What do you guys think the character designs for Spyro, possibly Cynder, Sparx, the Guardians, and others, will be like in the next Spyro game? Will they resemble EL's first-time dragon anatomy of the dragon characters, or will they be redesigned again to the new game developer's art style?

Depends on the direction of the Game. If its aimed at a certain audience then art concepts and final models will be based off of that. Since we don't know what ActiBlizz is doing with Spyro, its all up in the air. If they gave some sort of indication then we can go somewhere.
All in all, I think this topic needs to ask, what direction will they go in and what art style will they use for that direction.
Again they can aim towards: kids, tweens, teens, or young adults... or they can aim at: causal gamers, hardcore gamers, or just gamers in general.
We just won't know until we get some word from ActiBlizz.

Still, they should make the Guardians not smile so much and have actually sharp teeth instead of barney teeth.
... or look almost exactly the same (Igntius, and Terrador)... Nonetheless, its a tough call either way.
Despite my overwhelming disappointment w/Tlos... I did like their style, to a point (glares at Sypro & EL's Cynder model)... its going to be hard what to hold as default when they actual, if ever, decide to announce a Spyro game. Should we, as fans prefer a more cartoon style, more serious style, mix of both, or something fresh.
Either way its our call, and to me, eh, I prefer a mix but that's me.
They should make the Guardians not smile so much. I hope they won't make Cynder look purple again. She supposed to look like a black dragon, not a purplish-black dragon whenever she's in the sunlight.

EL did do a lot of changes... Your right Aura24 the Barney Teeth is... jarring...
No matter, we need to know what the next game will be about & who it will target, not just age, but possibly by group as well. However, I wouldn't mind EL doing the BG artwork, DOTD, despite my disappointment of it, did have good BG

I wouldn't mind if they kept the DotD designs for Spyro and Cynder - they were OK - but no Barney teeth, no constant grins and I'd appreciate it greatly if they actually made Cynder look black.

XD Actually give him a serious look instead of that idiotic grin!
And have Cynder not look like another purple dragon. And I noticed that Spyro and Cynder were the only dragons who had no Barney teeth, except the real teeth of a dragon.
Dragons are supposed to have sharp canine teeth; the Guardians in DotD had Barney teeth thanks to EL. It looked like they didn't do any research on dragon anatomy.

...I will repeat my statement, albeit with more emphasis; the REAL teeth of DRAGONS?!
