Thanks to John, who commissioned this piece of wedding #Rayllum #Rayla in her Moonshadow elf green dress, and I redesigned #Callum’s outfit making the pattern mimicking wings on the edge of his shoulders.I like how this piece came out!
Saying goodbye - animated version
Make sure you turn on the audio! Watching in HD and in fullscreen recommended.

Animation by me
Background sky, lighting, materials, simulations, final rendering and compositing by @nightofthefury-3d
Finally, after more than 5 weeks of work, it’s done. If this scene is familiar to you already, it’s been used in our first fanart… but we thought turning it into an animation might be interesting, and we also used this opportunity to properly test our animation workflows. Since this is technically still a part of the “test drive”, there are some mistakes and issues that could use fixing, but we hope you’ll enjoy this piece nevertheless!
Fun fact: In total this project cost us 12 040 core-hours of rendering. :P
haha I won’t even pretend I know how to draw armor
As you can see, I’ve completely revamped Hiccup’s outfit from what I had before. I liked the idea of Hiccup’s flight suit mimicking dragon scales so I went a bit further and gave him real dragon scales (that Toothless shed naturally, I’m not that evil).
As for Astrid’s armor… I completely made that up as I want along so it needs a lot of work. ha ha ha…
This probably marks the end of my participation in inktober. Sorry. :P
