another dragon

(my oc Hiccup the fourth taking on the mantle of searching for the remaining dragons who haven't been told to hide or go to the hidden world. Haven't decided whether it's a girl or boy yet,)

Hybrid of the hypnolur and whispering death this dragon is simply known as 'the ring of eyes' who resides on the rocky shores of outcast island's remains. It buries deep underground with it's head on the surface, it's large eye closed, and the smaller multicoloured eyes glittering like gems in the sunlight to tempt any vikings that dock there. Once they are on top of the singular large eye, the eyeball rolls back in it's head to reveal a gaping hole of whirring teeth, which the viking promptly falls into, and is never seen again. When shot at by dragon or human, It will not outright attack any of them, due to its eye/mouth being a massive weak spot, and will instead flee into outcast island's rocks. Realistically dragon hybrids who are not subspecies of each other would go horribly wrong on average, due to health issues.

(might do this comic on digital when I've fully designed the hiccup)

httyd book redraw

Basically this is if Fireworm and Toothless species looked like they do in the movies, from another short story redraw. (Movie hookfang is a mix of book hookfang, rival MN, and fireworm. Movie toothless is a mix between him and windwalker.) This scene is from a short story where toothless finds some eggs, and has to protect the babies from Fireworm. The text: she hissed at Toothless, looking suspiciously around the room, taking in Toothless’s blackened state, covered in charcoal and goo.

Hiccup as a manga version, a redraw of page ten of The Day of the Dreader, done on procreate, as a digital lineart test. also if anyone wants to colour it, I give complete permission as long as credit is mentioned for the line-art. (If anyone wants to but doesn’t know how, you put this layer on multiply, then use other layers under it.)

if the httyd books were an anime

Basically a redraw of a introduction page of Hiccup.

If Movie Hiccup met Book Hiccup…

It bugs me when people say the HTTYD movies aren't that different from the books because the shows reference the books like all the time but that's stupid because if you put movie hiccup and book hiccup in camp half-blood they'd go in different cabins

Camicazi and Stormfly, Hiccup and Toothless, and Fishlegs and Horrorcow! Finally finished tweaking the designs and made the dragons!!

here you go, do with this as you please

Cressida Cowell is such a writer's name, I swear. It was made to be put on a cover of a story about a little viking boy and his dragon doing stupid shit.

Something about the how to train your dragon books no one talks about is the intense desire you get to be a better person once you finish reading them

I adore the httyd books with a passion but I honestly think twoo is a tiny bit better. My opinion on this does vary but most of the time I truly think twoo had so much to offer. And that's not to say httyd doesn't have as much to offer, I just liked the aesthetic of twoo so much because of all the whimsical magic fairytale vibe. But twoo had so much to offer and no one really acknowledges it. And a lot of the time when they do acknowledg it httyd creeps it's way into the conversation. I think twoo was a beautiful book but it's so underrated it's honestly wild to me.

All I can imagine is a bunch of big square Vikings at the top of a cliff screaming

i think they should animate a book accurate httyd show in a mix of the style of like nimona and voltron and avatar i just think any one of those would work so well

I always thought along the lines of gravity falls or adventure time or something. Or that shitty httyd recap animation. That was awesome I think that style is perfect for it

Everyone I don't like has a htyyd obsession so I ask them if they've read the books and they'll all be like "the my first library picture books that came out around the same time as DOB?" And I'll be like "LOSER! NOT A REAL FAN!" just kidding they don't know about the my first library picture books that came out around the same time as DOB because they're fake fans and posers

Some shitty httyd fanarts I did fir Hiccups birthday

ITS THE 29TH OF FEBRUARY TODAY HAPPY BIRTHDAY HICCUP!!

Someone needs to give Lil boy a mullet.

“Old Wrinkly, Camicazi, and One Eye sat at Hiccup’s bedside. One Eye didn’t seem as happy as he might have been two days ago at the thought of one less Human in the world. A big tear rolled out of his one eye and down his Saber-Tooth and plopped onto the ground.” - How to Cheat a Dragon’s Curse HTTYD Book 4 Cressida Cowell

I can just imagine Toothless, when he stopped licking Hiccup’s face, going over to One Eye and trolling him despite his master about to die. (Based on that one Harry Potter meme with Dumbledore and Snape iykyk)

"I ship Hiccup and Camicazi!"

Here's a Camicazi before I continue re-reading the books🔥

Book 7 gave me nightmares as a kid about getting taken by Norbert the Nutjob and sold into the Viking slave trade and I was petrified of Bearcub's grandma

we always specify the difference between the earlier books and the later books in the HTTYD franchise as "books 1-7 are whimsical, fun child fantasy and books 8-12 are absolutely fucked" but... i don't believe that's true.

the later books are consistently fucked up and complicated and mature and wonderful and tend to leave me with tears in my eyes. the early books trick you into believing that they're fun children's stories and then jumpscare you with the most messed up set of paragraphs you've ever read in your entire fucking life AND THEN just pretend like nothing ever happened.

the books all take place in the same universe, the same fucked up, horrible world. the early books are through the lense of a child who hasn't yet grasped how fucked up the world is, who hasn't been exposed to the fuckery yet. the later books are through the lense of the same child who has now been burdened with Knowledge. once you have the context of the later books, the earlier books start to make too much sense. and holy fuck do they get a lot darker upon reread.

the books are all completely fucked up. the only difference is the consistency at which the books are fucked up.

you know what book seriously messed me up as a kid? book 2. DEAR GODS BOOK 2.

If you were a dragon, what kind would you be?

I feel so cringe for saying this but I related a lot to Toothless and Horrorcow but if you're talking about movies I'd like to think I'd be a nadder :')

ok ok wait have you listened to the audiobooks? cause they’re awesome. also do you have a favourite hhtyd book + why?

I absolutely adore how to speak dragonese because I love Camicazi's introduction to the story and I think the plot and dialogue was great. I also loved the audiobook for how to speak dragonese because I think Hiccup's dialogue was voiced and acted out perfectly

If I had a nickel for every time Hiccup got knocked out by something falling on his head while on a sinking boat I'd have two nickels. Which isn't much but it's weird that it happened twice, right?

There are people in the httyd community that I feel are famous to a degree and I follow them so when they like my posts about the yttyd books I get really excited and I feel like I'm getting a handshake from the prime minister

Do yall think if Hiccup from the httyd books met Atreyu from the never ending story they'd get along?

Can we just talk about the parallels between Hiccup and Termagant in book 10. The epilogue where Termagant is described as being separated from Fishlegs by a wall of glass, and she presses her hand against it and wills him to live and breathe again.

How earlier Hiccup had found Fishlegs in a pillar of glass, and they pressed their heads together, before Hiccup broke him out, helping Fishlegs to live and breathe again.

HICCUP AND TERMAGANT BEING COMPARED IN A WAY THAT MAKES THEM IDENTICALLY IMPORTANT TO FISHLEGS!!! I AM THROWIMG MYSELF INTO THE SEA!!!!!!
