Description
Hello!So yep, I've been drawing this dude! It's the first time I'm drawing him. I did something a bit in my style, hope you like it that way. ^^
It took some time but anyway. ^^
Zoom in for more details!
What are your thoughts about that? I'ld gladly get some criticism, negative or positive.
Fully made with Photoshop.
Challenge accomplished, right?
Special thanks to who spotted little things that I was not seeing!

Thank you for your opinion on my work!!
I really appreciate that.
Concerning the fish.. I heard that Spyro eats frogs rather than fishes but I thought that a fish would be nice (that changes a little, as meal) x)

No problem! I saw a friend do it, and if I see anything that has to do with dragons that I didn't get a chance to fave yet, then I'm going to write the heck out of it |D
I didn't know Spyro ate at all, actually |D
he kills frogs, a butterfly pops out, and Sparx eats the butterfly, and Spyro is better XDDD
thats why I love the original games
according to Skylanders, Spyro no longer needs Sparx, and he eats Pizza, Ice Cream, etc XD

I sticked to the "Classic" version, andΒ never played Skylanders, but dude, that looks fucked up! (sorry for the words) xD

Classic is so much more unique... I dunno |D The dumb thing about Skylanders is that it's supposed to take place _after_ SPYRO meets, befriends, and frees Cinder, but they're all tiny again |D

Oh yeah that's strange! xD
And I totally agree, and the design was better too, in my opinion!

well. The bright side to Skylanders using Spyro is that 1. he's SPYRO 2. SO MANY DRAGONS 0W0

Wow! This is an amazing drawing/painting of Spyro The Dragon! The fish is cute and securely dead in his jaws and the face says it all "I am Spyro!" This amazingly cute dragon is one of the best drawings yet!! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b⦠" width="15" height="15" alt="

I would think that you could do a little more improvements. Maybe add a little bloodstains to the teeth telling that he caught a fish. Make the shadow darker and a little clearer, after all, shadows ARE us but black, right? (Sorry if this offended you)
But after all, yes, challenged accomplished! well done for giving it your best! I bet some years later you will make another one and you will shine your light out at the world! You are a good artist! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b⦠" width="15" height="15" alt="

Thanks for your opinion on my work
Concerning the shadows, sorry but I don't think it needs to be darker, I've made some tests with a darker shadow and it was not looking good (Spyro's color are quite light colors, so the global illumination does something on the character, plus the skin reflects a bit light. Also there's a rule while shading a character/object : Depending of the "ground" color, the projected shadow can not be darker than the own shadow (the shadow which is on the character), even more when the "ground" is colored with a light colors : it reflects more light)
Concerning the blood.. That's true, I could have put some blood on his teeth, but well the dragon talks by himslef, the fish too, so I don't think that the blood is really needed. Plus that would have been less cute and makes Spyro looking like a psychopath, with a pose like that one. xD
No worries, I'm asking for critiques so you can't offend me, excepted if the critique is meant to be mean, but that's not the case, so no worries.

Alright thats ok, after all they were just opinions, and glad you said about how you couldn't put those on. I understand now, and it's a pleasure

Oh, the memories...
No but really, you did a fantastic job at doing Spyros outside while getting a good portion of his personality. In terms of composition, the head instantly gets my attention, which it should. It's also a nice detail with the fish, as it helps make sure people see his adorable face first. The shadows are GREAT! I can definitely tell that you are getting better as time goes by, this is in terms of your shadows, hand-painted textures, Coloring, Reflections, and generally detail. It's also really satisfying to look at his belly, do to it actually looking like a dragon belly, not some random Cat attending DragonCon. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/let⦠" width="15" height="15" alt="
" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="395" title="
(Lick)"/> Honestly, nearly everything positive I had to ssay about you baby dragon, applies here too... Except you did an even better job at this little guy.
And yes... Challenge accomplished!

Oh, and BTW: This background style is great! It doesn't steal the attention, nor does it drown the viewer in similar colors.

Thanks Dan! I still need to get on working on backgrounds. I take for ever to do them (that's why I generally do something as simple as that one).

Omg Childhooood ahah :,D
Il est vraiment adorable, la pose est très réussie ainsi que les textures.
Si je devais faire une remarque ce serai par rapport a son "Γ©paule" gauche -celle de l'aile- ; je pense qu''elle ne serait pas visible dans cette perspective.
Mis a part ca c'est un très bon dessin x) good job!

Merci beaucoup!
Mmh, tu as raison, en fait elle serait visible, mais juste le bout! Effectivement, je n'avais pas vu Γ§a avant ta remarque. Merci pour la petite critique je ferai plus attention la prochaine fois.
