Description
I have said this before and I will say it again...I. HATE. HANDS.
They have got to be the biggest pain in the ass things to draw. I tried so many times and this piece of crap was the best I could come up with.
I have to read a few more art and anatomy books. The background... eh.... I did what I could to make it look like a forest. I'm starting to think that I should stick to traditional artwork for a while since I can't get the digital stuff to come out the way that I wanted it to.
This is a little gift to Avannak for her story 'Hitchups' [link]
Which just so happens to be the best HTTYD fanfic EVER!!!!
I made some improvisions here with Hiccup. I added some decorations to his braids from his travels, sort of redid the typical Hungarian shirt and gave it a more Eastern look since he's going close to Istanbul (I checked on a map the directions he got in the last chapter), the bow I left it plain cause I don't know what his bow will be like when he gets it.
Pretty much he's about to fight. And trust me when I say this pose was HARD to get halfway decent.
I'm going to bed now seeing that it's morning and I'm out of soda. Good night...or morning... whatever, I'm going to go to sleep now.

I don't think they'll get a physical beating, I'm pretty sure that Hiccup is just going to give their egos and pride a bbeating

Gaaah! Thank you Thank you Thank you! 
This is so awesome! Look at all the arm muscles and the collar bone and the neck! I love collarbones and necks
I love the trim on his shirt; you were paying attention! It's so shiny!
I'm actually slowly doodling a pic in his Magyar clothes as well (though I like yours better than what I came up with, fashion isn't my specialty) and I have to say--I hate hands too
You did a great job for trying to get across pulling a bow back. I would never try that in a million years for fear of putting a hole through the paper. You also did great with the pose--another thing I'm too scared to try.
Don't worry about that background; its abstract, in a way, and definitely gives off the forest vibe. Forest was the first thing I thought of
It's actually good that you put decorations in his braids because he has them! I haven't gotten around to mentioning it yet, but there are beads tying off the ends of them.
Fanks again sooooo much!

You like it? Really? YAY! I'm not a total failure as an artist!
I actually looked up some of the fashion styles of Hungary at that time period and then just simply made the lower part more Asian in design just because I think it looked good on him...
My dignity was some thing I abandoned a long time ago...
Abstract is the best way to go when you have no clue what the hell you're doing, at least it came out so that it does have the 'forest' vibe instead of it being a bunch of green mush spashed together with digital paint.
With the braid I figured he would get the decorations as gifts from the different places he's been as well as the feathers. I added feathers as well but you can barely see them unless you look closely and again they are gifts from friends he met along the way. Either way they look cool.
I'm so happy you like this. I really can't wait to see what happens next. And just so you know it took all of my self control not to start drawing Hiccup shirtless with a bow like you mentioned in the last chapter... I'm still debating whether that's a good thing for my pride or a bad thing just because...
Hell with it I'm going to get started right now!

I can't wait! I'be been trying to guess what the creature is, is it a basalisk?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, no, nothing quite so large. Not all that dangerous either (but don't tell her that)

Is it a wolf? or maybe a tiger?
