Skylanders How-To Volume 1: New Skylanders

Welcome to the first volume of Skylanders How-To. In this volume, I will be going over the basics of making a Skylander.

Step 1: The Thought Process
This can be one of the most difficult parts of making a Skylander. You have to think of something; a creature, inanimate object, etc. Here's how to do it:

1. Inspiration can be found anywhere! I find the easiest way to make a Skylander is to look all around me. The clouds, a brick wall, heck, even a dusty closet may suffice! Then, you can take those things and turn them into a creature. A swirly cloud creature, a brick monster, or a mound of dust that's alive! Ok, so maybe those aren't the best places to look. Let's try somewhere else.

2. An easy way to make a Skylander is to look in a book or website. Flip through your favorite animal book and find something you think could be a cool character. However, the majority of Skylanders are not animals. Search up a list of mythical monsters, as they tend to make pretty sweet Skylanders. Or, search for a list of different heroes through history.
