SPYRO THE DRAGON

Spyro is a birthday present for a friend. Spyro was an easy one to design due to all the other dragons that I have made for others. Spyro has been one that I have been thinking of making for my daughter that is obsessed with dragons. Spyro is the protagonist in a series of video games. Spyro was first introduced in 1998 with the Playstation game Spyro the Dragon and there has been numerous sequels and a reboot trilogy.
