All the dragons from the HTTYD stream. Detailed images below.
The designs from the original movie are basically perfect, which is why I didn't really dare to touch them... until a certain trailer dropped recently.
I'm a spiteful creature.
Anyway. Some ground rules. I tried to make these creatures overall a little bit more realistic and grounded without robbing them of the inherent whimsy that the originals had. All of them are tetrapods, so only 4 limbs max.
Nightfury
These guys have no more functional limbs to move on the ground. They are living stealth bombers. Silent fast fliers.
On the ground they flop around similar to seals, forming small colonies on top of tall cliffs.
Red Death
At a certain size it becomes unfeasible to fly for even a dragon. The Red Death stays on the ground using it's heavy armor and enormous size when raiding other dragon nesting colonies. it'as wings are more like spurs, to injure rivals in combat.
Gronkle
The original had a hummingbird style in flying , something that doesn't work for an animal of this size. My compromise is to make the wings rather stout and being able to be folded a lot.
Nadder
Easiest design, take a unfeathered theropod and combine it with a bearded dragon.
Shellfire
This was the last one I made on stream, it is one of the (in my eyes) worst designs from the shows, so a nice challenge to make it work a little better.
This guy is now a filter feeder, using its large horns to funnel water into its mouth.
Zippleback
Multi-headed dragons are really tricky. In my design I made one of the heads a parasitic male, similar to angler fish, that hitches a ride on the back of the larger female.
Monstrous Nightmare
One of the most classic dragons from the original movie. Lots of crocodilian influence here. The osteoderms on its back have pores from which it produces flammable secretions.
Razorwhip
A fast an agile dragon, but the original doesn't really show that in the head shape and all these spines don't help. I put some tapejarid influence into it.
Rumblehorn
The massive neck of this dragon doesn't work well in terms of aerodynamics, unless it's an inflatable display structure ;)
Whispering Death
The giant maw of this dragon is an even greater challenge, but when you give it the gular pouch of a pelican eel and turn these eyes into eye-spots, it works quite well.
And of course the Terrible Terror!
As you can see it's in my case a close relative of the nadder.
#these are sick as hell#favorites are the whispering death and the gronkle#love how well you captured the original style while still making it somewhat realistic#incredible job op!#httyd#dragons

I JUST SAW THE ACTUAL TRAILER FOR THR LIVE ACTION HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON MOVIE AND I NEED TO PHYSICALLY FIGHT SOMEONE
#Abby I think the word you’re looking for is CHEAP#they went the cheapest option in every direction#cgi dragons so they could just reuse the rigs#recreating shot for shot so they can reuse assets#cheap ass costumes that look like they were bought off amazon#I can guarantee you nobody gives a shit about historical accuracy in this film#I’m pretty sure they reused the script too#it looks so bad on all accounts idk how they’re gonna get people to watch this#they dug themselves into a hole with the last movie by ending the story but that’s another conversation

EVERYONE NEEDS TO LOOK AT HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON UNTRAINABLE THE STAGE PLAY RN
#ok the dragons look amazing of course but people are not paying enough attention to the COSTUMES#look at how Astrid’s outfit is painstakingly recreated from the original down to the texture on the shirt!#Hiccup’s boot made to look like his prosthetic!#THE HAIR#the whole time I was watching the live action trailer I was just asking ‘why’#the dragons look exactly the same because they’re basically the same rig just a higher resolution like what was the point#I would have forgiven the stiffness of movement if they had used animatronics and suits like this#it’s just like Jurassic Park! it could have been amazing!!#it’s not like there aren’t people who WANT to make this stuff just execs who don’t wanna pay for it#I’m actually upset now#httyd

A new scene, flooded ruins of amphitheatre. Eh, overdid it with the waves. Carved shell fragments, stone, quartz sand and resin in a spisula shell.
