Description "It was the most dreadful thing Hiccup had ever seen, and it would give him nightmares until he was an old, old man. It was a face that wasn't a face, no eyes and ears, just that vast nose and slobbering mouth, punctuated by sparkling silver teeth."
Cressida Cowell's How to Be a Pirate

Talking about the Skullions.

I imagined a young Hiccup waking up at the middle of the night because of those nightmares again. (For some reason he just looks like MovieHiccup ). As always, Toothless is laying by his feet. Instead of using his old, broken helmet, I imagine that either Stoick or Valhallarama gave Hiccup a new one (I prefer the idea that his mother gave it to him).

From one side there's light coming from a torch or a fireplace, and from the other side, through the window, the moonlight bathes him. Nevertheless, those memories darken it all around him...



This is the first time I color something in the night and with a special source of light! What do you think? Any suggestion?

Uh by the waaaay! I have the lineart of this drawing, If you're interested in making your colored version of it, send me a note and we'll talk about it

This is a fun picture, and I know well the effect of nightmares lingering in the shadows after you've awoken.

Since you asked for suggestions on how to handle two different light sources, here are my thoughts on it. While moonlight is reflected sunlight, it is not strong enough to appear as a warm light. therefore you can use white, or very light grey, with a suggestion of blue for the moonlit highlights. If you need to represent yellow as the local color then look at the lemon yellows - some of them are on the blue side of pure yellow without being green. To add to the effect, add a little orange to the light that is sourced from a fireplace or torch.

The moonlit side of Hiccup's tunic would be more of a grey than a light green.

As I said, these suggestions are offered because you asked. Don't let them take away from the fact that you already have a strong representation of your idea.

OH MY GOSH THIS IS AWESOME!! Oh I LOOOOVE that you took just that small part from the book--gads there are just so many wonderful excerpts; the artistic possibilities are endless---but this one is REALLY. COOL. Awesome concept, awesome presentation, and I love how the lingering shadows of the Skullions from his nightmares are still swirling all around him.

Awesome.

Thanks a lot! I'm glad you think that and I'm glad you liked it!!!

I agree with you, there are so many phrases in the book that just sound wordeful: they're full of emotion, poetic or even really funny Most of all, they're inspiring.

So, thanks again!
