Description
MORE RANDOM SPYRO STUFF!!!So if I were to reboot the Spyro series (like Legend of Spyro and Skylanders rebooted Classic Spyro) these are the sort of nifty ideas I'd throw around.
Here Spyro is wingless. The golden sigil on his shoulder is magical, and he is linked with Sparx, who gives him the ability to fly and breathe fire (combining the link they had in the earlier games with the 'oooo epic magic wooooo' of Legend of'). I have an animation of how health works with Sparx colours stashed away for when I finish a few other animations
So, this 'fan game' (which'll never happen) takes place in the Light Realms and the Shadow Realms.
Here we see the 3 main Light Realms;
Spyro, a young Guardian under the guidance of Ignitus, the Elder Guardian, starts his adventure in Dragon Shrines when the hatchling dragon he was supposed to guard, Flame, is kidnapped by sinister forces. The same sinister forces stole some scrolls and extinguished some lamps, so obviously collection quests and using Spyro's fire breath will be part of the gameplay.
The Guardian Temple is where Sacred Dragonfly Pools are kept, and unhatched dragon eggs, and the Scrolls of Knowledge; not the ideal place to be raided by sinister forces!
The largest buildings in the Beast Maker village contain, of all things, sheep and butterflies. There is a large netted area that forms a butterfly house, where the dragons collect caterpillars which they then feed to livestock. This is because 'fodder' animals need to be both nutritious for dragons and their companion dragonflies (I'm using a quirk from the classic games - that fodder animals contain magical butterflies - to do some world building here).
Also I'm bringing back Bubble Breath from Enter the Dragonfly; Beast Maker dragons have a special stone that gives them Bubble Breath that they use to capture escaped butterflies.
The sinister forces came to Butterfly Swamps and ripped the netting of the butterfly house, let some sheep loose, stole some rare butterfly-friendly flowers and generally made a mess of the place. A purple dragon will have to solve this.
(May dump some Skylander cameos on this level - - although I know very little about Skylanders. There's a fish dude, right?)
The animal village (will get a better name) is home to characters such as Hunter the Cheetah (who will challenge Spyro to race him), Sheila the Kangaroo (who has beef with the Peace Keeper Dragons) as well as other characters. They have a well which provides them with water, but the calabashes that everyone uses for handy water storage have been stolen by (lucky guess) sinister forces, so another collection quest is needed.
Also I'm gonna have some random tall giraffe npcs wondering peacefully over the landscape because giraffes are cool.
So in the Light Realms we have 3 collection quests (scrolls, flowers and calabashes), some other good challenges, and a diversity of environments (very wet, very dry, and um... forest?)
What does Northwyrm have planned for the Dark Realms? Does she have all your favourite characters in her fangame plan yet? Who knows?

Thank you very much! I did the animation seperately to the very very rushed backgrounds XD

You're welcome! That's pretty cool. Are you studying to be an animator?

I am not, alas. I'm studying zoology at the moment (four exams and then I've finished university!) and then later I can study paleontology. I am very much an animal nerd rather than an art nerd, but I indulge in art as a hobby (even when I should be studying for my finals!).
Zoology gives me a good knowledge of anatomy, which helps a lot.
This particular run cycle was based on one from the Spyro Reignited Trilogy trailer!

Ah cool! I'm an animal nerd myself kind of. I'm studying graphics design and animation. Good luck on your exams!

Nice work. But why do it look like Spyro has a mustache?

Because he sort of does! I'm redesigning him as a more eastern dragon, so he has whiskers! Trendy, eh?
