I think a good way to slide back into the Spyro fandom will be to draw more dragons. But I've drawn my characters WAY too much. So my solution? I'll draw yours~
So come one, come all, and if you give me a good description of your dragon character (or a picture, a picture reference would be SO HELPFUL) I can give it a shot. Please specify if you want it to be done on paper or using MS Paint.
Traditional art will look something like this:

Except my anatomy has gotten slightly better since then and I will try to make sure the scanner picks up the color better. I may or may not do a background... that'll be up to how I feel when I get done.
My MS Paint artwork is to this quality:

It will be considerably brighter, though if your dragon has any gradient shading (red shifting to orange, or something) it will be easier to do traditionally.
So now that I've shown you what my art looks like, would anyone like a little something? Feel free to talk to me, I don't bite. smile

i made a really crappy ref one time - http://oi39.tinypic.com/21s94l.jpg (notice eyes are like gecko eyes if you can do that)
so pretty much like Spyro actually, except the obvious things like color. and just a few small things like -no- spiky things on the back please, and notice that the torso is a bit longer than normal.
but overall i don't want to be extremely nitpicky here, it's a kinda vague description and i don't have a 100% to-the-last-detail idea in mind anyway. do whatever works!
so if that's all okay, i'd like it done in MS Paint.

All right, I can work with that ref. Gecko eyes are so neat.
But quick question, are the membranes of the wings the same color as the arms? And I assume he has no belly plates. If so, you could just specify what they look like. I just want to make sure of colors before I get started.

i didn't even think of that when i made the ref, honestly. seeing how dragon wings seems to work, the membranes should probably be a little lighter than the other part. unless it'd be easier to leave them the same shade. tongue whatever works.

and yep, no belly plate.

All right, here. Hope it's okay.

(for some reason the site pixelated it. wat)

... did you actually make that in 15 minutes?!

wow, thanks! big_smile looks good. smile

you did some extra things i didn't even ask you to do, like i notice the legs are really skinny and the eyes are big. both of which are just details i didn't really feel were important enough to bring up, but are definitely true to what i have in mind. smile

Oh no, it took about an hour, with me goofing off to watch YouTube videos occasionally. I just asked at the last minute about the belly plates and wings. All I had to do was recolor the wings, which took like two minutes, and then posted it.
I'm glad you like it, though. smile

Sorry for the late reply, but sure, I can draw him. So it's basically Spyro with an alternate color scheme? You want him in Legend of Spyro style or the classic style? I can manage either one.
Oh, and should I draw it in MS Paint or on paper?

RadSpyro · Dec 20, 2013 11:33 PM

Yep, that's pretty much it (I'm -so- original tongue ). If you could get his little pendant in, that would be great too, but no worries if not. Classic if possible!
And go for whichever you're most comfortable with - You seem to be talented at both! smile

All right, I'll see what I can do. smile It might be a while, what with me getting even lazier around Christmas (this always happens during the holidays) so if a few days pass with no response, just remind me.

Spyro_For_Life · Dec 21, 2013 5:59 AM

Disregard the above, I got it done. It's not quite classic style but I got as close as I could while still retaining my own style. smile

Here's a link to it on deviantART as well, where I think it looks better: http://tallest-ariva.deviantart.com/art … -421299742

It looks fantastic, thanks! I'll leave a note on deviantArt too. Thanks again!

No problem, and I'm glad you like it. smile It was fun doing the classic Spyro style again. I practiced with it once, a long time ago... maybe I should do that again.
