To explain it as short as possible, I began reading this Spyro fan fiction on FF.net, and I got hooked (even though there's quite a bit of romance and stuff). All of a sudden I began having weird ideas and thoughts of my character getting sucked into the world, and...yeah, this happened.

Image
Basically, this is the ideas I had for the design. It's not yet complete, but I'm thinking of revising a few things, such as the attacks on the side. Didn't really intended to go a bit "Retro Spyro" on the character a bit, but I'll work that out later.

Image
(By the way, I know I messed up the metal horn guards on the light version.)
A practice at drawing mugshots, but I also tried to draw a dark version of Jay. Oh and by the way, I didn't use Sharpie Markers here this time, but a pen called "Precise V5 Rolling Ball," which is an extra fine pen. It's great, since it doesn't bleed. Problem though, it does smear if you don't let it dry sometimes.

I might continuing drawing Spyro pictures if inspiration is high enough. I do plan to draw a full body picture as well in the future once I practice drawing a Dragon's body (especially a small one). For now, this is what I got. I'm looking for opinions, ideas, whatever you guys think would work.

Oh, and the fan fiction is called "The Legend of Spyro: Age of Heroes," but you kind of have to know the events of the game to understand everything.

C & C Please!

Thanks though.

In the second picture, yeah. Basically Jay's light side (normal) and Jay's dark side (corrupt). Spyro has something similar in "The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night" and "Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon."

If you want to try, go for it.
