"...Every so often, there comes a time in our lives when we feel we're not meant for the role we play.
Someone who had always been built up to be the hero, someone who was a messiah since before they were born, having been pressurized by a group of guardians he didn't even know....he basically just took their word for it like so:
Ignitus: YOU'RE THE MESSIAH!!!!
"But all in all, there really was something behind it all that just made him snap. The fact that other purple dragons had fallen between the time of he and the Dark Master, the fact that he was NEVER told he was truly a dragon of great power, the fact that HE was the one set out to risk his life while the older, experienced warriors expected so much from him...."
"There's only one thing I can say as of now. I'm sorry."
"So....sooo sorry."

At first, this WAS meant as vent art. It's a little tedious to explain, and it's hard to vent without sounding like an emo chick.
It's been one thing after another for MONTHS now, and I was pushed and PUSHED to the verge of completely giving everything up. It's mostly been centered around motivation; I just lost the will to create, to draw, to move foward, and what's worse is that I feel COMPELLED to constantly force myself to look happy when I'm just trying to avoid pity. And because my parents by no means have any understanding of what the internet is like and why it matters, it was something I had to face by myself.
Also, I kinda needed a sappy excuse to draw Malefor. Don't judge me.
USED: a grain of sand......YES.
Spyro and the Magnificent Malefor belong to Activision
ARTWACK BELONGS 2 ME AND IF U STEEL I WILL CUT YER TOENAIL!!!!!!!!!! >;U

"But all in all, there really was something behind it all that just made him snap" youre not the only one to realize this ""but to suddenly be thrust into war, i can imagine it would weigh on him from time to time" even though it's not true (sorry if this came off rude)

Oh, this is a very good picture! : D
I really like the way how Malefor looks kinda shadow-y!
With that bloby bubbles around him and his partly transparent wings! It looks so cool!
And that background behind him! Woah!
Did you use any textures or was the background fully self-made?
It has a bit of "painting"-likeness on it, cloudy, smokey, mysterious!
The change from malefor to background is sharp, but not glitchy, it's perfect!
(with glitchy i mean when the combination of lines and colors make it look like "classic"-ms paint'.)
If you zoom in on the far right of malefors wings or a bit on spyro, there you can see a few pixels with a brighter purple-pinkish colour. (depending on screen settings)
They make the picture "deeper", but overusing them would be "glitchy" if they are too many pixels far. That's what i meant.
BUuut: In this case it's just few pixels, and it actually looks good : D
So it's perfect! I just wanted to point out what i mean so i don't look like i'm randomly running around screaming "PIXELS".
(I normally scream other words when i'm randomly running around)
Back to the picture!
Most of the viewer's attention (at least mine xD) goes to Malefor in this one.
It's easy to notice spyro! But Malefor has a bigger presence in this picture.
This is just my note. It can be that it was what you wanted!
Spyro is looking very great too!
It looks like you used some special brushes to colour him, that gives it a unique feeling to look at his face!
Especially with that gorgues facial expression! (gorgues.. goergues. arg.. my english xD i meant "gorgeous")
The quality of coloring is very great in this picture!
It's a really great picture! I certainly enjoyed devouring it with my mind : D
Great work!

AHHHHG *dances on your comment*
Yes, it's a texture brush that makes a bit of a cloudy texture, because my normal way of drawing clouds resembles that of flattened marshmallows
Ahh I get what you're saying, the really simplified look of MS Paint where the colors sharply change and are sorta boxy. XD I wanted Malefor's outline to be clear because he's not just a shadow, it's his physical form. Plus he's the main focus of the picture and Spyro is hidden away in some sort of twisted idea I had where he gives up and lets the world collapse.
Thank you SO MUCH! And now your mind is full of nutrients and unsaturated fats. :3

A wild Spyro you say?......>3>....Did you offer him a cinnamon snack? Wild Spyros are always intrigued by the gift of cinnamon.

I always kind of figured Spyro, if he had any brains at all (and he kind of doesn't in LoS) would not take finding out he's a messiah figure so well.
As for the rest... You can always vent in my general direction if it will help.

A7XSparx In reply to confiscatedretina [2013-12-15 17:31:03 +0000 UTC]
It said that Spyro is veeerry naïve and it's a bit believable with someone his age. However I always thought it would have been cool if Spyro played along with Ignitus for like, 5 minutes, and then when he turned his head him and Sparx would just make a RUN for it XD Were it not for your voice of reason all the time, I would be a lunatic. :3 Still am, but WAY, WAY worse.
I just decided to drop all of the last few weeks and start fresh.
FRESH AS A WEE POTATO. Thank you Razz
