Description
[edit] Wow... really? This is my most favorited AND commented deviation? Within the first WEEK of being on DA? Well I guess HTTYD is quite the phenomenon right now. (For good reason.) And thanks to the groups for requesting to add my drawing![/edit]I know, I know... *shot*
It's not my fault! I just HAD to draw this instead of inking the next comic pages! I saw How to Train Your Dragon, and how can anyone NOT draw Toothless and Hiccup after seeing it?! AHH! Everything about the movie was wonderful. The simple plot was incredibly character-driven, and the characters themselves were all so perfect in their portrayals. It was funny, poignant, and oh, just...and the animation!
Drawn for my friend Chel with copic/prismacolor markers, faber-pitt pens, and a gel pen. Epic fail on Hiccup's leg.
*spoilerspoilerspoilerspoilerspoiler*
This is inspired by our favorite scene where Hiccup gets out of bed and discovers he didn't quite come out in one piece. It was just so adorable and touching when Toothless helps him hobble away. The little Night Fury is so reliant on empathetic Hiccup to fly (and survive), and now Hiccup relies on him just as much. SUCH a good story. A "children's" film that has the audacity to amputate the limb of their protagonist (what respect for the characters to treat them as REAL people who CAN and DO get hurt when they do crazy things!) and manages to capture the utter feeling of conflict and violence within the dragon/viking world WITHOUT shedding a drop of blood on screen automatically wins my full respect and my heart.

They made his leg get severed so that he could get a stronger bond with toothless, since they both had lost a body part, for toothless,part his tail, for hiccup, his leg. So they would be equal.

aw man I was bawling at this point of the movie. when Gobber said "Most of him" I thought "wait...what do you mean most of him?" and at first i thought Hiccup lost the lower half of his body XP.

i never understood why his leg was severed...it was a O_O moment

I agree, having him loose his leg made the ending really powerful for what was originally a cute, touching kids' movie, and the shot of them supporting each other to the door where both of their "prosthetics" were visible really hit hard
Nice job on Toothless' scales, but especially his expression of "Don't worry, Hiccup, I've got you

Ohhh, Toothless' colors are pure win! I love his eyes!
Hiccup looks so cute o3o

Well thanks! Markers make it so much fun. XD

Yeah... I'm glad he lost his foot.-not that way-
It tied a nice little bow on the movie for me. (Hiccup relies on Toothless just as he relies on him)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I completely agree. I doubt I would like it as much if it didn't end on that note. It would be too... perfect otherwise. Too much a child's movie. And again, they treated these characters as REAL people who can and DO get hurt when they do crazy things. It added such a realism to this touching story. Guh!! LOVE IT!

I was touched, especially how they are know both disabled on the same side. :3 The word 'brothers' came to mind. I cried so hard.

I still cried watching it the fifth time today. It just pricks you right in the heart.

It really is impossible to not go through an obsessive character drawing phase after seeing that movie. For me it was the twins and the zippleback.
Picture is beautiful! You got a lot of detail on toothless! He deserves that kind of attention. Keep drawing! Go Team![link]

So true! I keep going back to watch it, and man.... I still have the irresistible itch to draw! D: WAH!

want to watch it again to refresh my memory and draw more!

Yah! I've seen it five times now, and I own the soundtrack. Epic win. The score is just amazing.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I KNOW! The music is enough to make me cry! I listen to it all the time and I've been obsessing about for the last month with my english teacher!(we have similar taste in music)
What is your favorite piece on the soundtrack? Mine is either romantic flight or see you tomorrow, though the piano parst in wheres hiccup are amazingly amazing too.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
AAAAAAAAaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!! Another soundtrack enthus! My favorites are "See You Tomorrow" and "Coming Back Around." Oooh and of course "Forbidden Friendship," and I adore "Test Drive." Can't I just like the whole soundtrack? D: I learned to play that piano part. Ugh, so beautiful.
Please forgive me, I'm such a nerd... but you seem like the kind of person who would appreciate random literary analyses!
Perhaps the most interesting thing to me is listening to the interactions of the different melodies and what those interactions imply. There's a lot of weaving of themes, and many many times the Night Fury theme can be heard as a floating, moving violin part underlying Hiccup's songs, especially during the flying theme. There are some fun, pretty oboe parts too. :3 *oboist*
I just love this score. <3 It's so brilliant. There's a LOT of thought that went into it. I really want to write a paper about this movie... Too bad I already have all of my English credits.. D:
Please forgive me for the rant. I'm such a lit/music nerd. D:

I'm just glad that i'm not the only person who has that much to say about this movie and soundtrack! It's great to know that there are other people who are so moved and in tune with music that they can break it down the way that you did! You are a very musically articulate person! I thoroughly enjoyed your rant! I would love to have another when you get the free time!

(If you actually listen to those parts I outlined you'll see what I mean. Oh golly, the composition of the entire film is so cohesive and brilliant.)

I KNOW RIGHT! had a dear about the music last night. i went to see the movie again and ended up just listening to the music with my eyes closed! I actually really enjoyed that!
