Rereading book 1 and I'm surprised horizon hugged peril. Uhhhh, I guess he accepted his fate and wanted some comfort? Page 132
' Horizon beat his tail against the ground,trying to put the fire out, as Peril feinted around him. She darted in to give him another scratch ,but before she could dart away again,Horizon turned and grabbed her forearms in his talons. He threw his wings around her and buried his face in her shoulder with a high- pitched screaming sound.
Peril froze. Smoke billowed off the two dragons and black marks crawled along Horizon's wings until they started disintegrating into ash. He crumpled slowly to the ground,and peril crouched with him,holding him up with her wings'
then he shudders, lets go of peril and flops onto the ground.Scarlet gives him a stern stare and frowned at peril.
So, unlikely ,but maybe giving her comfort as well but highly doubt it. Peril shows empathy in being gentle by holding him up and lowering herself down with him. What's horrifying is the whole thing in general of course but also the fact he is still alive after all that to let go after his wings disintergrate. I'm assuming the reason his body is mostly still there but scorched is that wing membranes are thinner and not as much protective scales. And I never noticed the empathy bit which scarlet noted clearly when I first read. Kinda disturbing that the pain is so bad he would hug the source of burns in his desperation. Idk

(my script is in the alt text if ever the font is hard to read)
I’ve been getting a lot of asks wondering how I go about picking my colors for character designs, pages, backgrounds, etc, pretty much anything about color in general, and I figured in some attempt to try to answer them all at once, here’s my attempt at a color-centric art tutorial! I’m far from an expert on the subject, and I haven’t received any formal training on the matter, so this is entirely constructed of ideas I’ve gleaned from a bunch of snippets of different people’s advice over the years, studying other people’s art, and experimenting on my own to create something that works for me. Nonetheless, I feel passionate about the subject, and I hope this is able to help make color “click!” like a key in a hole for anyone who reads it. I had to discover my key-click moment on my own through trial and error, but i don’t believe in gatekeeping advice, so hopefully I can help you skip the trouble I went through lmfao.
None of this is meant to be like… a shaming or judgmental authoritative truth of “this is how it must always be done! anything outside of my vision is wrong and morally bad! Harrumph!!!” Especially since this is random shit I’ve figured out on my own with no formal training. It’s more just “if you are looking for something to ease your strain, perhaps this might help you give you what you need to have an easier time!” But most of the time I don’t even color my illustrations the way I do in this tutorial. Usually I try to balance & combine these principles with the “standard colors” that a scene is “supposed to be,” like if the ground is a concrete gray and the trees are green, I’ll keep them looking gray and green (depending on the lighting), but with the knowledge of “I want this to be a sad scene, so I’ll make the grays and greens lean heavily closer to blue, so the audience knows that it’s time to be sad.” Stuff like that. They’re cheat codes for strategic intent, not strict rules.
Now hopefully when it comes to covering more specific things, like how I design my characters, you guys now know the baseline foundation I’m running off of so I don’t have to explain all of this first before I get into the nitty-gritty hairs of “why I made this character purple and green vs why this character is blue and yellow” lmao.
Color is a hard subject to explain! Most of the color theory explanations I’ve heard primarily cover stuff like the science of reflecting light, then name drops all the famous kinds of color palettes, tells me what a cool vs warm color is, explains nothing else, and dips. Which, personally, has literally never been helpful for me when it comes to understanding why the fuck my painting should include the color blue in the shadows. Heaven forbid applying any of that shit to character design. Ough. No I had to figure that out on my own lmfao. So therefore this tutorial is more skewed towards that kind of perspective, someone who doesn’t really benefit (at least at this skill level) from the scientific cerebral shit. I want to know the why behind your creative choices!!! Tell me why the curtains must be blue!! That’s what’s important to me on a practical level. Dont get me wrong, I’m sure one day I’ll learn the purpose behind the scientific stuff, I’m sure there’s a reason behind it, but you’ve gotta figure out how to take the first steps at all to begin with before I can get to the master level stuff of like………scientifically understanding how bounce light works. And if we don’t understand why the curtains are blue, I don’t think we’re gonna get why the bounce light should be blue, too. So I wanted to explain it!!! I wanted to cover it!! Because I’ve never seen it explained before!!! And it’s important to know the why!!!
