For a long time, I was confused by the fact that Stolas, knowing how abusive his wife is, quite calmly lets Octavia see her.
And then, when he found out that Stella had hired a hitman to kill him, he didn't discuss it with his daughter (and didn't make this fact public at all, although it was very necessary. Like, seriously, who stopped him from saying at the trial that Stella tried to kill him?).
Like, you stupid owl, don't you realize that by not telling your daughter about how dangerous her mother is, you're putting her (Octavia) in danger? After all, if Octavia doesn't know that Stella can harm her, that makes her (Octavia) a very easy target.
And again, an example of what a «good» father Stolass is.
In fact, I've been tinkering with this design for a long time because I didn't know what to choose. I wanted to come with something original, but at the same time, I really liked the official concept arts of winter clothing.
And in the end, I did it, but I didn't really like it, and I decided to draw a new one, but I scored and just finished off the details, and now you can see the final design at the beginning of the post.
And I'm still not too happy with what I've drawn, but I don't really care anymore.
Okay, let's get to the official designs. In GOTNF, Astrid, like all the other characters, does not wear winter clothes, which is unfortunate. In the second film, she wears quite warm clothes, but there are still bare areas. Concept art: All the designs are very beautiful and cute, but there are still bare areas of skin, and I don't want my girl to freeze.
My design: I thought the Hoffersons had a bunch of different animal skins, and some of the animals went for warm clothes, like a bear, which serves as Astrid's cape.
(A year after the release of her debut episode, I know).
It was... It was a challenge, I tell you. At first, I wanted to make her just a queen bee, but I decided to take the courage into my fist and leave her a hybrid. But now a hybrid of a eristalis and a dog (or to be precise, a borzoi/doberman). Because it's strange to me that hounds (which mostly look like dogs) descended from the fox-bee.
Fun fact: There is literally lava inside her, which helps her to eat so much and not gain weight. Although, due to the fact that the food burns very quickly, as soon as it touches the tongue, Bee does not have time to enjoy it. So it's never enough for her. And yes, it's better not to kiss her, otherwise there is a risk of burning from the inside.
And that's how high she is.
I don't have any problems with the design of Cadence, except, probably, how casual and relaxed her hairstyle looks (yeah, Tia and Luna also have loose hair, but Idk, since their hair is fluttering, I don't have a similar issue with them).
Drew quick sketch with Hiccup in a dress, just cuz. Maybe I'll draw other riders in dresses.
I like the doll, but not the outfit. It looks ridiculous. Especially in comparison with concept art, the outfit in it looks really like what a pop star would wear. The problem with the final version, as for me, is in the shade of pink, boots and sleeves. Pink is too bright and there is too much of it on accessories, silver boots would look better, and sleeves... They just look ridiculous, okay? And so, this is a normal doll. Waiting for even more new Catty.
I'm not even talking about the cases where Toothless is a human (which is still very strange to me, because despite everything Toothless remains an animal in the original franchise), namely those where Toothless is a dragon and Hiccup is a human... Ew! I just don't understand such people (and don't want to understand them).
Edit: *unironically ships. I meant to say unironically. I only noticed it because of King-mera. Thanks to her.
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.
An old sketch in which I tried to redesign Beelzebub and Asmodeus.
At that time, I wanted Bee to be a bee (no pun intended), not a hybrid. That's why she's bee here.
LOKI'D!!!
Did you think I'd make full-fledged color art for April Fools? Ha! I'm too lazy for that!
WARNING: A loud scream at the end.
