Description

So I thought that putting Cyril in an icy/snowy environment to match his element would seem too cliché. So I wondered what would happen if he was just walking through a different environment for a midnight stroll. And here is the result!

I figured that since he is an ice dragon, that he'd be leaving a trail of frozen grass wherever he went, and he's freezing the water so he can cross it, but I honestly think he's doing it just to show off! LOL!

The second, larger moon I added quite late. I just remembered seeing two (or more) moons in the sky while playing the games; so I quickly added it before posting. Hope you all like! :D

Have I mentioned how awesome your dragon style is? Because I love it. This is a really cool picture and I only now just realize the pun there. But really! I love that an Ice Dragon is just walking around and decides to walk over a lake - that is brilliance! Also the scene of the night is just awe inspiring and I really like the background you did in this one. BRAVO! Even the water - it has that cool, smooth lake texture and I applaud that artistic ability that you have harnessed. However there are a few little things that bother me. The nearer water doesn't have the same watery lake feel, I'm not sure if that was on purpose or not. I think it would be cool to see the frost forming on some of the grass or maybe just having the dry ice effect of where he steps instead of the whole area. Also the larger moon seems a tad dim on a clear night like this - or is it just a different color? Maybe it could be brighter/clearer? These are just my thoughts, I don't claim to know Spyro lore and how the elemental dragons work.
This is still an inspiring piece; don't take my criticisms too seriously. You've done far more with these digital dragon pieces than I have even imagined attempting and your skill is improving and inspiring. There's a lot of talent and potential in you, you already have the masterpiece - I'm only going to suggest a little polish.
(Another woot for well done nature backgrounds!) <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/c/c…" width="20" height="20" alt=":clap:" title="Clap"/>
