Description

So maybe you remember my last inktober drawing? I liked so much how it turned out that I wanted to make it bigger drawing some day and I’ve thought I would finish the another HTTYD drawing I have in progress, but I couldn’t make myself finish the colouring on the other one and instead this happened. It’s again (again means as my last HTTYD fanart) done with Derwent Inktense colour pencils (and water). (And now I spent like one hour trying to make the colours look at least a bit like in the real picture and I’m still not even sure what you can see at the end aargh. Why - WHY can’t the thing at least once look like in real?? Like for once? And there’s not even any red colour here! %// ). Anyway I like how this turned out as well. I originally wanted to make him fly only in the sky but then I got carried away bit with the darker blue(s) and so the sea happened. Heh, whatever.

By the way I was pretty confused when I realized that Windwalker actually isn’t the name of the particular dragon but of a dragon species and that it’s like that with lots of (or most of) dragons in the books like Silver Phantom or Deadly Shadow or Hogfly and it also was kind of… sad or sadly disappointing or how should I say it? But maybe most of the dragons in this world just don’t care for names? I mean Windwalker never seemed to be offended to be called Windwalker? It’s stil a bit weird. (yeah I’m aware of the thing with Deadly Shadow, it’s still just mostly called Deadly Shadow isn’t he)

This is such a beautiful piece! Definitely worthy of being framed and put up on a wall!! V It feels so serene!

Thank you

I actually thought of hanging it on my wall lol. It's not that big for the wall though (it's just A5 (half of A4, is that A5 isn't it?)), it would get kind of lost there. If you know what I mean.

Maybe! But it would still look lovely! It deserves to be seen.

Sweet baby, a good friend.

But yeah the naming-after-the-species thing annoyed me a little

Nice. I like the flowing curve to Windwalker's body. Low over the water works. This could be when Windwalker was alone while Hiccup was in Prison Darkheart / The Amber Slavelands in book 10.


I got the impression that by the end of the series, both Hiccup and 'the Windwalker' came to accept that his name was Windwalker. Much like how 'the Wodensfang' became Wodensfang.

Thank you. Well Windwalker here looks (and I had it in mind when drawing) rather relaxed here which he wasn't when Hiccup was in Amber Slavelands and Dragon Rebellion was around everywhere, so it would be rather somewhen later


Yeah but Wodensfang is actually Sea Dragonus Giganticus Maximus so Wodensfang is his name...
