CONGRADULATIONS TO THE CONTEST WINNERS!!! FOR THE WRITING CONTEST, THE WINNER....

A THREE-WAY TIE: ~forever-unspoken
~Calico321
*Fay-Sa

AND FOR THE DRAWING-IDEA CONTEST: *ch4rms

I will try to message you guys to find out what you wanted me to draw for you!

ANT THANKS AGAIN TO EVERYONE WHO PROVIDED FEEDBACK. YOU GUYS ROCK.

*EDIT 2* Contest closes today, on July 31! So if you want to participate, today's the last day. I will be announcing the winners within the next few days, and such.

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO PARTICIPATED, AND TO ALL OF YOU WHO FAV'D THIS! I GOT 50 FAVES WITHIN A DAY, AND I NEARLY FELL OUT OF MY CHAIR. YOU GUYS ROCK. LOTS OF LOVE! :D

*EDIT* I'M GOING TO MAKE A CONTEST OUT OF THIS. If you leave a comment, you could potentially get to have me draw a picture, with a HTTYD subject of your choice. This means any characters, cannon or otherwise, dragon or human (note that I'm infinitely better at drawing humans than dragons though). It could be anything from a simple graphite sketch to a full-blown computer-done image. You can win this sketch in two ways (there's two separate contests) You can (a) describe what happened to lead to this scene with Stoick holding a young Hiccup. It can be long, it can be short, it doesn't matter. The one I like best wins this contest. You can (b) describe a picture you'd like me to draw for you. The one I find most inspiring wins the second picture.
*END EDIT*


HOLY CRUD YOU GUYS, YOU LOVE ME TOO MUCH. BUT SERIOUSLY, I GOT 30 FAVES IN THE FIRST THREE DAYS "HTTYD - Father" WAS POSTED.

THIS IS INSANITY. BUT I LIKE IT.

WHY AM I WRITING IN ALL CAPS?

probably cuz it makes me feel cool ;D But you guys are seriously amazing. The love and support I received for posting a simple little sketch [link] is overwhelming. I mean, it was just this sloppy thing I threw together during our ten-minute passing periods. I never even planned to show it to anyone, let alone post it here. And I never could have imagined how much support from the community I got. 30 faves in 3 days? That's amazing, I'm flattered beyond belief. Did you know that sketch (that silly little sketch, of all things!) was the first time I'd ever got a request from a group to have it displayed in their galleries? I think that made my day.

And, of course, know that I know you're weakness, I plan to exploit it to the fullest. Also known as - I colored the sketch, made it nice and pretty. Call me self-absorbed, but I'm hoping we can beat the record of faves set by the original sketch (hint, hint) After all, a whole lot more work, time, and effort went into this version! (hint, hint) ANYWAY.

I hope you like this one just as much (or more!) than the sketch. Please favorite, and comment too! (You'd totally make my day, just by leaving a little sentence!)

Oh, and I left the background as the brown paper the sketch was on (captain obvious). I liked the effect it gave. HOWEVER, if any of you super awesome people out there would like to collaborate with me, I'd be super flattered! I generally enjoy coloring/shading, and drawing paper sketches. I get easily bored with doing on-computer lineart, and with backgrounds.