And uhm. Hopefully I managed to do an alright job at that lol. I hope you guys enjoy! <3
Because while I can make separate posts for each of these, my thoughts are running a mile a minute rn and I need to enlist these things I love (also spoilers for series)
Snotlout and Ruffnut and Tuffnut practically have a hive mind that instantly activates when it comes to chaos and mischief. Love how they acted in the Breakneck Bog episode.
Hiccup figuring out Johann due to the twins. This is sooo important to me cuz it shows he listens to them and takes their words under consideration and if I think back, this wasn't the case at the start way back in RoB but he started noticing that there was some logic to their crazy and by rtte he indulges them so much and actually goes along with their ideas and has lecture prepared for the others which are basically 'The twins serve a purpose'. The earliest I can recall of him appreciating Ruffnut and Tuffnut was when they accidentally discovered the proximity glow ability of fireworms which helped save Hookfang.
Gobber. In general throughout the franchise because Gobber is actually a really great character. He's the de facto guardian of the whole gang and their teacher and a listening ear and he has a multitude of skills and a morale that is endless no matter how hopeless a situation gets. He also silently scolded Snotlout back in 1st movie when he was making fun of Hiccup after the raid, disapprovingly pushing him away as he passed him. And his moments of comic relief are humorous but it doesn't bring down how formidable he is or the fact that he is the teens' mentor. Some of his dialogues to add to this: "That Hiccup got farther in a day than we did in a whole month. And we think we're the big strong vikings." "What are ya saying, Gobber?" "Stoick, it's the painting.". — "But, that's the very first sword you made, for yourself." "True. But whoever drove out that outcast boat, deserves her.". — "He gave as good as he got. It took six of those stingers to freeze the poor bugger.". — "Ah ah ah, not so fast. You got yourself into that trap, you need to get yourself out.". — "Do I look like a yak to you?!". — "You've made your family proud, Lass.". — "No. Just chopping onions." "There are no onions." "Not anymore, look what I used to chop them with.". — "I can buy them a few minutes if I give that thing something to hunt." "Then I can double that time.". — "The sun, is a shiny potato, covered in drawn butter.". — "He never listens." "Runs in the family.". — School is in session!". "Eh, I never liked school either.". — "Let me tell you something about fathers and sons, Hiccup. It's a father's job to listen to his son without letting him know he's heard a word.". — "This would get rid of it real quick!" "The thorn?" "The foot.". — "Every bit of boar-headed, stubborn viking you ever were.". — "A giant hammerhead yak riding a giant hammerhead whale!"
Toothless and Hiccup communicating, in all their mannerisms. Regular conversations only they can follow, silent looks, glaring contests, speaking through actions, hand signals, gestures, expressions etc.
Hiccup and Snotlout being so cousins all the time gosh, they're so funny.
Brief and rare moments of Hiccup being unhinged. Not smug or sassy. Actually unhinged. Ergo Thawfest, The Longest Day.
Twinsanity episode. Love it
''Toothless- Toothle'. Plama blat." Also this episode is my absolute favorite I can't stop laughing every time I watch it.
Ruffnut being the best big sister ever in multiple rtte episodes aaaaaahhhhhh. She'd do anything to protect her brother.
Speaking of the twins, I'm in love with that one part, even though it served to be comedic, where Tuffnut accidentally married Fishlegs and Ruff while the rest were away on axe delivery and then claimed that they're a package deal so if Ruffnut gets to live with her spouse, he'd be there too because twins are inseparable. It was funny but also, why couldn't this have been the case for you know what. And then Wingnut realizing he can't force Ruffnut to choose between her brother and him so he made the choice himself.
The green eyed sib trio. Please, I need more of their interactions! (My mind is subtly giving me images of a very young toddler age Hiccup being lost at sea or something and rescued and taken in by Oswald and growing up with those two insane siblings as their little brother.)
That moment in episode 13 where they left Thor's giant statue in front of Mildew's hut.
The courage of Fishlegs. The one character who gets scared most easily but who is the one brave enough to face his fears every time push comes to shove. He was the only person on Berk to not leave during speed stinger attack because Meatlug was paralyzed and he couldn't bring himself to leave her alone there.
First movie. Music. Score. Making my heart melt and soar and melt again and fulfilling me with a profound sense of nostalgia.
Toothless' faces of exasperation every time his rider does something reckless or stupid.
Hiccup is the impulse control of all his friends and his father and the dragon but he himself needs a leash and it takes either Toothless or everyone on hand to keep his impulses under control and it's just so funny.
