This is great. I do have one question to ask though, may I use the position of Hiccup as a sort of guide to help me a bit, please?
I'm not tracing and if I do post an image up, I will credit you.

Thank you, however I decided not to - I just can't get the lighting right from this perspective as of now. So I sketched up something else from scratch; thanks anyway though.

You even made Hiccup look cuter than in the movie. If I was a teenager I'd so be crushing on your version of Hiccup. ^__~ The shading is gorgeous and WOW the scales on Toothless! So visible yet so perfectly subtle at the same time. ^__^

I don't like how that viking boy took away the freedom that the Night Fury had before. Now he's only a pet. Bad, bad...

They're friends, Toothless isn't a pet ^^' Did you see "Gift of the Night Fury"? Hiccup made Toothless a new tail he could operate by himself but Toothless doesn't want to wear it because he prefers being with Hiccup.

In the movie the viking boy says it clearly: "The upside is the pets". And he treat him like a pet.
The producers obviously are making a story where, apparently, they both loves each other. But, for example, if I were the producer, I would have left the dragons in freedom, in the nature where they are supposed to live. If I would have liked a still ongoing relationship between the boy and the dragon Night Fury, I would have left the dragon visiting him or living near, but never being a pet.
Anyway, I like this movie, don't make me wrong. It has a lot of good points, but I don't like that detail.

You just do not understand something.
"Pets" (at the end of the movie) is just like "Pests" (at the beginning of the movie).
There's a certain play on words specifically implemented into the movie which forms a symmetry between intro and outro sequences.
Actually the dragons were more than just pests (i.e. enemies), just as they have become more than just pets (i.e. friends). This is litotes.
In the movie Hiccup never treated Toothless like a pet. And Toothless is not a pet. They are friends.
Actually this movie is one of the best movies about friendship.
I'm not talking about the series...

I find it sad that, in the end, the dragons lose their freedom. The producers of the movie tried to justify this with the story of friendship between the dragons and Vikings. But that was sacrificing the dragon's life in freedom.

Dragons lose their freedom? Prove that. I do not see that Vikings kept them in village in any ways. They can fly as they wish, as they did in "Gift of the Night Fury".
Also, please describe me, what kind of freedom they had before. You mean that living with tyran and dictator Red Death is better? Live under the constant threat of death is better? You want say that? This is not a freedom. This is slavery.
Hiccup and Toothless killed Red Death and so they set the dragons free. That's a freedom.
You should better analyze the movie.

That's why I say the producers of this gave the dragons an obedient behavior, creating and maintaining a superficially story of "friendship" between the dragons and the Vikings, but in the end, they finished living with them, not in the nature where they belong. And are used as a vehicles.

Why the dragons can not live with the Vikings? What if a dragon wants to live with the Vikings? In the village a lot of food.
It is the choice of dragons. You have no right to decide for them where they should live.
Not all the dragons live in the village, by the way.
What about a "vehicles" - it may be their kind of work (or service). They work and receive food. Because they live in the village. And again, it is their choice. Until it is their choice, I do not see anything wrong. I do not see that they were forced by the Vikings to do it.

It would have been better if the dragons still lived in freedom, but they ended only as docile pets from the almighty man. I think there was no need for that, but well, the producers of this wanted that.

At the end of the movie:
1. The dragons are now free <- They had no freedom before.
2. The dragons are now friends <- Vikings helped dragons kill Red Death.

The dragon lived in the nature before, and in the end they ended as just docile pets under the Vikings'reign.
