HTTYD2/Gemwar Hiccup


After seeing the recent clip, I wanted to do one of two things... and in the end I will probably do both of them. I wanted to draw HTTYD2 Hiccup, and I wanted to draw Toothless itching his armpit XD Well, I wound up doing the Hiccup drawing. This isn't anything special by any standard, but I had fun trying to do it. Wow, people are always so hard to draw.

Now, you might catch some differences in the uniform, and if you do, good. This technically is Hiccup at HTTYD2 age, but he is in his Dsplash armor. During the upcoming Gemwar this the outfit and equipment he will carry. I guess I'll just go through and point out the few changes I made to his AMAZING HTTYD2 outfit.

Ok, the compass isn't a compass. It's actually a silverlight (extremely hard metal) casing that holds Hiccup's shrouding sphere, making him very difficult to track in any dimension.

The knife on his arm is Deathquencher, the knife which brought him back from deletion. He can use this in a choice few dimensions to heal wounds that would prove fatal, and in the Gemnodes' world he can use it to bring characters back from deletion. However, if used too many times, the blade with melt away.

Hiccup's sword is actually his remodeled Endeavor (I have a digital painting of that sword waaaaaay back in the blog somewhere). That is why the dragon head is of a Night Fury. Also, the huge ball of fire at the end is being caused by a bit of Gemshard which is giving off energy. Hiccup can use Endeavor to cleave dimensions, and Link actually used this sword in order to get to Hiccup and save him from Sardilic (technically Toothless was the one who saved him...).

Hiccup has a leaf of Lorien of his chest. This is a keepsake that he has had for a while since he and Frodo destroyed the Ring of Power.

Hiccup does not have the cool skull logo on his left shoulder. That hasn't been the life he's been given. His life has been hard, and there are not fun racing logos. He has a black strike-class symbol, and he wants that symbol to be a beacon to everyone who is willing to strike against the Purpose even if it means certain death. He wishes he could have fun logos and bright red colors... but he is in war.

Finally, he is wearing the Night Fury scale necklace still. Now currently he has lost it in the story, and currently he hasn't even finished this suit, but this is sort of a teaser I suppose as to what he will look like for the rest of the plot. Hiccup, Frodo, Link, and Astrid are the only characters with the scale necklaces. 

So... none of that is all that important or interesting, and I actually tried to change the outfit as little as possible because Hiccup does look so great in HTTYD2. Hopefully... coming up next; Itchy Armpit Toothless!
