HTTYD Fanart Gallery #6 – Theme: An Unexpected Style

How to Train Your Dragon fanart, painted and drawn a little differently than you might expect.

Every piece of HTTYD fanart I’ve seen, is influenced by the artist’s unique style. However, one can usually tell that an artist’s own greatest influence when drawing HTTYD fanart, was DreamWork’s main style from the movies.

Sometimes, fanart can also take on a “children’s book” appearance. I enjoy seeing peoples’ fanart, no matter in what style it was created, as long as it’s well-made and still makes sense.
Although sometimes, one comes across something that still looks good, but different-good.

This blog post is all about the fanart that to me stands out, just a bit more than first expected – thanks to its unique style that doesn’t easily remind of the style from the official movie or children’s books.

HTTYD Fanart Gallery #5 – Theme: For the Love of Toothless

Fanart of Toothless, from the movies and TV series! Well, Toothless is my favourite dragon. He’s more than just a super-powerful, fast and rare dragon to look at from afar, but also a dragon who’s willing to reach out and open himself up to those with truly good intentions, rather than just isolate himself completely.
No wonder he’s so popular.

The original book series version of Toothless is a “little” different – being small as a rabbit, green and very naughty, but he too grew on me as I went through the books.
In the book series, Hiccup rides a “Windwalker”, who is a very fast and agile dragon. Hiccup was teased by his peers for choosing the Windwalker as his riding dragon, as they’re supposedly common and “an ugly duckling” when younger.

Team Hiccup and Toothless are certainly popular, but so are the other Dragon Riders and thankfully there’s also lots of amazing art to find of them too!
For today, let’s look at Astrid and Stormfly. Just like Hiccup and Toothless, these two are a formidable force, who work well together and complement each other’s natural abilities and fighting style.
Both dragon and trainer are accurate, fast and prefer sharp weapons over fire or might.

HTTYD Fanart Gallery #3 – Theme: Funny Hiccup & Toothless Moments

The movies had a good deal of fun moments between the Vikings and dragons, and the long-running TV series had quite a lot more.

When the Vikings and dragons in the TV series weren’t learning to work together, or risking life and limb to rescue other dragons, they usually had fun goofing off or were out discovering new things in the Barbaric Archipelago.

These relaxed, fun and adventurous situations have surely helped inspire funny fanart as well.
Today’s blog post is all about fanart showing fun moments and adventures with Hiccup and Toothless.

We’ve begun this blog post with a more mature-looking Hiccup, sporting some manly Viking stubble – now let’s move on to the next picture, where Hiccup was just a boy first discovering Toothless:

HTTYD Fanart Gallery #1 – Theme: Best Friends Hiccup & Toothless

Woo-hoo! To kick off my weekly favourite How to Train Your Dragon fanart compilation, I’m starting with my favourite subject – showing the friendship between Hiccup and Toothless!
They’re such buddies, it’s adorable.

If you’ve watched the HTTYD series, you will have seen all the dragon riders develop the friendship with their dragons, and learn to get along and work together. The thing I’ve especially kept my eye out for, were cute and friendly Hiccup and Toothless (HicTooth) moments – and the series had plenty.

Hiccup and Toothless, happy
Best buddies: DreamWorks A.

Well let’s get things started, and if you have some of your own HTTYD fanart that you’d like to show, or would like to nominate another artist, then by all means head over to the submissions page and send it my way! I’ll be putting older art into my favourite compilations, and posting the favourite latest art as it comes.
