#Spyro and Ember

[almightyhamslice]

“Good work, Spyro. Use the stones to get to the Dojo. Remember Spyro, find the dragonflies before Ripto.”

Spyro begins his journey to find the missing dragonflies. He is off to Dragonfly Dojo, guided by the ferryman, Miyagi. Though... neither of them have any idea what’s happened to the other dragon elders at the dojo while they were gone. 

Their little orange and pink friend here is Ember (like from A Hero’s Tail! except not rlly); she tags along with Spyro because she’s completely lost in the Dragon Realms, and Spyro is the only person she can recognize... Though, Spyro does not recognize her. Miyagi suggests that Ember has amnesia, but Ember assures them both that she can remember everything QUITE clearly, it just all changed suddenly, leaving her behind. Enchanted Forest? Cutthroat Cove? Baked Alaska? Gnorcs?! None of it makes any sense to Spyro. Even so, Ember clearly needs his help, so he lets her follow him around. Besides, two dragons are better than one, right?

.... ok so I will admit I have been INCREDIBLY hyperfixated on Spyro: Enter The Dragonfly ever since I watched Mr. FO1′s documentary abt it LOL. I suppose I like it for the same reason a lot of people liked Crash Twinsanity-- there is a vast amount of cut content from the game and it’s RLLY interesting to me! So I think I might make a habit of drawing these ‘Spyro and Ember’ illustrations depicting ETD’s gameplay/world in... unconventional ways. I am also considering adding Flame from A Hero’s Tale to this story as well, but I feel like he has no reason to be here-- Ember was originally designed for ETD, Flame was not. But I find Flame interesting because he was redesigned to be more generic, just like Ember was. What would he have been like if they didn’t dumb him down like that?? Perhaps I can explore that...

Ember and Miyagi’s designs are ‘personalized’ in a way-- I wanted Ember to be orange like she was originally supposed to be, but the feathery wings, dark horns, and spots are all just stuff I added bc I thought it’d be cool. Miyagi, on the other hand, has a unique design because I wanted to differentiate him from Chow and Patton. Chow is probably the leader of Dragonfly Dojo because you meet him last, but Miyagi is the only dragon you can find in the hubworld... so I wanted him to feel kind of authoritative and wise, because Spyro was originally supposed to take runes to the dragon elders so they’d help him use them iirc. So I thought, hey, what if Miyagi knew about the runes? So as such with his more integral role in the story, he has the most dramatically different design. I like to think he, Chow, and Patton are brothers.

I am pretty excited abt this little ‘project’ of mine but I will admit. I am rlly NOT excited for whenever they get to Crop Circle Country because I dONT want to draw the fucky looking human npcs lol!! HELP? They are so freaky I dont like them

In the OG games, Spyro seems to be the only one born in his year of the dragon... so I guess the rest of the crew (and Ember) only showed up 12 years later? Could be interesting.

Oh, and Ember too

[twigg27]

obligatory spyro verse drawing from yesterday.

i forgot how to draw legs for ember and cynder, i'm not kidding

[herakidpatrol]

Headcanon! Spyro and Cynder are both socially awkward with other dragons their age, due to the fact they live away from other Dragon societies besides the Guardians. So I imagine them having no idea what to say to their fans.

Flame: Hi! It’s so nice to meet you!

Ember: You guys saved the world! You’re heroes!

Spyro & Cynder: 😳Umm… you’re welcome.

Commissions are open! Share this around if you can, I've been needing to get into some work seeing as I have none atm!

[almightyhamslice]

Enter: Flame! a third party memeber for this team... he is older than spyro, and is found in the dojo! He seems out of place, but he doesn’t know that n thinks nothing is wrong. He tags along w/ Spyro and Ember in order to find his dragonfly. After that, he think’s he’ll ditch them.

Flame is normally blue with a purple mane, but can turn red with a yellow mane when he becomes angry! chameleonic, almost...
