talked about this AU in these posts

I've spent way too many hours staring at this thing, please behold!

I haven't done digital art in a long time, so I'm trying to see the positives and just take it easy and try to have fun.

some progress pictures under the cut because I really liked the line art stage of this baby (line art is traditional, then scanned and colored digitally)

silly hcs for riders + their dragons

whenever hiccup sketches in a notebook he has to find toothless a stick so he can scribble in the dirt with him

toothless makes biscuits like a cat when he's happy & hiccup says toothless is the best bread making viking on berk <3

astrid will sometimes play with stormfly by hiding in her blindspot in front of her nose & basically play a version of peek-a-boo, which stormfly LOVES

stormfly will chase her own tail like a silly billy & it makes astrid laugh, without fail, every single time <3

snotlout makes sure hookfang's claws & talons are properly sharpened & trimmed always!! & maybe he gives himself a matching mani-pedi!!! it's to stay healthy!!!

hookfang actually enjoys splashing in puddles when it rains & he always nudges snotlout out the door so they can go splash together <3

we know fishlegs is particular about the types of rocks he gives meatlug for her to eat, but sometimes he'll make mosaics using the rocks he has set aside and likes seeing which parts meatlug will eat first

meatlug's different snorts & snuffs are similar to a bulldog & she sounds different depending on what she wants to try & say!! fishlegs def understands her <3

despite her vocal distaste, ruffnut doesn't actually hate belch, & when tuff isn't looking she'll pass a piece of food to barf AND belch

barf likes to snake his head around ruffnut & lift her off the ground, essentially his version of cuddling & she loves it <3

tuffnut sometimes tries to have one foot on barf & one on belch, & they'll try their best to help him with his goal, but they're pretty wiggley

belch will spark when tuffnut specifically gives him rubs right where his head meets his neck, under his chin, & tuff enjoys keeping that between him & belch <3

heather has a special oil to clean windshear's metallic scales!! she even has it smell like herbs, which windshear surprisingly enjoys!!

windshear likes to run her tail up & down her spines on her back & listen to the sounds it makes. it's smth she'll only do when she's fully alone or with heather, & heather will sometimes come up with a little tune to go with <3

dagur has both shattermaster & sleuther & dagur is sooo happy they both get along. dagur jokes & says they're his sons & they're brothers

shattermaster & sleuther will curl up & nap together, & sometimes dagur will flop down on top of them & nap top <3

for eret, skullcrusher took a lot of getting used to, but he completely melted the first time he woke up & saw skullcrusher resting his giant head at the end of his bed with big eyes, begging for breakfast

skullcrusher leans on eret with his head, which means he wants eret to kneel down & bump his head onto skullcrusher's, which for eret was a sign of affection for his tribe, & it makes them both happy <3

New ref for my boy Sleuther :)

Match Made in Valhalla

A very underrated duo to me in RTTE (spoilers) is Dagur and Sleuther.

The way Dagur got both dragons was honestly perfect to me. He started of with a Gronckle because no one in their right mind would give him a dangerous dragon. Then, what does he do? He Dagurs all over the place and somehow makes a Gronckle cool enough to even outmaneuver a Razorwhip. After that, he gets his first already cool dragon. That's fun as it is, but the emotional side makes it so much better.

They're kindred souls. It's possible that Sleuther (or Strykie as I prefer since Dagur always calls him that) used to be less violent before he was captured, but that's not the Triple Strykes we know. We see the one who is ready to kill anyone if he needs to. No hesitation, just violence. Does this not sound like early Dagur? On top of it, they both had adjustment periods with the Riders. Strykie was so difficult for them to train and Dagur still isn't someone you can really tell to not do something if he wants to. Putting these two together shouldn't work. If anything, it should cause them to just be more aggressive since neither really wants to stop, but look at that adorable picture. They're able to understand each other more than the other dragons or Vikings could. As great as Shattermaster was, we didn't see these tender moments between him and Dagur. They were great friends and he was a great starter dragon, but these Dagur and Strykie can relate to the anger they have inside and help keep it down.

We've already seen that Dagur has nightmares. A headcanon of mine is that they both do. Whenever fatigue hits them so much that they can't remain awake to avoid that anymore, one stays guard for the other. When Strykie has a nightmare about his time being forced to fight, Dagur can soothingly wake him up and assure him that he's safe now. When Dagur has a nightmare about (pick a topic. There's plenty to choose from), Strykie is able to do the same.

Also, there's the added cuteness of how they met. Dagur and Shattermaster saved Strykie from getting attacked, then he returned the favor. Strykie is actually the first anything (dragon or character) to choose Dagur, but he did. He waved his stinger and sort of said, "We're friends now." It even took Dagur off guard, but I still think that little moment of Strykie letting him know that he can ride on his back and Dagur realizing that he can is adorable. If I can find an image later, I'll try to add it, but it might have that little search thingy from Pinterest if I can't spot it on Google.

I wish this had been explored some more, so a future fic of mine is going to delve into how they can help one another in these ways. I don't think there's anyone else who could truly get it the way that they would. None of the other humans or reptiles have been prisoners the way that they both have or have done things that would haunt them. Who knows how many dragons Strykie was forced to kill and what mental space he put himself in to be able to stomach it day after day. We already know Dagur has guilt he'll never recover from since he's killed an island + worth of people. Their other friends could support them as they try to change, but they're the only ones who could just look at one another and already know what's being felt because they'd each felt it before too.

My favorite moment in all of httyd rtte is in S3 E8 "Stryke Out" when Hiccup finally gets free from the holding area for the fighting dragons and says "This. Ends. Now!" And the music immediately crescendos as the wild dragons he's spent the episode befriending fly out from behind him to help Toothless and Sleuther

It just makes me so happy

(More in depth about this episode is in the tags but silly lighthearted is what I wanted originally)

Back again with my monthly post, vikings. A lotta things happened over the month, so this got put on hold for a while. I'm going to learn my lesson and start planning more thoroughly ahead. 😅

I didn't know it until now, but apparently I become aimless and distraught when I go too long without so much as scribbling a Dragons character. (/s) I'm really hoping to draw more consistently next year, even if that turns out to mean a quick Vigster doodle every other week.

About the piece itself—I learned to paint clouds! I'm currently waiting for the timelapse to export just so I can count how many times I erased everything and started over. They turned out pretty sweet, all things considered! Hiccup and Heather's silhouettes are my favorite part by far, though. (Extra note: my computer didn't run as horribly this time! Had to give up on preserving my sketch layers, but it's still a win.)

[beebooca]
