I never shipped these two in a particularly romantic way but they're cute either platonically or romantically so. Round of applause for Spyro and Cynder.

The real reason Cynder and other characters changed colors in DOTD

"I won't talk much about Spyro because for me it's one of the worst productions I've worked on. Our engine was too old to correctly display normal maps. It was decided to boost glossiness and had an orange bloom. The whole game render looked oily and ugly On most ELB productions, we didn't have an artistic director and decisions were made by the studio manager. These choices were decisive in the final rendering of the game. It was difficult to bring subtlety to the textures since the render was broken." - Yannick Gombart

This explains SO MUCH. We finally have the actual reason why Cynder’s change in scale color from black to indigo/dark purple! And the Chronicler's colors changing from gray to bright blue! And it has nothing to do with story!

Cynder, the Chronicler, and other characters had their textures changed so that they can stand out in the messy bloom that covered the whole game and a result of DOTD’s broken game render and outdated game engine.

The game also didn’t have an art director, can you believe it?? So Etranges Libellules’ studio manager had to make the decisions. That explains why the character designs were all over the place too!

Convexity Cataclysm | My piece for the Spyro 25th Anniversary Zine! ---

My illustration was to represent The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning and I chose the final boss fight between Spyro and Cynder as the portal in Convexity opens to unleash the spirit of the dark master Malefor back into the world.

This was my first ever physically published art, I poured everything I had into this art and I'm insanely proud of it! If you want to snag your own copy of the Zine and see all the amazing fanart and read the cute fanfics inside then there are some limited amount of copies left at https://spyrozine.bigcartel.com/ @spyro25zine
