Oh I do believe
In all the things you see
What comes is better than what came before

And you'd better come come, come come to me
Better come come, come come to me
Better run, run run, run run to me
Better come

Oh I do believe
In all the things you see
What comes is better than what came before

And you'd better run run, run run to me
Better run, run run, run run to me
Better come, come come, come come to me
You'd better run

I Found A Reason- Cat Power

Meh I just felt like drawing Toothless (Night Fury) from How to Train Your Dragon. Actually my little cousin has been pestering to draw Toothless so I did. Plus I just had to add that generic dragon in the sky.

Basically he is looking up in the sky, missing the power of flight since this took place before Hiccup made that prosthetic fin, hence there is only one fin currently.

And I think that'll be it. Now I need to work on that trade.

First off, I'm terrible at critiques, so hopefully I will be able to do this correctly.

The way you captured Toothless is simply beautiful. His emotion and longing is easy to read in the picture. The soft shading also adds to the piece and gives it such a nice feeling. The highlights on his scales and the lack of lines give Toothless an organic look and adds almost a 3-dimensional depth to him. The only thing I can say is that his eyes are not styled the same way as in the movie. They have a bit of a cartoonish look to them that takes away from the pictures just the slightest. The grainy texture is absolutely perfect and accents the picture splendidly. The landscaping details are also well done.

Overall, this is a magnificent piece. You've done an amazing job!

Though he does look like a giant black cat sometimes. But that's ok because it's cute

Aww I'm sorry to hear that I got mine from Ebay at a reasonable price. You can find many lower than $50.

Yes...the Gold and Silver games were the best and I am happy that they got the remakes out now. Some features were removed though but they got more additions, better graphic and you can walk your Pokemon. Just like in the anime

Indeed like Empoleon...they're cool looking enough but the short beak is a turnoff.

It needs a long spear-like beak like real penguins.

Exactly...how is he going to use Drill Peck? Needs a much longer beak than that.

I should let my Piplup evolve. I kinda want to but I've grown too fond of him the way he is. He's nearly at Lv 90 and it may not be fair for him to remain a Piplup forever. Esp that I go to Battle Frontier now and Piplups are not really a great choice for competive battling. And he singlehandedly knocked out Lance's and Clair's dragons with his Ice Beam.

For the longest time I didn't want my Mudkip to evolve o3o but then I had to because his attack stats went up ;;

transylvaniandreams In reply to Reactivate [2010-05-18 13:52:35 +0000 UTC]

Yeah....it's a shame that the cute ones are flops in battling. I even had thought that like Dawn's Piplup, Mumble refuses to evolve, but only simply because he just wants to be "young" forever. I don't really watch the Diamond and Pearl series because that Paul kid annoys the crap outta me. I hate how he is so abusive to his Pokemon. I seriously hope they turn on him because he'll deserve it.

I bet that my doppleganger trainer (if I make one since I am now creating a concept) if she ever crosses paths with him will have his head since I plan to make her more hot-headded and short tempered than me and she detests Pokemon abuse.

They could have kept his name as "Shinji" since that is more epic. I tend to like Japanese names over American since American names are bleh.

Oh well he's still a fail pissy, emo, PSMy bitch that is Ash and friend's personal stalker. I would call the cops if I was them.
