Description
Alright, now I think I'm being a smartass with the titles, lmfao.As I said, I colored an older!Hiccup to coincide with older!Astrid : [link] So here it is.
Uuuuuuhmm, well, there really isn't much to say. Hiccup fills out just a little bit more, but he's still slender compared to Snotlout or Fishlegs--basically the same figure I've been giving him except maybe a little bit more muscle, but I don't know about that. He doesn't become chief until he's about 35-40 because Stoick is a tank so I don't think he would step down for awhile, but Hiccup's been in the chief-training business since he was 18-years-old. Yeeeah, so here he's almost 40, and he's chief now, but to show for his age I had smidgin's of grey in his hair but the texture kind of ruined that D:
It's so different to draw aging characters. It's interesting to see how they look when they're older

HOW THIS NOT END UP IN MY FAVES?!
Such a nice style of how you drew the clothes! I also like how he was colored. It's as if the texture that you made for the drawing makes it look like those old drawings on parchment paper. Well done!

Very nice work His clothing looks great, and very age-appropriate. (I especially like the bit of armor/silver peaking out from the slit in his tunic. Nice homage to Stock (the tank
)'s usual garb.) Also, I'm no quite sure why, but I just love his pose. It really seems natural and captures what I imagine an older Hiccup to be like. I mean, we already see moments when he stands a little straighter, a bit prouder, but still adorkable in the film (particularly in Gift of the Night Fury(
)), so this pose (to me) is wonderful!
I love your depiction of Astrid as well (that deep red looks gorgeous on her).

Thank you so much! And it's funny that you mention his pose because when I was drawing this, I had his right hand (our left) on his neck with his left hand the same and I couldn't get it right. So I experimented with different poses and I came up with this one and I thought to myself "this is an intellectual pose", jokingly. I thought he looked older and more comfortable in this pose so I kept it

You're most welcome^^I think and intellectual pose suits Hiccup quite well
(And on a side note, have you been enjoying the snow? I'm happy it's sticking to the ground now MN ftw
)

I have been enjoying the snow, actually I'm usually a fall/spring person, but I'm glad the snow is sticking around, though it gets ungodly freezing in the morning D: I like the snow up until after New Year's, after that it looks like nasty dirt on the side of the road, hahaha. omg are you Minnesotan too, omg omg

That's great^^ I usually like late spring-summer best (because my allergies don't act up then), but I'm more excited than usual about winter this year
Yeeeesss, it's getting so frigid outside! I might have to break out my big, puffy-tastic down jacket soon
So true. Crisp, white snow is the best, especially when it's hanging on tree branches^^ (Oh ya, you betcha'
Minnesotan and proud of it^^)

Dude, me too. Like... I don't know, I'm really excited for winter, haha. Maybe it's because I FINALLY get to learn to snowboard this year. Its so sad that I've lived here pretty much all my life and I don't know how to snowboard--what's up with that?! I've already broken out my puffy coat, hahaha. It's been like a month. It's awesome to meet another Minnesotan!! I haven't found anyone yet, so this is cool Do you live around the cities?

HOPE for snow?! You crazy person, you, I'm dreading the stuff. Mostly because it's likely to fall at exactly the right point to stop me getting home for Christmas.
AnyHOO, this us yet another lovely, understated, sumptuous drawing from you, and I am starting to feel spoiled! XD Keep it up nonetheless, I love your HTTYD art...

Hiccup is always cute! But now he's no longer jailbait when he's older, so that's why lolololol. I love his beard. I just love beards in general.
