Dunno if people are still talking about the Leak in here. Seems like some are from the last few pages in here, so I just wanted to leave another little comparison thing that hopefully helps people out. There are timestamps in the description that will make it easier to switch between different...

I dunno, if it's fake, the person responsible can stage a good leak, that much is certain. But we don't have any idea how good the individual character paintings look. We only have a blurry mess. =P

No problem! Yeah, print can retain as much if not more than your average computer display because usually printers demand that raster images in print are at least 300pixels per inch. It's only recently than things like Apple's retina displays and other high pixel density displays started to...

Not to be one of "those people," but as a graphic designer, I don't see why the differences in the leak banner background would make any difference one way or the other as far as production or design goes. It would have literally no effect on production costs, and doesn't function to make the...

Good question. And I feel like I can actually answer this one with authority, as I order things to be printed from print shops all the time for work as a graphic designer. No, small changes to an image like this would not affect cost in the slightest. The things that factor into print cost are...

Another comparison for kicks and giggles. Demonstrates that the version used on the wendy's truck is just the non-looping version of the one from simon & co's reveal. Also demonstrates that the empty version from E3 is the same exact background with no differences other than the obvious color...

Since people don't seem to be receptive on twitter, I just wanted to leave this here. Its purpose is to demonstrate that the background has not changed at all throughout these versions of the banner. Not asserting that it means anything. Just figured it's good to have a direct comparison where...

Hey guys, just wanted to stop in and offer a download to the PSD I've been using to compare various versions of the banner to see if the background has changed. So far, I've got the Wendy's truck, the 21752px wide E3 banner (post-ridley), the off-screen empty banner from the E3, the most recent...

@Nazyrus You've improved a lot since the last time I saw one of your pieces! Kudos on this one. While I can definitely still tell it's fan-made when looking at the full resolution version, the off-screen photo does a decent job masking the tell-tale signs. Maybe one of these days, we'll get...

Something I've always wondered (for obvious reasons) is what design the majority of Spyro fans seem to prefer. I've never played a Spyro game myself, but I'm fond of his character design. Of course, it would seem that most longtime fans dislike (or outright despise) Spyro's redesign from...

Musician, actually. XD

Very much so. I do my very best never to hold it against someone when they give criticism, even when it's not given very amicably. The criticisms always carry weight and can benefit future work. I just tend to focus on destructive criticism rather than constructive criticism, so smashified...

Oh gosh, I have no idea. I grow to hate all of them over time because all I see is the mistakes people have pointed out. XP

I think the part I enjoy the most is the design aspect: trying to see how an older character would be brought into a modern design context. I don't have any delusions of being the best at modernizing a character's design, but it's still the most interesting part. I love refining a design sketch...

I'm guessing I'd be initially disappointed, but in not too long I'd just be glad to see her in the game. I do have plans about what to do on the website in the event that one of the characters we do gets into the real game. =) It'd be very interesting to see how our interpretations compare with...
