Description
Ah! My favorite Guardian, right here!
I had a lot of fun figuring out the lighting and shadows in this one. The sun isn't quite peeking up yet, but I thought this was the perfect background for him.
Whenever I've seen the sun rising, there has always been this very peaceful, tranquil moment before it actually happens, and I thought it fit perfectly with his character. I just want to give him a big hug! I love him so much!

Every time I see these dragons I become more and more curious about the actual story. There's something deep and thoughtful about this dragon. Something probably very heavy or at least very present on his mind -see this is how well you draw. You tell a story without words and that is powerful. I have the feeling I would like this guy's story.
I really love the detail you put into the dragons, not just the markings although those are cool, but the fades and shadows of color. This one has a definite light source and I really like his coloring.
(Random fun fact: When I leaned back the screen the details became more refined and defined, and the lighting became epic! People look at it again! Seriously!)
I was going to give you another nudge on the background and some of the lighting, but after I tilted my screen like that - it was an accident that turned awesome. I realized you have artistic vision! (This should be a superpower.) The minor details added so much into it. So I'm just going to say lighting. But I love the original version - non-tilted - you can see the colors and details so much better.
Keep drawing, Fyredragon5! You've got a gift and don't let anyone tell you otherwise! Not even nit-pickers! You're amazing!
I don't know what convinced this dragon to get up at dawn to think - maybe he was up all night. My only concern is the color of the sky. It's beautiful, but a tad ominous. After all: Red in the morning, sailors take warning.
Beautiful. No, Masterful. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/c/c… " width="20" height="20" alt="

I think this is a great piece of art. FyreDragon5 has drawn Ignitus masterfully, not one detail out of place. He even remember the markings (which some people overlook). I also like the setting, a sun rising over the mountain. It is hopeful that the terrible war is over and that all the death is over with his final sacrifice. I believe that the artist has portrayed hope and a bright future in this drawing. It really gives one a warm felling in their hearts. I hope the artist continues to draw great artworks like this. An excellent job, FyreDragon5.

I have to say that you've done an excellent job in choosing the perfect backgrounds for these characters! It fits them so wonderfully and that really makes the impact more powerful. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/n/n… " width="15" height="15" alt="
I just love the way the sun's rays are just coming up over the mountain! Very nicely done on the shadows/shading. The grass looks great too, the texture of it looks so real I feel like I could reach out on touch it. The sky is beautiful; I love those colors of the early morning.
I really like Ignitus's expression. He looks so deep in though, almost like nothing could break his concentration. You did a really great job with him, and yet again, it looks like art taken from the games. I don't know how in the world you do that, but I'm always left very impressed! I love your style so much, keep up the amazing work! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/h… " width="15" height="13" alt="

This looks great! I love Ignitus, he's my favorite guardian too. Best part is he was voiced by Gary freaking Oldman.

Ignitus was made by Sierra Entertainment, not Activision!

Technically Sierra Entertainment and Activision are the same company now since they merged back in 2008. 'Activision' now owns the rights to the Spyro characters.

Now this work of art truly does justice to the fire guardian that is Ignitus. And the sun in the background to me represents his overall kindness: it warms your heart then it warms your body and soul.
Good job, I'm sure Ignitus would be proud!
