Description This is the first version of a HTTYD cover I did. Dreamworks wanted a more TV/Movie accurate depiction of Hiccup, after I was originally told I could draw him in my own comic book style. I was, of course, informed of this after inking the finished cover instead of during the pencil stage. So....I got to do a fairly elaborate patch for this cover which I will post next.

Bummer! I would have loved to have this one.
Could have been cool to see the actiony side of Hiccup.
Still a badass version anyways

This looks cool! When will the comic come out?

At this point I am not sure it is coming out. Ape has apparently had some real problems with this title and getting things cleared through Dreamworks.

I like this one way better...It has a tense mood, like they're being chased by something or are the ones chasing or following some trail and Toothless is helping him sniffing tryng to find the right scent

Great stuff here Aaron!This movie is great and the lead artist for the character designs kick ass.If you don't know his work google it!
