So I'm dabbling in redesigning Spyro stuff for fan reasons; like making a Spyro reboot except I cannot make reboots, I don't own Spyro.
Spyro so far has had 3 incarnations; Classic Spyro (soon to have a remaster!) is a colourful and charming series of games involving travelling from world to world using portals and collecting gems as a currency. The Legend of Spyro is completely different; the same purple dragon is reimagined as an unlikely hero in a grand epic fantasy world, learning different elements to combat enemies and a sinister evil. Skylanders Spyro has lots and lots of playable characters and is set in a world of floating islands.
Some say each reboot has it's own story and is unrelated to the others, but the reoccuring characters and themes has caused people to think that maybe... just maybe... there is a connection. The Legend of Spyro injects a lot of lore everywhere, and people read between the lines to say 'a purple dragon born every 1000 years' = Classic, Legendary and Skylander Spyro (and various Malefors).
So anyway, I'm coming up with fun ideas involving common themes from Spyro games (the dragonflies, the gems, Hunter the Cheetah, various dragon elders and guardians) and I briefly had an idea where you could play as any of 3 dragons: Spyro with a purple and yellow colour scheme (fire breath), Cynder with a purple and red (lightning breath), and a new dragon with purple and blue (ice breath).
Ditched that idea, but the above designs (purple and yellow Spyro with red and purple Cynder) were from that version. I then had more ideas, leaning heavily on Spyro: Shadow Legacy and on the theory that Cynder must be alongside Spyro in every game after Dawn of the Dragon because they had their souls linked by magic in that game. So there's a shadow world, Cynder lives there, different breath abilities with different problem solving opportunities in each world blah blah
When I was small I played Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly which, while Classic Spyro, was a knock-off rushed game (I still loved it). I enjoyed the eastern themes in that game, so Spyro drawn here is more 'Eastern' looking (and so is Cynder). They are wingless, and get wings from the magic bestowed upon them by their dragonflies (will do some Sparx fanart soon). The little doodle with a screenshot knicked from a Classic Spyro game is an example of me playing with this concept.
I've done an animation of this fan design Spyro running with Sparx, but I won't post it until either I give up on these ideas, or I've animated some other characters.
Flame and Ember will also be in the fan designs don't worry.
