Description Our hero takes his long and well deserving rest, after saving the entire Dragon Race.

Here's another take at Spyro and this time, for the sake of others, no longer in a sensual session. I was kind off bored when I did this, and for once, I didn't use a reference. The pose idea came from when I was playing Dead Space 2. As for technical wise, what do you guys think? Is the grass good? Is the tree believable? Did I improve?

Tell me in the comments!

Please leave me a constructive critique/comment! I really appreciate them!

A request which is the following, I have an account on fanfiction but i need a better picture. That's where you come in. I need you to re-draw my character with a kevlar helmet with a cross-com from tom clansy's "ghost recon: advanced warfighter" on and a holster on his right side P.S. He's holding a M9 sidearm in his right paw and has an M4 with a ACOG and Foregrip attached on his back. Bandoiler is opitional and he also has a sickle tail blade.

The grass is good, as well as the clouds, but you need to work on the tree, looks kinda like cartboard.
The shadow in the grass is Spyro's right?
P.S. It looked like Spyro could be bipedal if he stood up, you could use that for later.

Some good stuff and some bad stuff.
First, the grass looks amazing, you're ddefinitly getting better with it. The pose is great too. reminds me of Lyra a bit, but who cares. ^_^

Next, the elbows... I've noticed in your past few drawings they tend to look like doll arms. By that I mean the joint itself is small, but then the flesh bulges out and makes his arms look incredibly fat. You've done this on the past few drawings, but I didn't say anything in case it was a fluke. But whatever you're trying to do with the arm joints, it's not working.

also, his left paw has two claws, and appears to be leaning on an invisible object.

That is all for now

Rovas117 In reply to Silverthe-Dragon [2011-11-02 21:18:21 +0000 UTC]

Hm. So what do you mean? I need to fix the joint in general? Make it bigger?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Silverthe-Dragon In reply to Rovas117 [2011-11-03 05:05:33 +0000 UTC]

not bigger. it looks like there are fatty flabs around the joints. As much as it ruined everything about the plot, watch the Eragon movie or at least look up pictures of Saphira, it's a great referance on how a dragon should look.

Rovas117 In reply to Silverthe-Dragon [2011-11-03 07:02:08 +0000 UTC]

I don't get what you mean. To be honest, the references I use have those on their joints. In one way or another.

Uh, no. Even when they are straight. Look at "Grace and Strenght" by CASF and look at Spyro's joint.

No offense to CASF, but Shalone is a better artist. use this as referance. [link]

Heh...I'll try and combine the two styles if I can. It's hard to shift an art style.

Silverthe-Dragon In reply to Rovas117 [2011-11-03 11:47:08 +0000 UTC]

That may be, and I'm not forcing you to do anything, but there are plenty of things that if people had just done them "How they were used to" We'd never be where we are today. Imagine if there was no electricity because people were just "used to candlelight"?

You're REALLY pushing this Silver. If you want me to do it that badly then do it yourself. You say you're not forcing me to do anything, yet you give me reasons that are contradictory to your decision. Make up your mind.
