I trawled the internet and thrift stores for an aviator cap, uniform pants, combat boots, a turtleneck, and a biker jacket that could all be painted, dyed, and altered to fit the look. Since Spyro spends a lot of time gliding and doing aerial stunts, I settled on styling him like a star flying ace. I thought about bodysuits and armor, but they just didn’t make sense for this scrappy, spunky teenage dragon. I knew I wanted the wings, horns, and tail to be really clear, but I wasn’t sure at first how to build the rest of the look. Since I am sadly not a dragon, I did a lot of thinking about how to interpret Spyro’s character in a humanoid way. I made this costume to celebrate the 20th anniversary of my all-time favorite video game: Spyro the Dragon.
