Back-Story:
Furire was once a normal non-blazing canine, until one life changing day. While Furire was digging to bury his favorite bone, he came upon four mysterious artifacts. As he leaped into the hole to investigate the foreign objects, they magically attached above each one of his paws. Every single strand of Furire’s fur suddenly burst into flames and his body became infused with fire. A faint voice emitted from the strange articles, which startled Furire. He glanced down upon the items attached to him and questionably tilted his head to one side. The artifacts began to speak,
“We are flame spirits that inhabit these mystical bracers. We were created by an ancient race of canines to serve others of the canine species. Summon us when you need help in-battle. We will assist you.”
Furire then joined the Skylanders to put his new flaming abilities, along with the aid of his minions, to fight evil and defend Skylands.

Commentary:
This is my first time looking through and reading everyone else's characters and all of them are amazing! I made my character on Tuesday when the contest first started and haven't looked at the other characters until now and I noticed something. My concept is similar to Geekycat's character, in the way of the minions that the characters can summon. I want to let you know Geekycat that I didn't do this on purpose and I had no clue that anyone else was going to have a similar concept, I guess great minds think alike. I really like your character and I'm very sorry about this, I thought that I was going to be unique with the minions and ability pictures. I honestly am not trying to copy anyone else and I haven't seen anyone else's character designs until now, so I apologize if it's similar in any way to anyone else's.
This is why I should have checked daily to make sure that my character is 100% unique. It is all my creation, I made all of my pictures and everything. I made the ability backgrounds and character card by scratch (I didn't copy and paste any pictures from the original game artwork or card design). I tried to make my backgrounds similar to the ones in the game but I added my own style to them.
This is my first time making digital drawings from scratch like this, so I'm experimenting with new mediums, I probably wouldn't have tried this if it weren't for this contest. I'm glad that this contest got me to be creative and try new things.
Overall, I spent 48 hours (Not including brakes) on my character's design and everything you see here.
I really wish that I had more time but I have to do a ton of homework right now so I wish all of you good luck with your concepts =)
I'm extremely impressed with everyone's work, you guys are amazing =D!
Edit 2: I forgot to say that I have nerve damage and I used my touch pad on my laptop to draw my pictures so I'm very sorry if the lines aren't straight. I lost about ten hours of work due to a computer crash also so I had to re-due a lot of it.
