So sorry I’ve been so disconnected from the online world for a few weeks now… my house had several ant infestation waves back to back along with me dealing with a huge wave of depression when it comes to my day job. Things are finally starting to calm down and I hope to do some more art soon ❤️

Every once in a while I get someone suggesting I use AI in some aspect of creation…. Just posting this as a heads up. This isn’t a debate, it’s a statement about my work.

I had a dream last night that @ToysForBob hired me to do some social media promotional images for Spyro A Realm Beyond (along with some QA work) and needless to say I’m devastated upon waking up.

I've compiled all recordings of each pose and slowed the speed a bit so you can have a better look at the process. I really enjoyed rendering these.
Bsky edit: had to speed the vid a little bit so I don't reach the 3min limit

What are some your favorite tropes in character design you never get tired of?
I’ll go first:
1. Characters with unnecessary bandages all over
2. Characters with big hair
3. Characters with goggles on their head
4. Characters with no discernible mouths

Your support through means like Ko-Fi are what allow me to do more non commission art in my free time! That means more art of Spyro, Sonic, Crash, etc!!!

It’s about time I did more Spyro art and I can’t resist drawing Elora. I wanted to design her if she had been in the Legend series. She’s from a tribe of fauns who are wary of dragons due to the destruction by Cynder but, after meeting Spyro, she starts to trust them over time. #art #spyro
