Drawing in clip studio after using procreate for so long feels like switching from a bicycle to a car, so much SPEED.
I’m really trying to develop “low effort” fun sketchy workflow, but oh dear i always end up fidgeting with brushes or post processing. Something feels lacking, i don’t know what.
This was definitely a much harder one to draw initially. I didn’t have the LOADS of great references I had for the other dragons. But he still turned out great!
His horns are insane, btw. His MIGHT have the record for longest/widest horns of the elder dragons.
Hi again everyone! Time for another Spyro sketch. These are so much fun.
It’s Gildas this time. He’s such a doll, and I felt like drawing him happy and laughing. Out of all the older dragons, Spyro seems so keen to listen to him. I bet they have a good relationship.
I think they dabble in certain aspects of art as a medium, like Nevin clearly does portraits and scenery (and most likely used oils), while Gildas gives off "Bob Ross"/slight hobbyist vibes (acrylics), and Delbin gives off slight surrealist vibes with the usage of the impasto technique.
That's my 2 cents though! A lot of the dragons seem to have similar themes, but it's always fun to imagine what distinctively makes them unique.
I think each elder dragon in Spyro have their own specialty or occupation. Even though Delbin, Gildas, and Nevin are all artists, they each have their own art style and use different mediums.
i know it's been literally years since i posted anything. to be honest i got kind of burned out :(
i do have several imgur albums that i have never gotten around to making posts for. I still do plan on making the fancy posts for each of these at some point but for now, here are the links to their full imgur albums. i have more pictures but they're on my old laptop, so i have to set up imgur albums for them first
edit: all the links should be working now. some will give you a warning for "adult imagery" but there is none

second edit: i found the issue for real this time. there are images i can't upload to imgur or they will cause the entire album they're uploaded to to 404. fixed the albums, and these are the Profane Images:
