Description
ok first off I wanna say that this is taken straight from memory. I did not use any reference except for the frame for the portal, so I know it might not all be accurate.Ok so this started off as a doodle at work. I decided to take it home and make the lines cleaner....and well....this is what I ended up with XD
I always do this. start with something then can't stop adding things.
So this is the first area in Avalar. It's one of my own personal favourits in the second Spyro game.
It's a very rare background. I hardly ever upload any, but I do practice on them XD;;

I loved the Legend trilogy but classic all the ways, the details are truly awesome, probably one of the greatest Spyro classic fanart I ever see. You did a really great job, the details of the trees, the movement of the waters, and the background on the portal level. The shadow and light are perfect. I love how a part of one of the tree was under the water. You should drawΒ Autumn Plains, and Winter Tundra, like you do with the Summer Forest.

It's not Elora, but it is a spectacular drawing of Summer Forest. Excellent work!

It's a pretty accurate drawing for doing it from memory. This is really good! Man, how many times have I done that level (Glimmer) before? Lol love it.

Ripto's Rage was an amazing game.
I like all of the details! Looks very nice~

That is beyond gorgeous. What a marvellous way to recreate that part of Summer Forest. You've got me imagining a Spyro Trilogy remake with a beautiful art style such as that now.

That is superb. I've never seen anyone just draw a background from Spyro before, I'm heartily impressed.

Those trees must have taken oh so much patience. I commend you.
My next thought was: break the pots! there's stuff in them! <-- sure sign of too much Zelda

Wow memory lane here. From the name I thought nothing but the moment i saw the portal and river a flood of memories just came rushing back. Hehe, thank you.

Wow, it's pretty, and so full of memories. It might not be exact with the details, but it gets the location across just fine.

I love that game. The first Spyro game i ever got.. never gets old
you must have a great memory!

Wow, that's a really cool background! I wish I could draw detail like that!
π: 0 β©: 0
Oh my god, it looks just like it!

heh, cool. I loved spyro so much. Until I got Kingdom Hearts, then Spyro had to live in the unwanted drawer with Crash Bandicoot and Hercules. Also, I think the stairs should be on the other side. Other than that it looks awesome.

Really cool! I love the old Spyro games. Can you do more Spyro stuff?

Thats very cool!!
and OMG I love how you draw Spyro!! *w*

This is pretty awesome! I have the game myself and everything around it looks so neat, especially the water.
It's pretty accurate to me since Spyro here is looking back at the place where he first got the pick ax talisman.
