Heeeheeheeheeheehee! After my other doodles in http://www.furaffinity.net/view/3900691/ , I was coming up on 3 AM and still! I wanted to do this because watching that movie, with the very strange designs of dragons and highly unusual shapes and masses of characters, taught me. It doesn't matter doing it 'right'. What matters is doing it awesome! So I let go of everything I thought I knew about myself, how to draw myself, and let the dragon in me get out, and look, this flowed out with a lotta love and mooshy feelings, and it was so easy! HTTYD might have changed my style, but I think it's more it unlocked my expression through drawing, and linking a love for happiness with teaching me that it's okay to draw weird. I feel like I can design with no limits ;_; *wells up again* I wish I could hug everyone who brought to life How to Train Your Dragon, and of course the characters too. I wish too that other people can feel like this, maybe by drawing freely and joyously I can help people feel like that! This is a hybridized but very easy and made-with-love sketch of me, with look! Paws! And happyface! And it was easy and no effort! *bounces on his tail and loves sketch so much and all that it personally means to him*

Thanks for lookin' at my doodles, and yeah, like... goodness, the movie links together so many things from the friend I was with all day, who watched the movie with me, to the fun we had then, to dragons in general and art in general, to the way Toothless and Hiccup bonded and how that affected me (cried like a fool), and the incredible ease that the movie (animators too) taught me to have in imagining creatures and shapes, and that you don't have to draw heads as spheres or follow skeletal shapes. Making and drawing good comes from the wish and desire and love to want to make good! So that's a lot, almost all of what How To Train Your Dragon and its art means to me. And the terrible terrors sleep so cute, ammagosh x'3
It's really neat! your face looks a bit different, it's neat seeing you experiment a bit with different styles. :) I'm glad the movie had that effect on you, it's neat sometimes to experiment with forgetting about how you've done things in the past and just try something totally new to see what happens. ^^
Heck yeah, and I learn how to take life in unorthodox ways from doing this. Drawing different like this parallels the still-present life struggle to see things the right way, instead of my dunce way (it's a kinda long story, but at least I am able to eventually tell a good ending)....
I think that kinda balance between stability and adaptability is important both in life decisions and in art. You don't want to be SO changeable that there's nothing that really defines your own style or approach, but if you're too rigid you never can grow and adapt and will probably always be stressing out as life loves to throw curve balls. In any case, I really like seeing you try new things and I really like this drawing. ^^
