Hey, this is my first try at digital art! Drawing with a mouse was an ooof and I had no idea what most of the tools were but I just had to draw my favorite scaly boi! Sort of Halloween themed, but it was mostly because I can’t do backgrounds. Let me know what you think!
I realize I haven’t posted in quite some time - here’s some sketchbook pages + a bit of digital art. These are done with alcohol markers, pens, and acrylic markers. There’s also some watercolor in there
Playing around with different brushes <3
ONLY ONE WILL FALL
Quick requested thing for @mrbeastie87
It’s been a while since I drew these 2 but it is what it is

Hot take
Night furies are actually perfectly evolved for hunting and killing other dragons and the only reason they aren't a dragon-hunting species like the death song or deathgrippers are is because DreamWorks couldn't have their adorable main character dragon be a "cannibal"
(below I'm gonna try to summarize what we've figured out in a convo with friends on discord)
(also tw animal death via predator)
First of all yes I'm aware that pretty much every decision made about their design was with consideration of the effect it would make on human audiences but hear me out
Night furies are most iconically known as dive-bombers. They are built for speed, high maneuverability, night-time camouflage and for striking targets from above. If we remove human settlements out of the equation (which would not have existed long enough to actually influence night fury evolution, come on), what does that leave us with?
They aren't built for catching fish for sure, they aren't very hydrodynamic and their head is round, wide, and their teeth are dull. Honestly, the monstrous nightmare is much better suited for catching fish, with its long neck, almost pelican-like jaw and rhamphorhynchus teeth
Compare to
Yeah the jaws look kinda like a porpoise of some sort but for that the whole body would have to be a lot more aquatic imo. The light fury looks a lot closer to an aquatic diver, it has a sleeker body, rounded fins instead of spikes, and a long neck.
I don't really see them hunting land animals either, they just don't look like they're adapted for that minus the resemblance with large felines and even then, they're too large to effectively hunt in forests.
The one thing I can kinda imagine them hunting is large mainland megafauna, but we're working with a setting that takes place pretty much exclusively on islands. And overall, dragons are the only abundant species there with the exception of fish and human-bred sheep and chickens.
In general, night furies have duller teeth, smaller claws and are smaller than most dragons. Disregarding the movies making Toothless weirdly OP, a night fury would be disadvantaged against most dragons in a 1v1 fight and besides, it has four huge weak spots that would highly discourage it from a direct physical fight - the primary and secondary tail fins. One unlucky rip in the membrane and the night fury is fucked.
The night fury however noticeably resembles falcons, given their dive-bombing ability and high maneuverability.
Falcons too have smaller beaks and weaker claws compared to most birds of prey, and for that they compensate by simply picking up speed, balling up their talons and Punching. Really. Hard.
And they use that ability to kill other birds, even much larger ones, by knocking them right from the sky.
Here, the night fury's plasma blast works the same way as a falcon's punch. Dragons are fire-resistant, so what the plasma blast does is really just a densely packed bolt of energy that has the effect of either stunning or outright killing prey by damaging its spine. And what the plasma bolt doesn't do, rapid contact with the ground would finish. And if even that doesn't do it, the night fury's wide jaws and dull teeth are just fine for simply clamping around the unlucky dragon's neck and strangling it, like a lion or a pitbull.
The night-time camouflage allows the night fury to soar for extended periods of time perfectly unnoticed in the night sky, and by the time it strikes, the dragon wouldn't even know what's coming.
Unless
Say the hunting night fury is aware of other dragons sleeping under the trees, as most dragons probably would at night (village raids aside, most dragons seem to be diurnal), so how does the night fury get them in position where it can use its signature attack? Well, there's That Iconic Screech Of Death. Since in the movies it tends to appear not just during dive-bombings but also when charging up a blast, I imagine it's something the night fury is able to control to some degree. So by simply fake-diving in close proximity to sleeping dragons, it can effectively terrify them into leaving their hideout and fly out into the open where it can easily take them out.
I dunno, the possibility of night furies as predators to other dragons just makes so much sense to me, I really don't know what other reasons there would be for them to evolve these particular adaptations.
And one more little headcanon to add to this whole rant - since night furies are significantly smaller and less equipped for dragon vs dragon fights and are primarily speed-based predators, I imagine there is this very likely scenario:
There is one dragon who resembles a hyena, a lil bit
Ok, rant over
I have this headcanon where wings will outgrow baby furies for a couple weeks until the rest of their bodies catch up to them. They're pretty clumsy during this period of time, gotta get used to the weight of their new extensions😋.
Baby toothless
This gif
I didn't make it, but it keeps catching my eye because LOOK
The wings perfectly line up with Hiccup
Toothless is going to fly again because of Hiccup, yes, but this is Hiccup's first flight. Unknowingly, he's spreading his wings too.
