It’s official!  Happy Spyro day everyone!! It’s out in the world :) I was blessed to be invited to redesign many of these characters alongside the amazing team at Toys For Bob. Working on Spyro was a real childhood dream come true! On the occasion of the release, I thought I’d bring back a handful of the concepts of mine that have been officially released- each character was its own unique challenge and hopefully in the end we’ve done right by the fans who have loved Spyro since his debut so many years ago! I’ve gotta go get in my dragon onesie and fire this up- see y’all in the realms :) www.nicholaskole.art
