Heyyy a bit different from my usual posts but I've been on a httyd kick lately and you will have to suffer with me. <3 I drew Barf & Belch because they were my favorites when I was little and still are. That first scene with them is engraved in my mind forever.

Whiteboard doodle that started it all. >:C and >:3

Zipplebacks: One Dragon with Two Heads, or Two Dragons with One Body?? (HTTYD)

Hello, everyone. Today, I come to ask you a rather interesting question: Are dragons such as the Zippleback one dragon with two heads, or two dragons with one body?

I just realised this morning that I always had this question but I never thought much about it. But what do you guys think? Let me know in the comments/reblogs. 👀

One of the kids at my work today was pretending to be a zippleback and I have never felt such joy

He then proceeded to try and bite me with both heads

HTTYD Flocking

today on Paleostream we drew HTTYD dragons!!!!

closeups and design explanations/descriptions below:

terrible terror and monstrous nightmare: you'll notice all the dragons arent hexapods, deliberate choice on my end, not much has changed about the terrible terror tbh, it just only has four limbs now, less spikes, longer feet, and a more crown-like horn arrangement.

but ooh the monstrous nightmare lmao, i decided to shrink it down and remove a lot of its spikes, i wanted to make it a sorta chihuahua of dragons, small and feels like it can pick on everything. but relies on its projectile venom to save it. instead of lighting on fire, it lights its enemies eyes on fire by spraying venom from venom glands along its neck, back, and tail at the enemy

for the hideous zippleback, i decided to give them beaks (cause i felt like it) and make it so the double head is an illusion caused by the smaller sessile male who's constantly attached to the female, the female has a smaller crest and horns which makes the male's smaller head but larger features balance out the silhouettes. the male rides on the female's back everywhere being held in place by his claws and her wingtips, i also made the female cursorial because i felt like it again

the rumblehorn, i went for beetle-like wings and elytra-like display feathers, and for the funny i gave it a rhinoceras beetle head, and two toes on each foot

the razorwhip is a really cool design, but i was thinking that it would be a sleek and efficient killer, so i gave it smooth and dark scales that are incredibly reflective, and a parankylosaur macuahuitl. i also gave it bottom tooth-like projections on its bottom jaw

for the whispering death, i made it a derived ray-finned fish because dragons are anything you want them to be (also inspired by Wyatt Andrews' Rodan design). i replaced its eyes with two white bioluminescent display features, and put its eyes where its nostrils usually are and gave it a gulper eel mouth with a loooot of gill rakers to replace the rows of teeth

the red death, i decided to keep its size large, i took a lot of sauropod inspiration from this one. airsacs replaced the posterior two eyes, and i gave it a tail club and tooth-like keratin projections on the lower jaw

we ended with the shellfire, even as a kid i hated the design, at this point i was on four hours of sleep and had been awake for about 12 hours, so i just made an over-sized placoderm with spurs on the side of its head, cause dragons are anything you want them to be

Oh yeah, I guess I kinda missed sketching on paper...

Just quick doodles of the gang

Anyway, more dragons. (Version without the words under the cut)

Man drawing dragons is out of my comfort zone but I adore this franchise too much to not try to get better at it.