The riders think they are the smart ones but no. Their dragons are practically babysitting them half the time.
The twins spouting logic and facts and holding so much knowledge and knowing modern medicine and ice cream and air resistance physics and multiple languages and themes of theatre and-
Hookfang. He is such a character. I love him.
You know how Hiccup's voice grows so sharp like a scolding mom's when he's speaking to Snotlout sometimes or that time when he was chasing Barf and Belch while trying to keep the dragon hidden from Dagur.
Hiccup casually checking his nails when he was caught by Alvin and in rtte when the twins were trying to bargain for help about the fireworm situation.
Stoick trying to be a better father and succeeding.
Astrid not letting Hiccup put his foot down. He simply cannot. His friends all think its hilarious.
Hiccup being so happy and excited to have the team back together in rtte. He missed them so much and felt left behind again when everyone was pursuing something in their life and he was left alone to chase his own passion.
The fact that Toothless was pretending like he was not involved and had nothing to do with Hiccup when Astrid had caught them sneaking out to look for Viggo.
Toothless pretending that Hiccup was dead to make Stoick apologize hjxbfjfkfkfkfj I will never get over that scene. I fucking love this dragon.
The protectiveness the gang has for one another and each other's dragons. Whole team was ready to help Hookfang, Hiccup and Astrid were there chasing Barf and Belch to keep them hidden from Dagur, have been seen looking after Meatlug when Fishlegs ignores her. They all tend to converse with Toothless at random moments. Snotlout sneaks chicken to Stormfly, the gang recognizes her squawk as distinct from other nadders too.
Also the fact the gang opens up to each other. Like, they live together for quite a while in an outpost base and the way they interact all the time, it's so, frank. Like they've been together their whole lives. Which they have because the series shows them recalling stuff about one another from when they were mere kids. They literally grew up together. But they weren't really friends all the time, but knew each other well. Now though, its a family, man. They're a family. They know each other's perks and routines and flaws and tendencies and habits and they talk so openly. There is zero formality whatsoever.
Everyone in the gang and their dragons waking Hiccup up in the middle of the night whenever there's a problem like them kids going "mom I frew up".
Astrid giving Spitelout extra punishments for no reason while coaching A Team cuz he's Snotlout's dad. She doesn't treat Snotlout the same way anymore so something tells it had less to do with being annoyed at Snotlout and more to do with her annoyance on how he raised Snotlout. Because you cannot tell me she hasn't seen him being emotionally abusive to her friend, she was the one who saw what was going on in Thawfest and guided Hiccup in the right direction. And she was there when Snotlout broke down about Hookfang being sick, she was the one to comfort in the first place.
Snotlout loving ice cream which the twins invented. Chaotic besties these three I'm telling you.
Torch smacking Toothless with his tail the next time they meet in season 2 as revenge for getting tail-swiped way back then.
Atali and the Wing Maidens trolling Snotlout the entire episode by pretending to be cannibals who would offer him as a human sacrifice.
Sharpshot. I miss him so much!
Stoick hitting a bullseye he'd been struggling to hit without even looking at it the moment he sees Hiccup and his face lights up.
Gothi taking no shit from anyone, chief included. Gothi casually cussing out. Gothi smacking idiots with her staff. Gothi pulling stubborn vikings by their ears or by hooking her staff around their necks. Gothi feeding Thor Bonecrusher spiced bladder to teach him a lesson. Gothi being mute but not failing to get her point across. Gothi giving Snotlout a smile when he tries to escape and sees her already saddled up. Gothi rolling her eyes. I love this old woman. Seriously. She's everyone's grumpy, sassy grandma.
Hiccup being a mom friend. In fact, I need to make a compilation of this.
The fact that the riders would do anything, literally anything for their dragons. Astrid poisoned herself to get antidote for Stormfly, went out in a thunderstorm while blind to search for her. Hiccup the pacifist was intentionally about to murder Dagur for feeding Toothless what could be poison, he took lightning for his dragon. Fishlegs' greatest fear was losing Meatlug. Snotlout openly showed his vulnerable side to his friends for the first time ever when his dragon was so sick he started weeping. He decided to stop being a dragon rider if it meant he couldn't fly Hookfang. The twins risked getting captured to rescue Barf and Belch.
