Description I MADE IT!!! Just by the skin of my teeth!

OK, this is my contest entry for the How to Train your Dragon Viking and Dragon OC contest. Featuring my Viking alter ego, Dagny, and her dragon, Brede, a White Terror (artist's note: I plan to make a Dragon Manual page for this species), that appeared in my HTTYD meme: [link]

Local bard, herbologist, and part time bread maker, Dagny spends her days gathering useful (and tasty) herbs and spices, occasionally adding them to her breads, and reworking songs by far more talented bards to fit domestic situations. Her dragon, Brede, is a breed of dragon relatively new to Berk. His kind originate from the far North, only moving south during the bitter winters, where Berk is (slightly) less cold.

And, yes, they are fighting over a fish. That's right. If I were a Viking, I would totally fight a dragon for a fish. Especially salmon, yum! But, as you can see, it's all in friendly competition.

From what I've seen, I've got some stiff competition, so wish me luck, and to all of the other contestants, good luck to you as well!

EDIT: Wanted to see how this would look with different coloring styles:

Cel-shading, black lines:

Opinions?

EDIT #2: Decided to change the dragon's name to Norman. Means "northman", apparently. Seems fitting, and I like it better than Brede (meaning "glacier").

May Vickings and Dragons remain free. Especially from the Roman Empire.

The Roman Empire would make the Dragons slaves, and treat them they way they treat all animals.

Deadly Nadders would be for Roman Cavalry( A Roman Air Force)
Monsterus Nightmare(Collosum beasts)
Terrible Terrors/Grunkles(Food/Shoes or Sacrifices)

May they never conquer Berk!

Your categorizations of the dragons in the Roman Empire makes quite a bit of sense. May they never conquer Berk! Actually, history tells us that what is now the northern part of the U.K. actually fought back against the Romans and kept them away. So I think the citizens of Berk can take of themselves pretty well.

Yes Scottland has always been defiant, neither Romans, Saxons, nor English could conquer it.

Dreamworks Animation created a fantastic new world. I know its based on books but they made a whole new story thats just plain beautiful! I really like how this is what a Dragon and a its owner should be.

She and The Dragon are doing what Dragons do, having a tug a war over a Fish. Very sweet!

Thank you for your sweet comment.


Yep, I figured that, once the Vikings and Dragons had settled into coexisting, they might engage in some good natured fish tug-o-war. Seems like something they would do, you know?
