Description Pushing more developing this face-steal technique.

Manipulated and Spliced and added hair and clothes and shifted features type of deal to get a pretty hilarious vision of Icky, my version of Astrid and Hiccup's youngest spawn - repeating a deju-vu of his father's.

Do you guys like how this technique looks? I haven't had that much feedback but for a few, though if stalking *AvannaK whom I taught the technique, I see lots of people are liking it...

Hahaha - that is definitely the Sim who started the grill fire. Poor Icky! This is so reminiscent of Hiccup. I love your face shaping (that's such a great model!) and the crinkle details of the clothing. I think you could outline his eyes a bit more, his eyelashes seem invisible. Though that is also a trait of the gingers as I hear.

Yeah his facial features got washed out when I added the singing, also since it's a wider shot, not a head shot the eyelashes are less focused but I'll try to make it a bit darker, probably no individual eyelashes though. It's true gingers have very light lashes, my mother was one.

That model actually HAS red hair, google 'toon marten(s?)' he has poofy lips though like most male models but as an appreciator of freckles you will dig his natural freckles.

Wow! You really did a nice job of blending a fantastical creature like a Terror (albeit with the HTTYD realistic reptile features) into a real human. This was really nice, partly because it is so subtle. The dragon sits in the right proportion to the human, and the two seem to blend together naturally.

It's images like this that make your stuff so incredible. You can blend themes together and make them work together and look real.

This was amazing. It's a subtle image, but that makes it all the more powerful.

Thanks for the feedback fjord!

That Terror is the spliced bi-product of an iguana and the movie official version, and I had to put clothes on him too, the ref was being all skinny and shirtless but I figured it get drafty. I'm glad it looks pretty seamless to the eye, it's really fun to look at, and I think it is that subtlety you spoke of

It looks really nice, especially the texture on the shirt.

To say nothing of his expression,

thanks! Burlap is always a good choice for viking clothes texture And his expression is mostly bewildered to say the least.

thanks! I originally manipulated an iguana head but decided to use the actualy terror head but manipulate it to cock it's head to the side.
