Ehh, I guess it was a little suggestive, just because the way she's looking at you all.. seductive.. like. O.o But it's a good picture though. Little stuff like that just tends to attract the attention we don't want here. But that picture wasn't really bad at all compared to stuff out there.

When I think of the name, I instantly imagine something AHT-like cartoonish (maybe it's just because I'm thinking of the realm 'Dragon Kingdom' in AHT). But I'd like to see something mixed, like ANB/TEN, if it's a Legend game.

When I hear "Spyro's Kingdom", I too imagine something like the Dragon Kingdom in AHT, but more majestic and realistic looking like in DotD.

...I'd like to see them do a cel-shaded style, to be honest. Maybe similar to The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, which combined Wind Waker's cartoony art style and Twilight Princess' more realistic art style. That'd be cool. Like a cel-shaded DotD style, if it's a Legend game ( though I do miss the small Spyro and Cynder).

I really loved the style they went with the original games...
it's not even as 'cartoony' as AHT ...I dunno how to describe it...
it's just kinda well balanced imo...

I agree with Kimbia, I don't think the classic games are completely cartoonish, in terms of level design. After all, back then, graphics weren't as good as they are now.

Otherwise, I'd like something mixed. A little purple dragon saving the world doesn't really fit with 'realistic' IMHO, compared to games like Dragon Rage for instance.

And also, Cynder change. Back to a more Krome-style appearance.

Well, some of the levels could be dark, and some could be more colorful, so it's not over-loaded with darkness, or over-loaded with bright colors. That way it could have a mixture and be more evened out.



Yeah, the dark themes only happen by the bad-guys. So they could use dark themes and smoky black dragons. They should spicen up Malefor and make him come out of the crystal he was sealed in with a 'dark version'.

The mixed art style would be best, & the graphics should look like those 3D sonic games (e.g Sonic hero's)

Spyro should look like the (cancelled) movie-like Spyro:

Cynder should have that style too.

Seeing as it's only Wii and DS at the moment, I hope the Wii version looks as good as Sonic Colours. That game has great graphics. I'm not even going to say"for a Wii game". It has great graphics, full stop.


It has realistic lighting and some realistic textures, but has a cartoony vibe to it.

When pepole say the game should have "cell-shading" like Zelda.. what exactly do they mean?
Aura24 Platinum Sparx Gems: 6561
#68 Posted: 20:59:44 22/11/2010 | Topic Creator
A cartoonish, realistic feel would probably match Spyro's Kingdom, depending on what kind of game it is.

Cel-shading is a type of shading... I don't remember the specifics on it, but try looking up The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker.

Here's a random picture of Wind Waker, to give you an idea: http://www.gamefaqs.com/gamecu...images/screen-6

I don't like that cel shading style; it looks old-quality, y'know? But maybe that's coz that game isn't a newer game.

As for the whole thing onmovie designs Spyro should stay as a kid, not be adult.

For me, it would be:

Keep it like DotD(if it's LoS)
Cartoony or cel-shaded(Classic Spyro)
Mix of Krome and EL's style(if it's LoS)
Watercolour effect(Both Spyros)
Something like Sonic Colours(Both Spyros)
Something new but good!

I think they should make Cynder's waist thicker and her chest smaller, and also enlarge both their ankles and make the membranes of thier wings actually touch their backs.
Like this:
[User Posted Image]

I also think Spyro's horns should be edited so that the tips point forward when he charges. He also needs a tail weapon that doesn't look like a harmless leaf. Maybe an arrowhead, maybe the pointed cone of old, IDK. As for his crest, I liked the mohawk-like crest he used to have, but if the kept his current crest, but connected the membranes to get rid of the segments, that'd be cool too. Fianlly, I have a problem with his snout.

I dunno, the ridges on the top jaw and the way the tip sort of bounced around in game when he moved his head and spoke just made his head look...gross.

I like what this person did in this image.

Here's a good design for the crest and snout:

Have a mix. Like in AHT, it started all cartoony, but then when you got to the last levels, it got all dark and lots of steam punk and tech punk elements.

Reminded me of my grandmother's house. It was all happy and flowery, but the woods behind it were dark, and covered with the creeping vines.

And I would like a more realistic feel to it, but with just a hint of that classic feel. Like that pic of Cyn that Aura posted.

It's EL's concept art of Cynder, I don't see why they didn't chose her concept design instead of making her more skinny and purple...

Mixed feel, like a cartoony, realistic feel if the game's going to be light-hearted and comedic.
