Description
I cannot even express how excited I am to share this with all of you guys! For my class, Advanced Graphic Design, we were supposed to redesign a product's packaging/appearance/logo. But instead of "redesigning," I asked my professor if I could create the cover for a potential remastered trilogy of the Spyro the Dragon series. Let's face it... We all wish that there was a game like this. Sure, you can get the original Spyro games from the PlayStation Network, but don't you all wish there was an official cover with a blu-ray disc that contained all the remastered versions of the games? Yeah. That's what I thought.So here it is! I used my "Eye of the Dragon" graphite drawing with some photoshopped hues to give it more intensity and pop for the cover.
..... SPYRO IS AMAZING AND I LOVE HIM SO MUCH!!!!!!! >.<
I really hope you guys enjoy this as much as I did making it. If you would like a download so you can use it as a cover, please message me. I've always been very wary about letting people use my stuff as I'm never sure where it's going... So please give me the credit where credit is due. Thanks so much!!!
Edit: I apologize for having to lower the scale and put a watermark on. Someone has stolen this and is trying to sell it as their own. If you see this listing on eBay and Etsy, please report them

Hmm... I can't really remember. I'm sure Wikipedia would know about that exact date XDD But i completely agree. Some minigames were fun, but some were really hard to control the characters. Sheila was sometimes difficult along with working with how slow Bentley was... I was alright with Agent 99 and Sgt. Byrd though, i suppose

VERY nice except for how the logo is front of the PS3 label on top and the choice of using the Legend of Spyro logo to represent classic Spyro.
While I LOVE the games the way they are on the PS3, new next-gen/HD graphics for the likes of Spyro would be very ideal with the amount of bright colours, making an investment in a HDTV.

I initially had it below the PS3 band, but my professor thought it would be more dynamic if it was bigger and in front so that it would another layer. I kind of like it because it does just that. it pops out
as for the font, I do realize the choice. Here were my thoughts... even though we all know the Spyro from when we were younger and the fonts associated and such... Spyro has grown. He is different from what we first played. And while we want his original to come back, there is no denying his later versions. I liked the font better also because it went along with my darker theme that i was trying to present. Let's face it. Nowadays, kids and people in general are getting into darker games. The artwork on games such as Dragon Age, BioShock, Jack and Daxter, etc are all darker themed and kids are buying these. I wanted this cover to target the audience of Spyro's younger years (so our age) along with the kids nowadays because of its content (since they are drawn to something more edgy). That is honestly the reason why I stuck with that font
And Spyro in HD would take a LOT of time, no doubt, but, you're right. it would be beautiful with all it's colors. Thank you so much for the comment!

Your very welcome. This kind of stuff reminds me why I love video games in the first place.
I respect what your professor told you but I can imagine it wouldn't be easy to convince executives experiment with their band like that though I might carry that on board. Thanks.

Haha! Yes.. Gotta love them
I completely understand XD Art professors are thinking more creatively and openly than a business executive would XD but that is the thing about graphic designers... we have to learn to make the people we're making it for happy even when what they want sucks haha

Yeah, I wish they get rid of Skylanders (or take Spyro out of it), give the rights back to Insomniac Games, and ressurect the Spyro we all know and love.

Hahaa!! I COMPLETELY agree. I really have this burning hate towards Skylanders. every time i go to a game store and i hear some kids talking about skylanders, my boyfriend has to keep me back before i lash out cause i am SO against it XDDD
and it's also funny cause in my presentation to my class, i talked about the generation of Spyro and purposefully left out Skylanders, letting everyone in the class know that I didn't want to discuss it cause it made me angry and didn't count XD

I know, right?
I've got two Spyro fics in the making. One has two chapters already published. It's a crossover of the legend of Spyro series and the Fable games.
I'm also working on a fic based on the original games. It's a semi-novel and my OC is a human raised by a Magic Crafter dragon and is one of Spyro's best friends. (ALso, she's a real witch-in-training.)

legend of Spyro and fable sounds like a very interesting combination... like it would totally work, but that's neat that you put those two together

holy wow. i got way excited there going through my deviation folder and went "HOLD THE FREAKIN PHONE THEY'RE FINALLY REMASTERING IT"
but then this- and even though they didn't do it, this looks oh so amazing as it is. fantastic job! (you better have gotten an A or the teacher's a bum)
(and, can you imagine how these games would look with an all new graphic set in the old design? wooooow dang.)

Hahah! that's how I felt when I was doing my research and someone else had made a cover for a would-be Spyro trilogy. I was like "WHAT THE!!!! DID I FRIGGIN MISS SOMETHING?!?!" and then realized it was just an artistic piece. LOL!
I hope I get an A! I don't actually know yet. I put this on deviantart RIGHT as i finished it cause I was so happy and so excited to share it!!! when i mock it up in a real PS3 case and hand it in, then i'll know XDDD
But thank you so much for the compliment!!!

AWWW!!! sad day!!! i believe on the PS3 network, you can buy the digital versions of the Spyro games. They should have them in the store from what i've heard. I'm assuming you don't have a backwards compatible PS3?

that's too bad... is it because they are far away and may be busy or you guys see each other but don't talk much?
maybe you should go see if you can get someone to fix it. Game Stop perhaps?

that's awesome! that sounds similar to what happened to me actually! i had a church that i grew up in and it suddenly had some issues in the behind the scenes so my family moved and looked for new churches. i knew my best friend went to this one and i said we should try it and now my family loves it! don't be afraid to try new things! i mean... as long as they coincide with your belief systems XD
