Description
A title with the most 'T's ever!This picture is a scene of my own story 'How to Live a Dragon's Life.' It's the part where Hiccup (who has changed into a Night Fury) meets two terrible terror's, named Lickeye, the yellow one, and Picknose, the blue one. I must say that I actually am not terribly fond of the names I gave them anymore, but oh well!
This is the scene where the two little dragons are sitting on Hiccupβs hind paws (he has been turned into a dragon by the Gods). Hiccup had tumbled off a cliff when trying to escape the residents of his village, and lost consciousness. The chattering of the two dragons had woken him up.
I had a lot of trouble coloring this picture since I don't have a lot of knowledge about the color theory and what kind of colors I should use during night scenes. But Bluedramon, Kanda and Contraltissimo gave me very helpful tutorials and/or tips. And I actually learned a bit more about picking the right colors for night scenes. So thanks for helping me out guys!
Though the tutorials were very useful, it was this one that helped me to finish the picture: [link]
Okay, it's a bit cheating, but it did help me learn how to shade my characters, though there are probably numerous mistakes to be found. Also went a bit crazy with the highlights.
I just want to grow as an artist since I am hoping to be accepted in an animation school soon. I'm getting pretty nervous! I need to draw less fan art and more real-life art to help me improve with my pictures.

That's truly tremendous that the two terrors... okay I can't comment only using words that start with "T"
The name does sound a bit disgusting but there are lizards that lick their eye to give it moisture (not sure about nose picking...)
And hey, you got the coloring to reflect that it's night and I'm not sure how doing cell shading is considered cheating. I think you did well with the shading and I will have to nitpick since the mistakes are so minor that it doesn't have much impact.
Why not do fan art as well? Like make a realistic look of Night Fury or Norman.

LOL LOL at your try to make a full sentence with only using 'T's XD
I am actually working on some new ParaNorman fan art now, I will post it in a short while. Go see it! You won't be disappointed!
And I am glad the mistakes are minor! But if I make big mistakes, be sure to tell me!

Aaaaaaahhaahahaa!
A few seconds after I saw this----I TOTALLY knew what it was! And then I looked down and saw your icon and my hunch was confirmed!
Heeheehee, how delightful to see these two again! Oh they make me grin in the stupidest ways.
And the coloring looks fabulous! Heh, you say you went a little crazy on the highlights, but I think they look great!
The moonlight is just perfect.... this is just a really pleasing image to look at!
Heh, maybe I should check out some of those tutorials.
Awesome job!
