November 1 2023/31 October 2022. As you can see, I haven't developed much in backgrounds. And there is no chiaroscuro on the new Art, because I drew it somewhere at twelve at night, and my mother told me to go to bed.
Sketch of design of Hiccup's winter clothes.
As a resident of the cold region of my country, it just freezes me out that none of the characters wear warm clothes when it's cold. Although, according to Hiccup and shown in the tv series and the short film, they live in a very cold climate. But no one even thinks to put on a winter hat!
They have a freaking winter there, but they all wear their usual clothes. But they must catch all possible frostbite and colds!!! And Hiccup, the twins and Astrid should be shivering from the cold because of their thin physique (I'm telling you this as a thin one).
And it seems like in some official comic book their warm clothes were shown, here's Hiccup as an example, but damn, even this doesn't look like very suitable clothes for winter. So I decided to give the riders (well, their fifteen-year-old versions) winter clothes, since their parents can't. The designs are filled purely with my vision and headcannons.
In short, I think Hiccup would have dressed the warmest of the gang. Well, Stoick would have forced him to dress very warmly, believing that his weak and skinny son could easily freeze to death or the wind could easily knock him down.
Sketches of Asha's and Starboy's redesigns for my au (well, or the rewrite, I don't know). I wanted Asha and Starboy to contrast with each other. Asha symbolizes the starry night sky, and Star, well, the star (it sounded more beautiful in my head). And speaking of the Starboy. I want to make him more feminine.
A tiny redesign of Octavia.
I don't mind her original design, except that she dresses too loosely for, well, a princess whose mother is concerned about what others might think, and, probably, that she looks like an almost identical copy of Stolass. I didn't work too hard on her redesign, I just put Via in a simple dress and tried to make her a mix of both her parents, not just her father.
Maybe in the future I'll try to do a more complete redesign.
I probably should have made myself clearer. Yes, Twilight should have apologized to the fan for yelling at him, but this fan should have apologized to her for violating her personal space. But he didn't do it. That's why this episode infuriated me.
And by the way who did you mean by "He"? A fan?
My most hated trope in mlp is that Twilight is justifiably angry at something, but she is wrong and in the end she should apologize.
Are Twilight's friends acting irresponsibly and childishly while all their friends and family suffer in slavery? Twilight is such a meany that she was the only one who was serious and tried to take at least some action to save Equestria 😡. Does her annoying fan follow her around and disrespect her personal space, although it's obvious that she's uncomfortable with it? Well, it's her own fault that she didn't say she didn't like it (it sounds very much like victim blaming), so she needs to apologize to him for yelling at him, duh 🙄.
I f#cking hate this trope so much, you can't imagine.
Sometimes I wonder what Astrid's name would be if her parents followed the tradition of Berk — giving children disgusting names to scare off trolls (or goblins, I don't remember)? Axegirl? Sharpthorn?... Skullcrasher?...... uh...... Asstrid?
I'm sorry, I can't make up names.
Okay, here's another redraw. I tried to make Sunny's tail like in the movie, but I failed. Yeah. But I really like Hitch.
Oh? What's it? My httyd oc?
Well yes, it is!
The weirdo of the Berk. A quiet girl, from whom you can't even get a word. And who's always disappearing somewhere. The only people she interacts with are her father and her older brother. A remarkable fact: one day she pushed Snotlout down the stairs of the Great Hall (fortunately, he survived) for unknown reasons.
Silje dreams of literally becoming invisible and minding her own business. If only there was a dragon that could turn invisible (wink, wink), right?
(Sorry if her description sounded edgy and cringey. I just don't know how to briefly and clearly describe the characters).
Astrid is in the dark? in the void? Idk. Decide for yourself.
Redesign Opalin! Her design is not that bad, I like that she has pointy ears and horn, her shackles(?), but it freezes me that her palette is very bright. If you look at the art where she just reduced the brightness, then she looks better! So I decided to make her a little darker, change her accessories, make her mane like the other alicorns, and add elements of fire (she's still a fire alicorn). I like the idea that she should have a fiery mane, but due to a lack of magic, the mane became like this.