This moment catapults a whole new direction for Hiccup's life, and he gets to fly because he made it so Toothless could too.
he brought his cane back and his itty bitty Toothless
Talking about this movie on the internet is NOT going to be fun, I'll tell you that much.
I'm just hoping the cast finds films to be in that people actually WANT to see and not some petulant money-burning scream against the animation medium.
Toothless Window Cling
Hiii! So, I did a little art project the other day! so, I made a window/mirror cling of toothless from How to Train Your Dragon! It took two hours but it was totally worth it! Instructions are underneath the picture!
Supplies you need: 1. Contact paper, 2. Black construction paper, 3. Two or more hours, 4. Duct tape, 5. Scissors (optional: tissue paper- to add color and a printout of what you want to draw).
How to make: Take your contact paper and lay it down on a flat surface, sticky side up. Under the contact paper, put down the printout if you have one, design side up. Tape down the top and bottom. if there is a piece of paper on top of it, put the tape under it. take off the piece of paper if needed (don't throw it away in case you don't want to attach it to a window or mirror). now, you have the contact paper, sticky side up, tapped down to the flat surface and the printout underneath if you have one. cut your black construction paper into strips and keep your scissors handy! you can cut the strips as you wish and just stick them onto the contact paper in whatever design you want. if you have a printout, you can put the black strips of paper on the outlines. if you choose to use tissue paper, you can put that on after the outline is done.
Tips and tricks:
When you pick out a printout, make sure it isn't too complicated or you will get frustrated easily!
When you are putting the construction paper down, make sure to note that it may be hard to peel off after you put it down
Tissue paper will not come off easily. use with caution.
You can replace tissue paper with something else if you want :D
Have fun with it!
for some reason I really like drawing dragons in forests
Nuffink: I’m 5, so I get 5 cookies
Hiccup: Nuffink, that’s not really how it works
Tuffnut: *shoving 29 cookies in his mouth*
SixFanarts stuff. (I am afraid that I have to put watermarks on the pictures. )
I drew twelve characters. 😂
@suekis-stuff @littleveltyoung
Black Butler. RandyCunningham from 9th Grade Ninja. Winnie the Pooh (Disney version). Maleficent. Hiccup from How to Train Your Dragon (DreamWorks film version). Edward Elric from Fullmetal Alchemist. Shanhai Qin is my friend's persona (Instagram @ qinshanhai). Link from Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Rick Sanchez from Rick and Morty. Frisk from Undertale. Pidan (the black cat) is my friend's cat (My friend is on Lofter, and her cat is missing atm. ) Florence Yeoh from Florence (game).
Well I really didn't know I could draw this well. The completed drawings are much better than I expected.
I was not in a good mood. I have been having online classes (I like online classes), but I suppose I have difficulties learning traditional art, and some of my courses are kind of disappointing. So I am probably not feeling so good. 😂
I was tired, and this SixFanarts stuff was way more challenging than I imagined. Glad that I finished drawing all the twelve characters. The characters look pretty nice I think. 😂
I made a short video. It shows my layers, so it's a fake process. you can watch it here https://www.instagram.com/p/B_XCMifJU1V/?igshid=1qaq95o3lruw4. Later I might post it to my Bilibili and Weibo. (I thought of creating a YouTube account and I guessed maybe having a channel there would be Interesting, but… nope. I don't plan to go there now. )
There is a two-page little comic about myself here. It's basically my complaints and thoughts. (The Yutyrannus is my persona.)
Seriously, I want to draw DP stuff. I would like to do DannyMay stuff. It sounds fun. (I hope I won't get too frustrated again. 😂)
Rexy Leung's 42nd original post.

I kept wondering what a hybrid between a Night Fury and Cthulhu would look like so I drew this.
HE’S THE SACK OF POTATOES!!— 🤣🤣🤣
(He looks like he’s outta his mind somewhere in fairyland 😂)
So how is astrid making use of high hiccup using? Using him a makeshift deadlift weight by throwing a few sacks of potatoes on him?
Ohhh high hiccup… how I missed you…
What if he IS the sack of potatoes?
Handsome man ✨
back from vacation with some snots for the snotlout enjoyers out there <3
PROTECC THE SNOT
Get behind me snotlout I'll save you from mischaracterization
Once in elementary school someone was picking on me, and after about 10 minutes of it being ignored by the teacher I decided to take matters into my own hands by full body tackling the other kid and biting them. I bring this up because your addition to a post about Hiccup's strength being fueled by anger made me imagine a very feral small Hiccup throwing himself at Snotlout and biting him when enough was enough XD
The biting part is so funny, oml. It’s a good tactic! People don’t expect you to bite them!
I can totally see a smaller Hiccup having done this.
(I love this too much)
saw that one ask and
i could put in more effort but i didn't want to <3
You did this so fast though, oml. 😂😂😂 I love it, actually!!!
