darkSpyro

I saw some photos on DeviantArt by a guy named GhostAegis talking about a "revised" version of Star Strike called Nova Star Strike and I wanted to know if this is real of not.



EDIT: Confirmed to be fanmade.

Wow... if this is legit, we may have our returning Magic SuperCharger.....

But GhostAegis mentioned being a student working towards a BFA in Illustration, so it can't be legit. This is likely set as one of his works for his portfolio.

Legit as in-game? Nada.

Considering that there is a physical/digital model of the figure (if it were to exist) It definitely argues for her existence more than spyro.

Probably not, but I hope that it is.

Well, it could be leaked concept art and a leaked 3D model or prototype. If they're real, it would indicate that Activision is pulling another Light/Dark surprise on us like they did last year, as the above photos have a distinct lack of an engine and would seem to indicate that if real, we'll be seeing cores after all. I still haven't managed to get through viewing the big backlog of E3 videos in their entirety, so could someone advise if anyone actually asked if cores were going to show up and, if so, if they got a legitimate answer?

No. Nice design though.

It's either a really good fanmade idea or some scrapped design. Doesn't look anything like driving attire,so it might've been for a previous idea for gimmick-reposes, if it's not just a really dedicated fan thinking of one on their own. But Supercharger? Very unlikely.

The concept is also pretty unclean(leftover lines too visible, not the sketch). From what we've seen in the Bowser and DK sketches, they always show it in a much cleaner version.

I pray it is. She's one of my favs. and that proto-type is amazing.

I honestly hope they will reveal Cores later this year... But it wouldn't be like Light and Dark at all.
I was expecting Cores even if we haven't see them yet.
I was absolutely shocked about Light and Dark introduction.

The concept arts and the 3D model look really good... But I doubt they are SuperChargers related.
As much as I would love to have new Cores (NEW, not reposes) I don't think we'll see them this year so the lack of an engine does make it suspicious.
Yet I do have to admit she really has the "remake" look.
The fans are no longer visible and looks like she now has a ring like Gearshift's... Definitely not a common repose in my opinion.

That base guys, that base

Which is why I'm saying it's at the most scrapped.
Also, Star Strike's skin doesn't exactly seem made of magic fire, her face looks solid. There's also quite a bit of midriff, and if Ninjini's old design had to be scrapped because of it,so should Star Strike's.

Liking her better than any possible Spyro that we may get. Doubt she's anything more than a OC of someone's.

Ok, after reading GhostAegis' post on DeviantArt it is definitely a fan made concept.
She does look good and wouldn't surprise me if V.V. and TfB actually took inspiration from her to come up with a S2 Star Strike but this isn't official.

I think he didn't put the engine on purpose to avoid thinking she is official... Too bad we are a bunch of hardcore speculators.

I should sketch up some Skylander gimmick-reposes for the heck of it and try to see how long it took until someone thought it was real :U
Doubt people even notice the fact I have my dA account right in the signature most of the time.

Star Strike is my second favourite Magic Skylander. So if it's not Spyro, I'd rather this than Pop Fizz.

Thought about that myself. Still a great concept, especially the modelling...

IF Star Strike is the returning Magic SuperCharger, and her design is different from this fan conept, I can imagine some fans complaining about liking the fan concept more.

Cool design but praying spyro comes back.

Most likely.
And a couple saying she ripped off Ninjini and Gearshift.

This just made my day. I will cry a river if Star Strike doesn't come back and we get Spyro instead.

No no no no no no
SPYRO FTW
SCREW STAR STRIKE BRING BACK SPYRO

Calm down, Dark, this Star Strike is a fan concept, not official.

wish it was legit i'm digging this Star Strike over the Swap Force version. Much rather her then another Spyro.

not Legit, no motor base. My opinion anyway

It's a nice design but it's very obviously fan made. The official concept art for Skylanders is always a lot more polished and pro than this. Also, no Superchargers themes of any sort are evident here; it's just a fan made redesign. A nice one, but fan made nonetheless.

If she is gonna be a SuperCharger, then her pedestal should be a gold engine with a Magic element icon on the front and between something that are related to Magic like purple magical dust or something.

Wow I wish that was real.

I doubt it. It looks great, butt I doubt it.

EDIT: It's not. No SuperCharged base.

Screw Spyro, honestly one of my least favorite characters gameplay wise. Star Strike is tied for 1st with Pop Fizz in Magic and is defiantly in my top 10. Other than Wrecking Ball and Double Trouble, Spyro is 3rd for my least favorite over all.

Looks like it could just be a concept he came up with. The model is noted to be made in some pretty well known art programs, but really anyone could own (and certainly an artist would own)

His website does mention he's got his BFA already, but eh, i dunno.

If it's not just a fan concept, I mean..at one point they could have been looking for ideas and outsourced them to students and stuff. I know we did a thing for NASA at my college as a final project. Perhaps at one point, characters were also meant to have moving parts like the cars (the ring has little arrows around it, indicating movement)

It is a prototype remember...

Star Strike for SC = Winning

This is FAN MADE, it's not the real deal. Guy who made this is a student working towards Game Illustration.

That model is pretty neat, I hope they get it 3d printed.

Oh, didn't see that.

It's fake you can tell by the base

(Not to be a buzzkill)

Nova Star strike sounds like a S2 name notice how stealth elf, terrafin, and gill grunt have long additions to the beginning of their names. like deep dive gill grunt, super shot stealth elf, etc. It seems that with reposes, they are kinda getting longer addons to the beginning of their names, so this could have been a TT prototype
