Nine Realms rewatch time 🎬

I need to compile a collection of moments of Wu and Wei being protective of Jun.

Analyzing this dragon, and the Snowcano chapter, I love that they are such a protective and peaceful species.

I've learned to appreciate them over time.

First time drawing these guys, actually 😅 But here's the riders!

When it comes to humans, I have been drawing them for a far shorter time than creatures like animals, so I'm far less experienced at it. That being said, there are things about the Nine Realms humans that need some updating for the AU, whenever I get around to designing/drawing them.

For the most part I want more interesting outfits for the adults, and as for the kids - my main problem comes from their models in the show. D'angelo looks like a shrunk down adult, Jun has purple eyes, things like that. On the whole though, things like hairstyles and colors are mostly fine as is imo. Still, I made a few changes clothing wise just based on what I thought would look nice.

Disclaimer: I do NOT use AI in my edits and they are all made by hand, using existing screenshots.

A bunch of old edits from May 2023, this time technically not rewrite AU stuff (although they do exist in the AU because for my ocs it's the "canon" one), but two of my Nine Realms ocs! I actually have a bunch, but for now this is Illusia and Cerberus ✨️

Illusia is the closest to a canon-accurate Light fury oc that I have (my Httyd fury ocs tend to have less "species accurate" coloring, or are just fan species). She is a reclusive dragon with a mutation that causes her scales' reflective nature to be extra sensitive to heat, basically meaning they will start turning reflective even just from being in direct sunlight during the day, making her practically fade away during daytime. This was seen as an oddity in her pack, back home in the Hidden World (which yes, worldbuilding funfact, the Hidden World does get sunlight, though not by there literally being a secondary sun in the underground cavern's "sky" /j /lh) so she never was that social, or confident. Still, when the ceiling opened to create a door to a new world above the one she'd always known, she wasted no chance going to explore the one above where stars shined and clouds wandered.

Cerberus, meanwhile, is a young Red Death (an adult, but not as old and experienced as say, the Red Death from Httyd, so he is considerably smaller, "small" being a relative term /lh) The young death was building a flock of his own in the Hidden World, but an older, more experienced death stole it and his territory, thus the youngster was forced to flee, now residing in an ancient, undiscovered entrance to the Hidden World, located beneath a fjord in modern day Norway. In this way, he is almost like a "guardian" for this undiscovered gateway to the world beneath him, by pure accident.

Thunder OUR beloved fury..

Thank you, I'm glad people seemed to enjoy it, my hc Jörmungandr is one of my favourite creations so I hope to be able to make more art for him in the future! As well as my Nine Realms ideas in general ✨️

For now, here's a quicker piece of the Elder Nightlight from last year - nicknamed Deimos in my version!

Plus some of the other renamed dragons (Wu&Wei keep their names and so does Plowhorn, I actually liked those ones. +With the eventual redesign Wu&Wei's names won't be so on the nose)

Thunder - Rift

Feathers - Copycat

Webmaster - Partycrasher

Thunder's dad - Equinox

Thunder's mom - Solstice

S h a d o w - Crescent

Splattertail - Comet

This is bordering genuine loser territory, ITS BEEN FIVE YEARS GET NEW MATERIAL ALREADY </3

Mfs will see a show that no one is forcing them to watch, isn't problematic in any way, shape or form and decide it's the worst evil walking on this Earth and should be shat on diarrhea style even half a decade after it's release.

Not to mention Nine Realms can easily combat other series ESPECIALLY rtte on stuff like visual effects, character development (because shocker, it actually doesn't just treat the main dragon character as an accessory to the human and gives him growth) but you wouldn't know that because you prefer to watch a diehard httyd fan spit on the show for several hours straight and call it quality content instead of forming your own opinion first.

'oh but the dragon designs-' budget. time. PANDEMIC. For what little tnr was given it's genuinely a good show, especially for children, which, shocker, are the target audience. It has flaws but it also has so much potential, leaving room for people to expand upon and imo that's the best thing about it. That and the extended lore we get for the hidden world because golly was it lacking in the franchise before the show.
