I LOVE THE ART I WORSHIP YOU HOW CAN YOU MAKE SOMETHING SO BEAUTIFUL

I love this scene where the original toothless design from the books meets the one from the movie

(also guyssss I am literally exploding the how to train your dragon movie comes out this Friday!!!!)

…I get that I am a tiny bit obsessed with dragons

Seems a bit familiar?

drawing the scene when hiccup finds fishlegs in the maze of mirrors in the amber slavelands :]

Hiccups hatred for the somewhat lacking dragon training manual will always bring me joy. He’s such a hater of specifically that book. I swear he hated that book more than he hates Alvin.

Now I'm picturing baby Hiccup scurrying around and munching innocent dragon's eggs just for his little dragon book man autism really does destroy families huh 💔 (/j)

And a complimentary pic of all the eggs because they're really cool:

"The thing is, we are all, in a sense, supper. Walking, talking, breathing suppers, that's what we are. Take you, for instance. YOU are about to be eaten by ME, so that makes you supper. That's obvious. But even a murderous carnivore like myself will be supper for worms one day. We're all snatching precious moments from the peaceful jaws of time, ... That's why it's so important for the supper to sing as beautifully as it can."

I've always wanted to redraw this illustration, so I let myself have fun while doing it! Sadly, tumblr made me compress it, and will likely crunch it more, so please feel free to click for better resolution ^o^/

I would do anything for an animated cartoon of the httyd books. I have dreamed about it for years. I even considered alternative names since the movies are their own thing.

Like maybe "how to became a hero (the hard way)" or just using other book tittles like "A Hero's Guide to Deadly Dragons" or "How To Twist a Dragon's Tale" .

I do love the movies and I do think changing it was a good idea cause the books do not translate well to movie form but they do translate well to animation and an animated series would be so good, you guys.

Come here old guy we're friends now

This poor boy holds the weight of the world on his shoulders 😭

He's doing his best

I’M BAAAAAAAACCCKKK AND IT’S FINISHED

I also posted it to TikTok and it’ll be on my YouTube pretty soon. I’m very happy with how this turned out - it started as just a quick little messy PMV/animatic but I ended up putting a lot more effort into it than I anticipated.

Tbh I have a whole animatic for the entire song in my head, but that’s a bit much at the moment. Maybe one day…

Furious and Hiccup II are so unfathomably important to me. Quite possibly my favourite tragic sibling story in any media. THEY DESERVED SO MUCH BETTER

this is one of the ten billion reasons hiccup is clearly aroace

(from book five)

[bearded-vulture]

Do you think Windwalker blames himself for Snotlout’s death? Like maybe he thinks he could have flown faster or swerved more or just not listened to Snotlout in the first place. Or maybe that he could have turned around and grabbed Snotlout before he hit the water if he had just been a little bit quicker, or even preventing him from falling off at all.

Maybe Windwalker started slowing down thinking that they’d made it through the worst of it and were in the clear, only for someone to get a lucky shot, and he blames himself for it?

He was so tired he was falling asleep while flying the next day, so I imagine he spent the whole night flying, looking for Snotlout or Hiccup and finding neither.

I don’t see any reason why he couldn’t have told Stormfly what happened, and she could have told Fishlegs and Camicazi that it was Snotlout who was shot down and not Hiccup. Maybe he was so tired he couldn’t speak, or he was so traumatised at seemingly losing Hiccup and having Snotlout shot down off his own back that he couldn’t get the words out.

Whats your opinion on hiccup x fishlegs?

They are fundamentally linked together for forever and all time, but platonically. I don’t ship them.

snotlout!

tried to recreate the same kind of charcoal/rough style cressida uses in her illustrations

[sentient-mawce]

YAYYYY I LOVE YOUR CROSSOVER COMICS !!!!!!!! I can’t wait to see where it goes :3

EEEEE THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I swear I’m working on it I just need to get through finals first! School work is just being piled on me at the moment…

in the mean time here’s a doodle of the nerds

Predictions for the end of the httyd books? (Only about things you haven't been spoiled on ofc, hopefully nothing has been 😭)

Thankfully nothing has been spoiled on me about the ending!

Well the obvious thing that we concluded from literally the first line in this series that dragons no longer exist, also Hiccup is King of the Wilderwest?. Now I'm not sure but I think that means the dragons live far far away in a place nobody can ever reach away from human civilization, the dragons absolutely CANNOT all perish bc I just won't accept that Hiccup would let the wrong people win.

Hiccup obviously set them free from viking's hands, but why? Hiccup believes humans and dragon can live together, so why are they all gone now? I don't understand. Toothless would NEVER leave Hiccup, it happened in the movie but my little stubborn rock head of a dragon Toothless would never, he has no reason to! so I hope he stays alive and Cressida won't pull off some sacrificing bs.

Hiccup will go through shit but somehow he'll manage to somehow heal Furious's broken heart like he always does and the dragons will be on his side (it sounds too nice to actually happen but we'll see)

Also I have a terrible feeling Alvin will be crowned king of the Wilderwest, I don't know how he'll get a hold of Toothless, I don't know how would Hiccup deal with that disaster, but I've seen that man escape the grip of death 5 times already (correct me if I'm wrong cuz I feel I missed one or two) and had managed to built an entire political party with a brutal army with the help of a half blind mother witch that cannot even walk properly, plus getting hold of 9 of the king's Things all while missing an arm, a leg, a nose, an eye and his hair. At this point I'm not too sure we're getting rid of him at the end, it's too good to be true.

And do you think Fishlegs would use his royal blood as an advantage? That would be very cool (regardless that his father is a commoner)

And last but not least, I've never believed Toothless is a Common-or-Garden, sure he looks like one that may be underdeveloped but come on it's been years and he still hadn't grown in size nor grew teeth (I think he had a fang or smt in the first book and it fell during the hunting competition?) not forgetting the dart on his nose, call him a Toothless daydream or whatever, but Toothless is too special to be ordinary, just like his master whom everyone thought was a weaker viking that never fit in but became the last great hero the Wilderwest has ever seen.

And.. that's it! Now the hard part is waiting and watching...

Dear oh dear is it gonna be hard.
