#toothless httyd

forgot to post this one 😅

I'm still salty about them changing his design after the first movie.

EDIT: Since people keep saying the changes are subtle/not really there, I'm putting this in the main post.

EDIT 2: Since a lot of people have brought it up: Yes, I know that the design change is meant to show him aging. But I think that the way they did it was stupid, and I still like his first design more.

EDIT 3: I don’t mind his HTTYD 2 design. It’s not ideal, but enough time passes after HTTYD 1, that the design change could be natural. HTTYD 3 has no excuse though; that design can burn.

EDIT 4: I also want to clarify, I do love some aspects of his later designs. Like the bigger spikes, and extra nubs to show age. But I like them because those changes make sense from real life standards.

EDIT 5: Because it was requested, I added images of his live action design for comparison. I also added a few others images to show how his body shape has changed, and how he lost his markings as time went on. (body shape comparisons from this post, drawing of his OG design compared to the LA from this one).

EDIT 6: added a comparison of just HTTYD 2 and 3 that I found.

EDIT 7: (hopefully this is the last one) I decided to add his design from the TV shows and shorts. Now, these kinds of things get way less funding than movies, so that's probably the main reason he looks different. But I'm still adding them for comparison.

Toothless (and night fury's in general), re-imagined! Making him look more in line with the other dragons for my au. Also made this to highlight differences with my albino night fury oc, Ghostwaker.

A Leap of Faith

EDIT: I added the upside-down version under the cut :P
