Description So *AvannaK requested a sketch of my version of sequel!Hiccup. Quite a charged question, since I don't really know what I want , except that he still retains his original personality. It ended up bigger than a sketch, because I wanted to explore this concept. It was a challenge to age a character, consciously. I still need to practice people like there's no tomorrow. But I like how this came out! I made an earlier drawing ([link] ) which had Hiccup with a bow and arrow, which I kind of like, so I added that to him here. I guess the big difference visually between my version of sequel!Hiccup and someone else's would be the lack of a beard or longer hair. idk, I wouldn't mind if I see those on him (except the beard. o.O), but my ideal version would be a basic aged-up version of original Hiccup. Simple and sweet.

EDIT: Aaaaaand looks like the leaked pictures of sequel!Hiccup thus ends the guessing game. But I'm happy with it! He's just a simple aged-up version, no beard, no long hair, no muscle LOL. He's still adorable and cute -- and handsome now! He does have shape in his body, and he's more realistically proportional. And the outfit, LOL, bows and arrows my Viking foot. He's going all steampunk and video-game awesome.

It would be so cool, if Hiccup has a bow in the sequel! Very good picture of him!
And I love how he looks in the sequel! I haves seen the photos of him.

Yeah I know, bows and arrows look really cool. But I think Hiccup is far too advanced for such old school weapons. There's too much steampunk on him!

Well, that's true. Bow and arrows are too mainstream for him! Maybe he makes his own weapons!

Make his own weapons -- I absolutely believe that's what he did. He made his whole outfit, he just can't help himself.

If these still images can cause so much uproar, I might have to take serious cover for when the first trailer is out.

Haha, I know I just commented on tumblr, but DA is so much better for comments.

What I didn't say there was that I also love the hand. I don't know why, but they are SUCH a pain for me to draw that I always admire hands in art that pulls them off. So ten points to you for that! And, like I said on tumblr, those were some pretty nifty weapons you chose. Your weapons-of-choice did strike me as a fun coincidence since I know you haven't actually read Hitchups, where he practices with both. At first I thought you might have given them to him because I was the one who requested the picture, but then I read your description.

I don't know if you know this, but apparently it's bad for the wood of bows to be strung like that all the time, which is why they're typically strung just before use. It's something I learned when writing my story from some very informative readers.

And that's okay if your version differs from other speculations; we all have our secret (or not so secret) personal preferences. Like you, whether he has a beard, stubble, or clean-shaven, long-hair or short-hair, it's all up to Dreamworks and that's fine with me. We got our younger version of Hiccup, we enjoyed him, but they said they were going to age him, so all I want is them to deliver on that and I'll be happy.

LOL imagine how a mere 9 hours replying back is late.
So... it was good I got this out when I did! Now we can all compare notes LOL. They did kind of went with the simple aged-up ordinary Hiccup. I'm happy with the results! Like I said at a post on Tumblr, he's like the real-life version of animated older!Hiccup, smaller eyes, proportional size, less baby fat.

Anyway, that's SO FASCINATING about bows and arrows. I did not know that! Thanks for the info. I love historical tidbits. And it's funny it's a coincidence with Hitchups. I guess there's only so many places you can go with historical weapons of choice. not so for steampunk!Hiccup's cyber weapons XD And thanks for the comment about the hand! I guess it did turn out pretty good. I get pretty frustrated with hands sometimes, but this came out okay.

GLORY!!!


Becoming A Hero The Hard Way? They always have a main character who turns 'From Zero To Hero' don't they?

Buh... Hiccup with longer hair and a beard might be a little bit worrying

"A Hero The Hard Way" is kind of the tagline of the original HTTYD book series by Cressida Cowell. It's a wonderful theme, that becoming a real "hero" -- caring, merciful, and selfless -- isn't easy but it's always worth it.
