More Inspiration: Spyro Fan Art

Here are a few fan enemy concepts I created for the Spyro series. One of the dragonfly's worst enemies is the chameleon. I thought that this type of enemy would more dangerous it acquired wings.

Chamefly Enemy Concept

Chamefly King Boss Concept

The idea of the Chamefly King came to mind when I finished the Chamefly enemy concept. This enemy is feared by its lesser specimens with good reason. Young dragons, like Spyro for example, are dwarfed by the Chamefly King's massive size, and are considered food to the voracious beast since they are smaller than him.

"The Chamefly King is a massive, aggressive monster, and leader of the Chameflies. Despite being the monarch of his own species, the Chamefly King feeds off the Chameflies it sees as useless or annoyances, and devours anything else smaller than him. If enraged, the Chamefly King will swipe at the attacker using its four pairs of claws. It will also use its camouflage as an advantage technique to sneak up on its prey and ensnare it with its long sticky tongue, but like all Chameflies, its nose horns remains visible.

Unlike the Chameflies, the Chamefly King can completely fly into the air using its two pairs of wings."

Skylanders Inspiration

Throughout my years as a Spyro the Dragon fan, I've seen the fascinating variety of characters with wonderful personalities and abilities in the game series.

With the addition of the upcoming Spyro game, Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure, I couldn't help but let my imagination of making a fan character for the game come to light as I was quite fascinated with the toy concept of the game and its characters. I wanted to make an interesting character who is unique and is part of a species that almost rivals the mighty form and history of dragons. After a while, I remembered the mythical Aztec god, the Quetzalcoatl, a feathered serpent that is often confused of being a dragon. After some thinking, a Quetzalcoatl is what I wanted to make my character as.

I wanted to make my character to be effective and pretty at the same time. Being based on the Aztec myth, I had to do a few research on the designs of the Aztecs. Although it took a lot of tries and sketches, I finally managed to create the right design for my Quetzalcoatl character.

Coatl Aztec Protector: Tuula

The name 'Tuula' means 'wind' in Finnish. I find it to be a suitable name for my Quetzalcoatl character, since her Element is Air. :)
I was quite surprised at how I managed to pull off on drawing Tuula in her most aggressive stance in the picture shown above. Her lunging strike in a serpentine, graceful pose displays how a vicious and cunning character Tuula can be when in the face of danger.

Tuula Concept #3

In addition, I was so intrigued by the game concept for Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure that I even created a biography for Tuula as I noticed all 32 official characters in Skylanders will have bios of their abilities and personalities. It is truly exciting to see where your imagination of the things you love to do takes you, and helps accomplish feats you thought it would be impossible to do.

Tuula Biography

Tuula
Species: Quetzalcoatl
Element: Air
Primary Attack: Aerial Strike
Secondary Attack: Wind Cutter
Upgrades include: Flight, Wind Seeker, Razorwind
Biography: Tuula takes her responsibility in protecting her Aztec home from troublemakers and evil doers almost seriously. She came from a long line of feathered coatls who were hailed as gods to the natives in her land. When evil rears its ugly head, Tuula uses her speed and wind strikes to their advantage to confuse and strike down her foes. This winged serpent may seem serious in her battle against evil, but she is good at heart, calm and calculated towards the other Skylanders.
Personality: Tuula is calm and calculated when faced against evil, and is a fierce ally during combat. She doesn't take her enemies seriously unless her opponents are strong. When around friends, she can be seen as serene, calm, collected, and nice as long as you don't irritate her.
