This was the first gouache painting I tried to do back in December. I really loved painting the Windwalker’s wings as feathered so I think I’ll keep that idea around!

Very quick sketch of windwalker. The tiny toothless next to him is making me laugh

I’d love to do some more animating of windwalker

I’m also doing this instead of my uni work but that’s fine right

Hopefully it's still February 29th somewhere in the world :] Happy Birthday, beloved Hiccup

You ever think about how snotlout died on Windwalker's back. You ever think about how Windwalker let Snotlout ride him in a last ditch effort to save Hiccup, against Hiccup's own orders. That's the first time we ever see him deliberately disobey Hiccup, isn't it? You ever think about how at the end of book 11 Windwalker thinks Hiccup is also dead. You ever think about how at the beginning of book 12 Windwalker is so tired he's falling asleep in the sky, implying he didn't sleep at all between books 11 and 12. You ever think about how Windwalker streaked after Snotlout's body like a feathery black comet.

You ever think about how he used to be a Lava-Lout slave, and that might not have been the first time a human died on his back

The instagram reposting concludes. As stated in the first post, not all instagram posts are being moved here. Check out the Linktree if you wanna see more of the art.

Depicted are Hiccup and Windwalker from the How to Train your Dragon bookseries, fleeing from a dragon's fury. I reread it recently, and it was good. Highly recommend.

Windwalker's design was inspired by a number of things, including peregrine falcons, horses, carcals, great horned owls, and pelagornis sandersi.

The other dragons in the books were also very interesting in terms of design. I'm not opposed to trying my hand at making my own interpretations of them.

OR!

Toothless and The Windwalker meet!

As always, commissions open (link in pinned post)

For these purposes The Deadly Shadow is one character. It would be really hilarious if I spent three poll slots on Arrogance, Innocence, and Patience, though. I almost did put Horrorcow on there twice...

eggfly and maybe blue moon?? still figuring him out

Thinking about redrawing this digitally, but here's a picture of my favorite scene/the scene that always makes me cry in the httyd books. How to betray a dragon's hero is my favorite book in the series, largely because of Snotlout's role in it (but there are other great scenes as well).

The instruments I think httyd book character would play and how based on vibes alone

Hiccup = took 1-2 years of piano, realized he hated it and switch to the violin. 

Snoutlout = lets his anger out on the drums

Camicazi = rocks out on electric guitar WAY too loud.

Fishlegs = my boy collects instruments like Pokémon. You can hand him any instrument, no matter how obscure and he’ll have a decent melody in less than an hour.

Stoick = told himself that he would learn to play the guitar, bought a guitar, and never did learn. He still has the guitar gathering dust somewhere.

Gobber = playes the bagpipes and horn 

Toothless = plays the triangle but instead of making music, he just hits it very loudly. Same thing with the tambourin.

Stormfly = mostly considers herself a vocalist. Learned exactly ONE impressive sounding song on the piano she can show people, but can’t actually play anything else. 

Alvin = can play the accordion technically but never does it in public. He can also strum out a few really basic songs on the guitar that he learned to “woe” Termagant. 

The witch = plays flutes made out of bone. Specifically and only out of bones. 

Thuggary = plays the trumpet and has been tasked with playing the war drums at least once. Plays his trumpet whenever Hiccup walks in like a dramatic herald. Hiccup has tried getting him to stop. He will not. 

Furious = He screams into a microphone. Does that count?

Windwalker = can play the harp pretty well, but nobody ever asks him to so he doesn't

I love the little group of misfits we got to see at the beginning of book ten!
