Some of you may recall that small piece of trivia mentioned with my early dragons. Back in 1999 when I first started dragons, what did I use for my reference? Forget high fantasy like D&D, the sci-fantasy of McCaffery novels, and every dragon that ever existed, I based my dragons on one source and one source alone: the classic PSX game Spyro the Dragon.

I've come a long way since then, having arrived at a firm idea of what my dragons are. Reflecting on those old days, I guess it's only fitting that for one of my latest drawings I should draw out none other than Spyro according to my rules and style of dragon. And this is how he looks.

Medium: Colored & 0.7mm pencil
Time: About two hours
Scale: 75px/in
