Description Finally!! I took my time to do this one... Because I thought a long time about what pose, what dynamic I wanted... How to describe how I felt during the flight scenes, I really wanted to honor the movie; to honor them.

And when I was finally decided, my tablet driver was getting difficult, I spent two days fixing it, I was very afraid to not manage to fix it... But it's okay now.

I must say that for once, I'm quite happy with the result, quite proud of my background, since I suck at it XD And okay, the blue is maybe TOO blue for north and Viking-Land, but hey, you know my gallery!

How To Train Your Dragon... The movie reached unexpectedly my top favourites movies in no time. Really... I went to see it frist because Toothless reminded me of my cat, no more And I discovered one of the most beautiful movie ever... The relationship between Toothless and Hiccup, the flights sequences, the music... It was... It was like I was waiting for it, and I didn't even know.

On my personnal podium, I put it near Treasure Planet.. Which is EXTREMELY high !! They have in commom to make me feel LOT of differents emotions in one story... It's exactly the kind of stories I live for! Adventures, friendship, outsiders. Yep, that's US.


Of course, for the drawing, listen to the "Test Drive" track ~

I worked very hard on Toothless, I love him to pieces. He reminds me so much of Minuit, and his animation is INCREDIBLE. So much like a cat, so graceful, so genuine, so believable, textures, expression, everything is PERFECT.
Hiccup is one of the most adorable hero EVER. His expressions, his gestures, his ironic humor, inventions... I love love love them!

I could speak for hours of this movie... Already saw it fourth times, without a doubt I'll see it around 6 times, which mean it will beat The Lion King record


Hiccup/Toothless (Harold/Krokmou in french!) (c) Dreamworks.


Thanks Dreamworks for making such a wonderful movie? Thanks Chris Sanders ( ! visit him !) for such an amazing story. Thanks Donald Reignoux for making such an adorable Harold/Hiccup (french dub! )

wah merci!
Mon dieu j'allais t'envoyer un message pour te demander, justement, comme je sais que tu aime les dragons... Je trouve que ce film s'écarte des sentiers battus de ce que Dreamworks nous sort d'habitude. Je regarde un peu sur le net et c'est incroyable comme phénomène, les gens y vont sans grande conviction et même des gens qui n'aiment pas l'animation adorent le film. Je n'ai quasiment pas vu de critiques négatives!
Je suis contente, vraiment...
Merci en tout cas j'ai retourné les scenes 100 fois dans ma tete pour essayer de retranscrire le dynamisme des scènes de vol, dans une image figée, pas facile...XD

Oui c'est fou, j'étais pas des masses enthousiaste. Et puis je voyais que tout le monde était à fond, et que pleins de gens qui normalement n'aiment pas ce genre de films adhéraient complètement.

Alors je me suis dit, allons le voir. Et effectivement...Une super bonne surprise.
Ils ont fait un exellent boulot là dessus, surtout en animation. J'étais un peu sur le cul et mes deux autres potes de cohl aussi xp

Et bravo pour ton image, encore xp

oui l'animation m'a blufé, autant le jeu de Harold que l'animation de Krokmou, et les textures, et tout... Autant pour l'histoire que sur l'anim que sur le ressenti, j'étais bouche bée tout du long (ou avec un sourire niais, ça depend!)

xp Comme d'hab j'aime pas les versions françaises alors je vais rester sur les noms originaux. (bouh la vilaine moi) mais oui je suis complètement d'accord.

Je ferais bien un fanart aussi, mais j'arriverais probablement pas a faire quelque chose d'original et de personnel et y'a plein de gens qui ferons mieux xp

bah on s'en fout que ça soit pas original, tant que tu prends plaisir à le faire! Et tu es la premiere a qui j'ai penser en voyant ue les gens faisaient des fanarts, vu ton don pour dessiner les dragons, je reverai de voir au moin un croquis de Toothless sous ton crayon ! S'il te plaiiiiit?

(pour la VF je l'ai vraiment bien aimé, de toute façon en général j'aime bien la VF pour les films d'anim, et j'ai trouvé Donald Reignoux vraiment bon là. Et Emmanuel Jacomy. Ya que Astrid que j'ai pas aimé en VF)

thanks a lot !!
It's hilarious, yes, but in a ... tender way. It's without a pop-culture reference, it's not the Shrek or Madagascar humor, no. But it's very funny, touching, moving, thrilling, exiting! EPIC. It's nothing you can expect to see with the trailer, but the expreience is very worth it, believe me! Hope you'll see it soon!

nothings ever what it seems in the trailers. what you expect is totaly differnt then the real thing. i have a question did you ever hear of percy jackson and the olypians? its a book series of 5 (maybe six XD) and the movie of the first came out in like febuary(books are better). really good movie has to be a close tie for second with the mummy 1 and 2 in my book. (of coarse tmnt at the top of the list)

yes I saw the movie! It was enjoyable, but pretty much... Well, it was Chris Columbus. Predictable every minute. Still I liked it !

the books are a lot better i mean the movies close(closer than a lot of other movie/books ive seen) but they cut a lot of good funny parts. if you can find the books read then the're not long and the're exciting and hilarious. you cant really predict it as much its got a lot of twists and turns

Squeals! You just made my day by posting this! I adore this movie to pieces, it's my favorite animated one now! (And my desktop background . . . lol) Four times?! I'm so jealous, I want to see it again!

Anyway, insta-fave, the art is great! I hope to see more pics from this amazing movie!

Yes, fourth time, because I have a cinema pass, so I don't pay to go to cinema! (except 2 euros for the 3D majoration... But 2 euros is nothing for a movie XD )
