Description Haven't tried this painting style in a long time. I used references, mostly for the pre-inks and pre-color sketches, and for the colors.  I love aged Hiccup!

This is my first HTTYD fanart. Most peeps do Toothless, and that's okay cuz he's adorable, but aw man Hicc deserves some love too! =^__^=  I just really wish I had done this at a higher resolution. Didn't notice I was sketching so small!

Hiccup belongs to Dreamworks. Art © Julie Drohan

Glad you enjoyed!!! Whenever I tell people to see it I always say "You will cry... TWICE." I didn't, but I had to hold back a little bit :3

No. Only the wisest humans know that there are times appropriate for displays of all emotions. UwU  ..or something like that 👍: 0 ⏩: 1

I wanna see the 2nd movie so bad! Also WOW! It's normally quite a challenge to draw CGI characters in 2D, but you've done an insanely awesome job on it! Its like how the movie would look if it was traditionally animated! Bravo x20!

DUDE SEE IT!!! It's SOOOOOO good!!!!! Oh my gosh, it's just as good as the first movie, I'll say!

It was pretty difficult, lol! Thanks, Fathom!

Man it'd be cool to see how it'd look in 2d ;D

That's what everyone says and it makes me want to see it even more!!!

Well it certainly looks like your hard work payed off! You're very welcome! ^^

Indeed! I still think Disney should ditch the CGI and continue making traditionally animated movies. Like, yeah CGI looks okay and yeah its cheaper, but traditional is a dying art form these days. (Hence why I want to become a traditional animator) :<

Yeah, totally!! I LOVE 2D and miss it SOOO badly. 3D was cool when.. y'know... it was all Toy Story and brand new and all, but now it's just old 9__9  Traditional just has that.. Life that 3D misses.

(Though HTTYDragon isn't Disney, it's Dreamworks, lol!)

Indeed. Theres just something special about it that makes it so much more appealing. c:

Haha, I know. XD I just used Disney as an example because they were Traditional for about 70 years and have now completely switched to cgi while Dreamworks has pretty much been cgi from the start.

Ah, I see. Sweet! Yeah... Except Dreamworks did do those beautiful couple of films... Prince of Egypt, The Road to El Dorado, Sinbad (childhood favorite), etc. And then... Shrek happened... O.O

Viva 2D!! I feel like our generation of animators enjoys 2D animation a lot, so maybe we'll have a two-dimensional renaissance!!

Ooh, I really hope so! Thatd be a dream cone true! :3
