Re: The Cover Art

it's pretty cool, if you don't look at it too long. they tried WAY too hard to be dark with the logo, and Spyro isn't (physically) anthro, he shouldn't be able to move his forelegs like that. i think the color contrast is also a little too high in the background, but i have a feeling that was intentional, so i don't really feel right complaining.

Re: The Cover Art

Good points. I think it is mostly the "arms" and the facial expression.

I actually really like the way the logo looks on this game. It's very... magic-y? Fits the game pretty well.

Re: The Cover Art

I agree, Spyro just looks goofy here, and a bit too human-like. Another thing I noticed is Spyro's horns seem too small for his head, and his muzzle seems is too big.

You gotta admit, the face makes him look better than he ever would in any other picture.

Re: The Cover Art

I don't care for the way they drew his face here. Something about the expression still seems off to me.

Looking closer at it again, his head kinda looks like they just pasted it on. Like it was part of another image and they Photoshopped it there. I think it has to do with the placement of the head on the neck and the lack of texture on the face compared to the rest of the body.

I have no idea why I'm bothering to analyze this. tongue
