Description
The second Astrid walked in that door, she should have known it would have been fruitless.--
Maybe Astrid walked into Hiccup's work room, trying to be all messy and sexy for him buuuut Hiccup was busy with crap. Instead, she sat down and listened to him ramble on about his plans for various weapons and tools, finding herself becoming intrigued but confused all the same. I could totally see it happening, hahaha. I don't know, kinda came up with it while drawing this! yee.
Well, I can't thank my followers anymore than I have, and the LOVELY people who favorite and comment and add my submissions to their collections--I love you all!
So maybe I'll get around to typing up my fic... lol : I maybe.
bt-dubbs: that is a floating orb of light from behind Astrid. It's supposed to be unfocused, but I guess it turned out like a random glob. haha ahh well.

okay! welllll.
first you find a texture on the internets (if the author allows permission of use, of course) and you save it onto your computer or use the download button, whichever.
open it in photoshop (if you use some other program, then I have no idea how to do the rest of this)
go to EDIT and scroll down to Preset Manager, to Preset Pattern/Texture, something like that.
save as texture onto photoshop with the given name or a new one.
THEEEENN go to your picture and duplicate the sketching layer or whatever layer you're using.
if you're still in photoshop, go to your layer tab and click in that circle thing that's half filled-in and click on it.
click "add texture"
now you can move it around, adjust the size, and click OK and you're set!!
I use photoshop elements 6 for all my stuff, soo if you use another program, I'm sorry dude. I'm sure it's the same way with older versions and newer ones.
