturing things like that may happen, however I have yet to find method to deal with it.

Polish modding scene is lately very active, and perhaps this is the first time when we have enough good graphic artists to give it a try and join forces in an attempt to make something larger. It is already happening in project called Alternative units.
With VCMI getting closer and closer to playable version and future 0.99 version with map editor (which I am especially excited about) I may risk statement that this is a future for Heroes 3.
Here is your comparision with Green Dragon:
We will see if I will make it most powerful unit in game, for sure 3hex attack like cerber is staying.
As for tutorials, before even thinking about it I would suggest to start with simple things. It took me about half a year before first version of town screen, and another half for creatures. Learning is sure a time consuming work.
