Agh! My fingers! MAJOR carpel tunnel. I shouldn't have been sitting on my ass so long. Anways, here it is, the reference sheet for Spyro and Cynder, Redeemer style. LEts see, I need to thank for her awesome Cynder lineart, as it helped a great deal. Surprisingly, creating new characters off of old characters is a lot more difficult than it sounds. Anyways, I didn't use the lineart COMPLETELY, as in the original, she looked way to old, so I basically used it as a guideline, mainly on her paw. What else? OH! Cloth instead of bracelets, my idea. What else? I took some design ques off of Malefor, as I figured that Spyro would start looking like him eventually. What else? Image is to scale, yada yada. I'm really proud of Spyro's eyes, those came out better than I expected.

Edit: I have had some issues with people telling me that Cynder is in fact a Black dragon instead of a purple one. While in the storyline, she is indeed a black dragon, her powers are equivalent to that of Spyro. Not only that, but in the game, Dawn of the Dragon, her skin color was in fact a very dark purple. Those two in combination makes her, in MY opinion to be a purple dragon, and not simply some common shadow dragon. Say your opinions, that's what they are, but don't tell me I'm wrong and that I should change it, because I won't.
