he's really coming along, great job! OMG i LOVE those scales and the wings!
do you mind if i make a small suggestion though? for the horns, you can make a cloud texture in blender, turn the colour influence off and the normal on (normally around 0.05 to 0.1 works best, but my models i use this method for are very small) then change the mapping from generated to reflection and it creates an good horn effect like Cynder's horns in these pics: [link]

WOW. I'm just stunned. Spyro looks absolutely incredible. The scales look amazing and the colors are great too. I truly see this project coming together. Are you still interested in texturing Evelon Houndu for CotBF?

well okay but when his model is fully constructed and you then when you have time, will you?

...
Ok got a few things to point out(constructive 
Use subsurface scattering, he looks too plasticy (if that's a word). Also, why is his skin so shiny? It seems as if your using normal maps/ bump maps for the skin, if you are, don't. They do NOT affect the shadows and specularity so your better off with a displacement modifier and/or sculpting. Another thing, although you probably already know this, his nose is waaay to flat. I hope you understand my intentions, they are not to bash your work, but to help you make it better

I literally do not have the original sculpt. it's gone/saved over. and likely not recoverable.
it took 40 minutes to render a single frame with the sculpt and scorched my [cheap/fake] desk in the progress while it was rendering.
I think it was just over 3 million polys.
I was fed up with it so I baked the map and went on with my life.
my computer and my room(and my life) are worth far more to me than one file.
................................
anyway
You are right about the subsurface scattering. I need to figure out how to do that properly. I don't know too much about materials but I am learning as time goes by.
and as for the nose being flat what do you mean by 'too flat'
do you mean the front of the nose(which is one of the character's defining characteristics) or the top?

I mean its too cubic. The edges are way too sharp and it makes the character look weird.

is this for some kind of a project or something? Either way, apart from the eyes, he's looking pretty damn good!

yep. it's for a recreation of the legend of spyro games in movie format.

wait...you're gonna attempt to make the Spyro movie that was cancelled?

our current progress on the script is located here:

I'm currently the main writer. I haven't had much time to write because of other work.
If you are interested in helping with the writing I could send you the approximate plot and you could continue on from when I left off.

I'd be glad to help if I could but, just a few things:
1. I tend to procrastinate...a lot...so just keep that in mind
2. Are you trying to follow the dialouge and movements STRICTLY the same as the game? Or is a bit of paraphrasing or rephrasing allowed?
3. This is just my personal recommendation but I think it would be better to bold names rather than all caps, cuz every time I read the caps I was reading it like, IGNITUS (Shouting) turned to look at VOLTEER (Shouting) so...yea. that's just something personal though

1. deadline: this summer. I want the script done but haven't really had time to work on it.
2. yep reinterpretation and paraphrasing is definitely allowed and if it is for character development encouraged as with what I've been attempting with ignitus thus far with having a side story of him overcoming his survivor guilt.
3.
It's not possible to bold names in .txt files which is pretty much the only text file DeviantArt will let me upload.
also in scripts names are always in all caps
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
1. That's a bit hard for me then sadly. I recently got a summer job that will be taking quite a bit of my time.
2. His survivor guilt?
3. idk, maybe it's the font. I've read scripts before and never felt like screaming the names. And yes, you can bold names on DA, I've done it in tons of my written entries. You just type < b > words < /b > without the spaces.

1. I'll write a bit and if you feel like contributing bits and pieces I would appreciate the help greatly.
2.
In the game it is strongly hinted that ignitus feels very badly about the fact that the temple was invaded and he was unable to save the rest of the eggs as well as volteer who he saw knocked unconcious on the temple floor surrounded by apes and crushed eggshells.
I would assume he left and hid himself out of shock as it is highly suggested that the guardians watched over eggs in times of piece as well as strife and served as mentors to the young. to see himself fail in that defensive role would be terrifying even with Ignitus's stoic behavior hints are seen in A New beginning and dawn of the dragon that failing to protect spyyro and cynder hurt Ingitus very badly.
this is also revealed in one of the cut side-quests in a new beginning to find Ignitus's war-helm and lance to convince him to stand and fight.
That really should be conveyed along with giving the guardians greater roles in the work as well as the expansion of their personalities and backgrounds.
I'll try to post more tidbits on my visualization of the LOS universe in a journal entry later judging from clues suggested in the game by design and in-game dialogue.
3. I thought that was only for HTML files not .txt files but I'll try that.

1. I can try to when I get time.
2. Ah...never thought about it that way and...ANB was supposed to have side-quests? either way, cool! Mind if I tell you my presonal Fanon for how the Chronicler's job works? even if you don't put it in I just like sharing it.
3. hope it works!

2. side story that I found from a concept art blog by one of the artists working on it
also go ahead! would enjoy hearing your theory about the chronicler

2. cooool.
Well basically, it seems to me that it's kinda a boring and not that awesome job to simply JUST write down what happens, so well...in my mind, the Chronicler controls Time itself, like as an element and everything. They control past, present, and future. They can erase and rewrite things in the books to change history itself it they so please, but since the Chronicler works under the Ancestors they actually set rules as to where they are not supposed to do that unless ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. There's a lot more details but that's the basics of it (like how I believe there is also the Seer, for Space, and Harmonizer, for Void)

It looks wonderfully! Best wings, the colors look as if they he was real. Eyes they look just so strangely XD, but overall this is a good model of Spyro.
+vaf.
