Spyro the Dragon - Fanart/Tutorial

I had the unique commission of designing a step-by-step on drawing of Spyro for the place where I work, The National Videogame Museum. I've never done a proper step-by-step tutorial because I typically talk through my process in person or live on Twitch so reverse engineering the final product was a challenge. Fortunately, I like challenges. I didn't want to do a standard Spyro stock render but I still wanted other artists and museum visitors to take away a version of the purple dragon that is undeniably recognisable. The temptation to draw him as a realistic dragon was difficult to resist but ultimately, I think this pose shows off his too-cool for school persona. I also realised there aren't many pictures of him actually breathing fire. I wonder why?
