Description As soon as I heard this song from my favorite band, Simple Plan, I immediately started thinking that this tells how Hiccup feels about his mom and her death. This song was basically the theme song that I listened to the whole time I was drawing this. Vallarahama died when Hiccup was only seven, that's a really younf age to lose someone's mom and now ten years later he's remembering the last gift that she gave him from when she came back from her very last voyage before she died. This is a happy memory but he still feels sad because he really misses her.

She was the parent that Hiccup was the closest to and she was the one who most likely understood him the most because she probably saw a lot of herself within Hiccup. He is eager to learn and always trying his best no matter what, just like her, and he wants to prove himself. But I think that she understood that Hiccup would not be able t really reach his full potential until he got out of Berk and out in the world where he can really spread his wings. But then she died and there was no one who knew how to handle him.

So, so sad.

The rain took some time but I'm glad I got it down, and I think that it adds a nice effect of sorrow here.

This is another one of my hypothetical scenes for Avannak's AMAZING httyd story "Hitchups" on FF.net and here on DA. More specifically I had Chapter 26 in mind when I did this.

Here's the link to the song ([link] )

is hiccup holding something in his hand? I can't see this picture on my computer.

There something going on on his site. some picture wont come up because of a virus or something. the pics are still here but can't be seen.

Do any of you know anything about that?

Yes, he's holding a necklace that his mom gave him after she returned from her last quest, right before she died.

Yeah, sometimes pictures don't come up, sometimes it's just that one picture or sometimes it's every picture. Just keep trying and if that doesn't work try another computer. I often find that it's my computer.

I love it. I'm staring at it while listen to the song and it just clutches my stomach, and it takes alot to make me feel like crying, and you've come the closest so far, so congrats.
Actually, when you listen to it, it would also make a perfect song for Hiccup and Gudrid!

huh... you're right it does fit for Hiccup and Gudrid... I can't believe I never thought of that...

I can't believe that I came close to making someone cry... I was just hoping to evoke some sort of sympathy, but damn, I came close to tears...

Aww, this is sad. It does seem to be a very "Valhallarama" day. Or maybe it's a Val season. Everyone seems to be drawing her! I like your idea of her giving him one last gift before she died; I think that he's definitely the type to treasure things like that, always throwing sentimental value into anything that calls for it. Awesome job!

Oh, and I really like the curly-horns on her helmet

Thanks for another shout out! Reviews are taking me forever to get through; I've just been so busy otherwise. Replies may not happen for another few days.

I also made this with the idea that Hiccup is afraid that he's starting to forget her. He was young when he lost her and memories tend to blur with age and I think he sort of fears that the only memory that he'll have left of her is of her death, not a very nice memory... He has that necklace (which I think is a topaz or aquamarine because of the pretty blue color) as something to help him remember. Most likely he has almost everything his mom ever brought him back from her voyages in a secret corner in his old room somewhere.

The horns were fun to make, the hat is something she inherited from her dad is my guess. I made her more towards the slender side. I figured I had to make her look a bit different from the typical Berkian woman in order to give her that more exotic feeling since she isn't from Berk. She's more slender but like you mentioned she was the best shieldmaiden of her time and combined with her looks she must of had plenty of guys wanting her. But of course Stoick won (him being future chief and all).

You're welcome! Take your time with the reviews, at least the summer is almost over right?

Okay, I listened to it. I realize now I've actually heard it before, but it was nice to ponder on the words. It does really fit with your picture, and you did a brilliant job bringing the concept of the song to life.

That's pretty interesting. Well, maybe you'll post your song list someday. I hope you let AvannaK know about it. She'd probably like to see what your selections were.

Ahhh, thank you for that!

I recognize almost all those songs. I can see how they would relate to different parts of the story.

The song "Defying Gravity" seems to be a popular one connected to HTTYD. There is a great comic a group of artists made based on the final part of the movie that uses the lyrics from "Defying Gravity"

My copy of "Comic Life" arrived this weekend, so I am toying with making something similar and "Hitchups" related but using the song "Rise Above 2 (Bono and the Edge) from the Spiderman: Turn off the Dark musical.