The disability rep through the boys oh my gosh. It was so so important. As much as the jokes were made, they were said in light hearted teasing but also, it was displayed multiple times that Hiccup and Toothless were at a disadvantage when their prosthetics were taken away. And Toothless was always at a disadvantage when separated from Hiccup (and vice versa bcoz Hiccup is more danger prone than any creature on screen). Slipping on some surfaces, having to carry spares in case of emergency, losing all the spares and being immobilized till he worked it out etc. And not just the boys. I love how it's shown with other characters too. Like Gothi. She struggles to get her words across, only a few people can translate her scribbles, Gobber mispronounces what she writes but they glean her moods well enough and know not to piss her off because she doesn't let her lack of speech stop her from being expressive and formidable.
"That sheep is a maniac." "That sheep is invincible." "That sheep is insane!"
Remember that episode the oleanders got on Berk. I love the fact that the characters had visible and dark eyebags by the end of that episode, implying they've been skipping sleep due to worry and watching over their dragons.
The theme of letting go done right in Bing! Bam! Boom! episode.
The fact that Hiccup invented the Thunder Ear to hear sounds from far off but by the 2nd movie, it became a horn blown as signal in dragon race and it came to that because the twins would use it as a megaphone speaker for their morning talkshows back at The Edge.
Astrid immediately taking out her axe to murder Throk when he mentioned taking Ruffnut away to marry him against her knowledge or choice in the matter.
Falling drowsy to Heather'a lullaby only to startle awake when Hiccup started singing.
Wonder what happened after Gobber returned home with an entire horde of Boneknappers. Can you imagine the look on the villagers' faces? Priceless.
Hiccup calling Astrid "Mi'lady". Such a gentleman.
Need to talk about how trusting and close Hiccup and Snotlout have grown throughout the series. Going from "I'm going the exact opposite of where Hiccup says" to the point that Snotlout just goes, "If Hiccup said it, he's most definitely right and we follow him whether you like it or not so get moving and do as he says." And on the other hand Hiccup going from Thawfest to trusting Snotlout with his life. I just, love the development of their relationship.
Gobber playing panpipes in the background of Hiccup and Toothless having a glaring contest. This was the only moment of these two having a stare down, I need more. I headcanon they do that when they disagree. How would Berk react to this. Their local runt and his night fury having a glaring contest over minor disagreement. 5 minutes later, the two are seen gossiping about something random.
Tuffnut telling scary campfire stories to the dragons.
That's it for now. There is so much more I swear but I'm tired. Will share the rest some other time, perhaps individually, with analyses maybe.

I just know that nothing in the new scenario will ever be as funny as Kazuichi getting his ass blown off by Komaeda's bombs in chapter 5, the bar is too high
Okay I'm sorry but I'm pretty sure there was a severed arm in the toilet there or smth in Jake's cell . Also lol the "love thy cellmates","no leaving", "tissues available" and "ok to spit"on the walls are pretty funny .did a murder happen there and what did the spd even do if the arms still there
Gonna be honest Jim could've stopped to talk to the angry guy instead of ditching him cuz then the stalkling can't get him alone right? I mean then they wouldn't have found out about lightning weakness but it's not like him knew that

Was vendel alive when usurna said not to rely on the amulet and let trollkind decide whether they win against gunmar? Because I thought only Eclipse could defeat gunmar and vendel knows that? Of course Usurna wants gunmar to take over so no wonder but if Vendel was there shouldn't he dispute it?
Hey you know after Jim got back from the darklands? Technically he could have picked up some disease from there that could actually be the Jim lake jr disease. I know not really but fun to imagine
Hello clangen community!! I’ve made some free to use OC reference sheet templates for all your clangen needs and desires, including the transparent empty template version for if you want to make a custom background yourself! You don’t need to credit or link me in the post if you do end up using these, just don’t remove the credit on the template itself and you’re all set! I’ve made a template for this before but it was. very bad. so I decided to remake it and make it a lil prettier this time, using the backgrounds from the game itself.
Additional tips just in case: To add in your cats sprite, color pick the color of the solid square behind the [insert sprite here] model and draw over it! It should now be open for you to put your own sprites there. Also, if you’re making your own customized version using the transparent template, I use overlay clipping layers to change the color of the template itself, like the cyan overlay I used for the crystal river/wastelands/fjord maps.
Have fun!! Feel free to use however you like, just don’t remove the credit !
