Style Research Refinement - Ascalon

I really liked the art style for the first Spyro the Dragon game and for the Legend of Spyro series. The first game has a cute, cartoony look and the prelim sketches are very expressive.

Legend of Spyro is very stylistic. The only female dragon in the game, Cynder is graceful, elegant, yet fierce, which is how I want Ascalon to look as a full grown dragon.

I also liked some of the designs by Kei Acedera as her dragons were cute and appealing.

And thought the guest art of John Nevarez and Martin Hsu were very eye catching.

Nevarez's dragon looks powerful and intimidating. It would make a good reference for Ascalon's mother.
