"When we meet the enemy, you will rip their skulls from their spines, and toss 'em away, laughin'!" Sgt Johnson, Halo

Agh! My fingers! MAJOR carpel tunnel. I shouldn't have been sitting on my ass so long. Anways, here it is, the reference sheet for Spyro and Cynder, Redeemer style. LEts see, I need to thank for her awesome Cynder lineart, as it helped a great deal. Surprisingly, creating new characters off of old characters is a lot more difficult than it sounds. Anyways, I didn't use the lineart COMPLETELY, as in the original, she looked way to old, so I basically used it as a guideline, mainly on her paw. What else? OH! Cloth instead of bracelets, my idea. What else? I took some design ques off of Malefor, as I figured that Spyro would start looking like him eventually. What else? Image is to scale, yada yada. I'm really proud of Spyro's eyes, those came out better than I expected.

Edit: I have had some issues with people telling me that Cynder is in fact a Black dragon instead of a purple one. While in the storyline, she is indeed a black dragon, her powers are equivalent to that of Spyro. Not only that, but in the game, Dawn of the Dragon, her skin color was in fact a very dark purple. Those two in combination makes her, in MY opinion to be a purple dragon, and not simply some common shadow dragon. Say your opinions, that's what they are, but don't tell me I'm wrong and that I should change it, because I won't.

I tend to agree with you here. Cynder is only a Shadow Dragon due to her long exposure to Malefor's magical influences, and I did notice she had dark purple scales in DotD, which is the first LOS game I played. In my personal and somewhat professional opinion, Cynder was in fact a Purple Dragon, but Malefor's influence blackened her scales. The lack of contact with Malefor allowed her scales to attain some, if not all, of their original color. Overall, Cynder is unique in many ways, and may still yet have powers unknown to even herself.

This is simply amazing artwork. Just the pix by themselves is stunning enough. But throw in the bios and I am very convinced of your ability with this sort of thing.

I will look at this one a LOT as I write my Spyro/Halo fanfiction. Speaking of which, you wouldn't happen know of any good Master Chief/Arbiter references like this one, would you?

Heh, I highly doubt you'll have an issue finding good images of John.

Also, if I remember right, this one wasn't all me, the cynder ref was done by someone else, and I just adapted it to the ref, with thier permission of course.

I honestly don't do much spyro art anymore. Dragons, yes, Spyro, no.

You know what, they've already got a name for violet, you know what it is? PURPLE! DEAL WITH IT. She was fucking purple in the games, everyone portrays her as purple, so guess what? She's purple. I KNOW SHE'S CALLED BLACK, for fucks sake, I've played the damn game! SEVERAL TIMES ACTUALLY! It's my fucking reference, and my fucking fanfiction. Don't like it, we'll you can FUCK OFF!

I'm sorry about my mild explosion yesterday, I had a somewhat mild existential crysis and was wondering why I was replying too dirtbags on other parts of the website. Thank you for your advice, but I'd appreciate too keep it this way. Also, it doesn't make much difference too me anymore, since the next part of my story doesn't even have them in it.

good on you. no art - im serious - NO art i have seen yet has continued the 'purple' on Cynder through to her adulthood. and yes, she IS a Purple Dragon, and through extremely magical circumtances now has Spyro's Elements and visa versa. Plus Water, coz Malefor had that as one of his Elements.
All will be explained in my fan fiction.
And aren't they only fifteen in DotD?

Yeah, it was inspired by Malefor's tail blade. I figured that Spyro was a purple dragon, just like Malefor, so he should look a lot like Malefor.

I think that Cynder in TloS:The eternal night is more gray than black.But when you fight her in ANB she is kinda purple so is her adult form concept art in TEN art gallery.She is dark purple in DoTD.So my opinion is that she is somehow purple!I more like her as dark purple like she is in DoTD.

Ddraigtanto [2011-06-22 19:48:55 +0000 UTC]

I actually think Cynder was ONCE a balck dragon, but her relationship with Spyro, alongside various other things has caused a mutation in her genes...

Here's the sciency-magicy theory bit: When Spyro and Cynder fell in love, a strong amount of Purple dragon magic; everytime they kiss, get close or 'other' acts of affection, trace amounts of Spyro's ginetic material come into contact with Cynder, or enter her blood supply; now, in most dragons, this would have no effect. But with Spyro and Cynder, as no purple dragon has fallen in love with a non-purple before, the bonds have caused Spyro to, unintentionally, mutated Cynder's Ginetic makeup, adding a single, purple dragon, genome, a dominante genome, allowing her to control four elements, and be as powerful as Spyro. However, the black dragon genome is also a dominant one; because of this, rather than turning completly purple, Cynder's scales take a VERY dark purple colour.

Hope that isn't too geeky.

Insane-Randomness In reply to Ddraigtanto [2011-06-23 14:57:16 +0000 UTC]

It is too geeky, but it is a good theory. I simply thought that since they were in the same clutch, Cynder (and probably all the other eggs that were in that clutch but got destroyed) was simply affected by being in such close poximity to a purple dragon.

I think many people have many theories about it. I'm open minded; until somebody can provide one that's definate, its anyone's guess.
