An interview with one of our lovely book artists!

First, why don’t you tell us a bit about yourself as an artist? What do you mostly specialize in (ex: comics, illustrations, etc)? What are your favorite things to draw?

I'm Zhampy and i'm also known as SquareHeart, but please call me Zham! I like to do cute and colourful things, a lot of furry stuff and chibis! Right now i'm very invested in making merch and running a small shop. I've worked on a few zines before but this will be the first Spyro one!

When did you first play Spyro the Dragon and what were your feelings about it at the time? How does it make you feel now?

Spyro was one of the first games i really remember playing by myself. Gateway to Glimmer was also the first videogame i ever paid for with my own money, haha. I still have the CD album that came with the game. I'm still playing my original PS1 discs to this day!

Would you say Spyro has influenced your style today and if it has, how so?

Definitely the fantasy aspects and colours have influenced me. Particularly the first game. As a kid i even remember designing my own game that was basically just a copy of Spyro but with hamsters instead, ahaha.

What are your favorites from the series? Such as level, character, song, and overall favorite game?

The first game is my favourite overall! The music, level design and worldbuilding. Fav song is Wild Flight. Fav level is Mystic Marsh but i also really like the Dream Weavers homeworld, and my favourite character is actually Sgt.Byrd. I've always been a sucker for James Bond parodies.

Other comments or thoughts about the zine or Spyro?

I want to say thank you for accepting me and i'm very excited to see all the contributions! I'll be working hard too!
