Commission for @the-legend-of-spyro

Nightshade kinda destroyed this one. It's usually less visible. Ah well, the realities of sharing art on the post-AI Internet.

In every universe, they find each other in some way

More dragons!

Up top, we have Actual Adult Cynder, looking after her egg and worrying about her ability to be a mother.

And down below, we have some rough sketches for how I imagine Spyro and Cynder would look as young adults. I have some notes for my thoughts on them below the cut!

Cynder

She still bears a little resemblance to her corrupted form, but not as much as she feared she would. Her corrupted form is giving "Child But Stretched" and rather exaggerated in terms of what an actual adult female dragon would look like. She's quite grateful that growing up doesn't mean being reminded of her past every time she so much as sees her reflection.

She got more spikes as she got older, and does not develop any extra ridges or markings related to her elements. Maybe her wings would change slightly, though. Her corruption messed up her development a little(and I didn't know where I would put such things without crowding her markings...), so some things don't come in on time, or ever in some cases.

Spyro

As I said, I am firmly in the "Ignitus is Spyro's Father" Camp. As such, as he gets older, Spyro starts to take after the late Fire Guardian in terms of appearance. There are small differences, of course, some from his mother and others just unique to him.

The angst potential of Spyro occasionally seeing Ignitus as he catches glimpses of his reflection. Mostly in windows, where he can't always see his purple scales, or in the dark. But also, the more fluffy idea of the two reuniting on the White Isle, and Ignitus commenting on Spyro's growth of/when Spyro visits as an adult. Saying nothing of their resemblance, they can both see it. But just a fatherly comment about how far the young dragon from all those years ago has come...

“ Only if you heart want to, Cynder. ''

Been all over the place for these two. I wanted to make Spyro and Cynder look more mature in this... I hope I did it right! :<)

Surprisingly I've never made a fankid for Spyro and Cynder. I honestly go back and forth between platonic or romantic Spyro/Cynder. But either way thought it would be fun to try out what I think a kid of theirs would look like!

Igneous is a male, and a Fire dragon. I think I got a pretty good balance between them. His name is a tribute to Ignitus, and yes both agreed on the name. I'm actually gonna be writing a one-shot about it.

I may also make a daughter - she'll be a wind dragoness, and her name will be Lume (like Luminous).

The background is one I pulled off the wiki and blurred.

EDIT: did the egg too

Hmmm what's this?

Hmm interesting. We were told another cardiophilia content, yooo!!! Okay. And this again, supposedly be shared coz guess what? Many of them forgot to SEO for cardiophilia people, like me yeah!

Just so let you know, Jeffrey. What you did turns on all of us heartbeat lover. Didn't see that coming, and we like it!

Thancc.. hold on... @brightenight , for the URL, yess. Cool and good.

Oh, that was a concept video. He was working on Skylanders fan movie some sort.

I find it really ironic that I prefer Spyro and Cynder remaining platonic in the series where Spynder is canon (TLoS), yet I ship them in the series where they actually are just friends (Skylanders).

This is my discontent with MLP for not giving me Spike's parents

Yep I got into my head that Spyro and Cynder are Spike's parents… I don't regret a thing

Spyro and Cynder Head Canons(Some Shippy, Some Platonic, Some Just General)

Ideas struck me a while ago, and I wanted to share. Some of these are based on an interview someone had with Jared Pullen, others are just from my own brain.

Spyro would have been a Fire Dragon if he was not the Purple Dragon, and I am fully down with the idea of him and Ignitus being related.

Had she not been corrupted, Cynder would be a Wind Dragon.

Initially, after A New Beginning, Cynder was extremely jumpy and distrustful of everyone around her. The first of the group she managed to calm down around was Spyro. Part of it was that he was the most friendly of them, always trying to keep her company and such. The other part was that he was smaller, and therefore less imposing. Despite the fact he blasted her in the face with what I can only assume is the magic and draconic equivalent of a small scale nuke.

Spyro told Cynder(after she mentioned how impressed she was) that he defeated her in Convexity with not even a week of training(not in a condescending way, just an "oh, thanks, I'm shocked I survived" kinda way). Cynder needed a few hours to recover from the shock.

These two just up and vanish into nature at random times. Whether it's Avalar, the swamp Spyro grew up in, or even the White Isle, they are known to disappear for a bit then come back to either Warfang or the Temple. So long as they come back in a month or two, no one tends to panic.

Occasionally, Spyro would worry he would turn out like Malefor. Cynder somehow has a sixth sense for knowing when he's thinking this, and will put an immediate stop to that line of thinking. It ranges from gentle reassurance that the only thing he shares with Malefor is scale colour, to straight up threatening him with bodily harm if she gets any hint he's genuinely turning evil.

Cynder was scared of growing up because she was scared of seeing her old self in her reflection when she was fully grown. She ended up not looking exactly like she did under Malefor's control, so she feels a little more comfortable with her appearance.

Spyro is a blast furnace. Mostly because of his Fire Element. When they're living together, Spyro often wakes up to Cynder glued to him to get the extra warmth.

The two are each other's anchors, especially after nightmares.

If they ever had kids, Cynder would be a nervous wreck while waiting for the eggs to hatch. Spyro's nervous, too, but he grew up with good examples of parenting in the form of Flash and Nina. Cynder's references for parenting are Gaul and Malefor, and it has her terrified she's going to mess up as a mother. Eventually, Spyro suggests they just use Gaul and Malefor as the What NOT To Do Guide, and that works out really well.

Trips to the White Isle. It started as Spyro wanted to talk to The Chronicler, maybe have a rant, and he brought Cynder along for the ride(and maybe told her what the Chronicler said would happen to her after Malefor returned). But surprise! Instead of the first guy, he gets Ignitus! There were tears, and all that emotional stuff, and now the two of them make a point to visit at least annually.

After restoring the world in Dawn of the Dragon, and recovering from that, Spyro and Cynder did spend at least a year in Avalar. They took the opportunity to hang out, have fun, and just be twelve after all the trauma and stuff they went through. They made sure to tell the remaining Guardians where they went, so nobody worried if they got trapped in stasis again.

Spyro does eventually introduce Cynder to Flash and Nina. The hold up was on her end, because she wasn't sure how Spyro's adopted parents would feel about meeting one of the people who tried to kill him and their biological son. Flash and Nina were actually quite welcoming, after getting to meet Cynder. Sparx had told a couple stories, but had warmed up enough to Cynder to let the Terror of the Skies stuff be told on her terms.

Cynder ends up being adopted by either Cyril or Terrador. Not sure which of the two, but she gets a dad who actually cares about her and her wellbeing.

Cynder x Flame for nostalgia's sake!

Based on this old drawing, one of the few I managed to save from my old DA using the wayback machine :'D

[weireir]

Shadow’s new tattered wings have already been done with another black-and-red counterpart character: Cynder from The Legend of Spyro series. The wings look way better on a majestic dragon. Are shark fins on his back not enough? 😭 How about developing his personality?

Merry (late) Christmas! 💚🎁🎄
