Alright, finally writing a comment for this. XD
Honestly I don't what what to say! This has gotta be one of your best works, and definitely one of my favourites. 
Spyro and Cynder look amazing, and I really appreciate you working with my strange ideas. Some things weren't quite exactly as I'd have them in my head (like, Spyro's gonna have a hard time hiding his scales I think XD) but it makes me think more about the realism of it. And you definitely made it work in your style. XD I really like Cyn's wheelchair design, there's a lot of little things I didn't think about like bags and a blanket and whatnot. (Spoilers for future Channeler chapters beyond this point.) I was actually going to have her learn to walk and ditch the thing early on but... now I like it too much. I have no idea how Spyro is going to stuff her down a ladder and into a cave when they escape Warfang, but I'll figure it out. XD
Oh, and they look amazing of course, the colours are perfect and I adore Cynder's scales in particular for some reason XDD
The scene and the effects are probably the best part. I dunno how you do it. But the lighting and the colour in the background and the fireflies and the fog and the reflections and the stars... It all just ties it together. I'm out of things to say now, but, thank you so much for this.

OOOooooooooo, this is so pretty, I can't look away from it.Β Β
The colour and the poses are really nice and the subject is just so magical. How did Toodles even come up with this, and how are you so good at portraying ideas. I love how detailed your wings are coming along. I can never figure out what to do with them, but these look splendid.Β
Can I ask why Cynder is riding in a wagon, why Spyro is wearing a cape, What's in those bags on Cynder's wagon, what are they doing looking into this pool, and what is the story behind this?

Alright, I've already directed you to The Channeler Β offsite (yes, shamelessly plugging my work)Β but I'll answer here in case anyone else is curious. XD
In this world, purple dragons are known as Channelers, and are a fair bit more abundant than they are in normal TLOS. However, they are stigmatized due to their powers and thanks to Malefor, so they're usually killed at birth or sent to what is essentially a concentration camp for purple dragons. Spyro lives in secret at an orphanage in Warfang, but he still goes out often, so he wears a robe to cover his purple scales.
Cynder Blackburn is the daughter of a wealthy baron and baroness, but she has a degenerative disease called Aurus that will slowly weaken and kill her until her 15th birthday, when it finally runs its course. The older she gets and the more powerful magically she becomes, the further the disease progresses -- around 15 is when a dragon's "aura" kicks in, when their magic can no longer be fully contained in their body, and Aurus will kill its host. Being nearly 15, she's weakened enough that she has to use a special dragony wheelchair to get around. (And thanks to Gold for designing such a strange thing XDDD) In this world (in most of my worlds, actually), dragons can use neutral spells (non-breath) as well as spells tied to their element. Telekinesis is neutral, so Cynder just pushes herself around.
As for the pool... Well it's probably spoilers, but this is Blackburn Reserve and they're meeting in secret there. There's not a lot of "point" to this picture (in my head anyway) but they're just kinda there together. XD
Cynder's bags, I dunno what's in them exactly, Gold is the one who came up with them. xD I imagine snacks, a book, and other such practical things.
OK, loredump ending. I hope it helped. XD
