I don't really have any strong feelings towards the Featherhides design, but I feel like they could've done a lot more with it.

I've always praised the fact that Toothless' wings actually look large enough to carry his body:

I mean LOOK at that! I can easily imagine those allowing him to glide and flap hard enough to get him off the ground.

...

THUNDER'S wings, however...

They look so thin. And his body looks so HEAVY. How do those keep him up??!

Concept doodles of The Nine Realms dragons because I fell into spiral with those lmao. I have no idea what to do with Feather so I'm ruling her out for now lmao.

I feel that one of the main problems with D:TNR is that this original dragons are done in one style, dragons from previous series are done in another style and dragons from yet another (Bubblehorn is from some series for really young kids from what I know) are done in yet another style and the creators lump it all together.

And the fact that I'm not fond of The Nine Realms artstyle at all is a private opinion. Mine doesn't rally fit HTTYD universe either but I think it's not hard to translate these design so I hope it works anyway lol

Most important text from pics under the cut:

WU 'N' WEI

I feel like two heads don't work for that dragon but I tried to roll with that.

I give them spinosaurous-like snouts bcuz I wanted to keep it round but non-deformed lookin' (lmao).

Catfish-like whiskers on both jaws and in front of eyes.

Knee bends forwards now (why do they bend backwards in canon design??? I don't understand)

More Zippleback-like legs and body.

I hate their colors and tried to improve it but my brain can't do colors either ಥ_ಥ I feel like it all crashes together...

Personal note: I don't like designs of animals who have colors 50/50 at all but I want them to be recognizable. Color pattern like this feel super unnatural unless it's mutation. Like those birds or butterflies who are half male, half female. It's also my personal headcanon for these two lol

I don't like pattern of their wings bit idk what to give them. I just don't want wings to be solid but different than body color, it just looks kinda awkward??

PLOWHORN

In my opinion, because only her wings are covered in armor they look out of place. Rumblehorns' armor looked more conected to it, because head also looked hard/armored. So I tried to connect her armor to her body a bit more

Horn is no longer made of crystal.

She doesn't grow crystals. Crystals grow on her because of her natural habitat

I give her a bit smaller head

Details of her unique wings. They are still made of skin and bones but folds in more bug-like style

BUBBLEHORN

Bodytype similiar to Terrible Terrors, maybe a bit shorter.

Horns like those of Deadly Nadder.

Eyes like parrots'. Idk why lol

Spikes and scales on legs and tail similiar to those of Night Fury

Tom and Thunder

While the cartoon isn't good, it didn't deserve the extreme vitriol from the fandom either. Hard not to feel a little sorry for them at this point. But no one hates HTTYD more than HTTYD fans, they've made that very apparent over the years.

Okay so I'm thinking about The Nine Realms (for obvious reasons lol) and I think I heard or saw somewhere (this is totally not my original idea, but I don't remember where I got it) someone saying that it would make so much more sense and be so much better if TNR actuallyl took place ON New Berk years later and w the new kids discovering dragons and the hidden world due to their proximity w it.

I think this is SUCH an awesome idea and would honestly be so much better because it would give the show much stronger ties to the orginal series (imo) and open it up for a lot of cool references and callbacks that don't make sense. Why is there an arrowhead or wtv in the Hidden World w the strike class symbol on it? Why is Hiccup's diary in the Hidden World?? WTF?? They're not, they're hidden somewhere on New Berk.

That way it doesn't disrupt canon saying that they LEFT THE DRAGONS ALONE, and it feels less forced. The new kids could all be descendents of the gang, too. I know that having them be descendents w similar features or characteristics or wtv is REALLY far fetched after all of this time and I think that realistically it wouldn't be like that, but for a storytelling purpose I think it'd be okay.

And I think it's fine if Tom is a descendant of Hiccstrid, and all of the rest of the kids are somehow tied to other members of the gang, but I think it'd be REALLY funny if they all had different last names except whoever was related to the Jorgensons. Like the Jorgenson family pride in their name and their lineage just like,, transcended a thousand years and many many many many many generations. It just stuck bc they refused to give it up. (this is like actually the point of this post lol)

Anyway now I want to work on a proper TNR rewrite/reconceptualization with THIS premise and just see how it goes lol

The Nine Realms dragons redesigns~

So I wanted to just play around with some ideas for redesigns for Feathers, Plowhorn, and Wu & Wei. Mostly, I wanted to doodle.

I re-designed feathers to actually have more feathers instead of just a few on her head and tail. She's partially based off of a nightjar bird and I wanted her to be a bit more bird-looking over reptile-looking.

Plowhorn kept her rhino-like look, but I added more armor plating instead of the beetle shell. I also wanted to add more crystals along her body to carry out this design choice smoother.

Wu & Wei's designed were changed to represent that of moray eels, specifically a wink to Floatsam and Jetsam from The Little Mermaid. I wanted them to really carry out that aquatic-look and I think the idea of a dragon being eel-like makes for a more interesting design choice with its irony, haha~

I didn't add Thunder on here because I already have a re-design of him and I just didn't have time for Webmaster.

If TNR is to be considered canon, as in yes, this is actually what happened 1300 years after THW, then my point is made for me. My work here is done. I've nothing more to say, the show did it all for me.

The Nine Realms is concrete proof that Hiccup's plan sucked ass.

I can't help but realize that the gate to Jörmungandr's prison took a long time to make.

Like... look at this thing. Look at the tiny Dragon Club in the bottom right corner. Look at them compared to the gate Hiccup and the Dragon Riders put there!

This thing took weeks if not months to construct. Between engraving the warning into the wood, (just one rune is roughly the size of a person) finding the trees necessary for the wooden parts, transporting them this deeply into the Dark realm... And then finding plus melting and forging all the metal parts of this thing, (including giant nails to keep it together and whatnot) transporting all that metal deep within, actually constructing the gate then putting the entire thing together... And then there is the locking mechanism designed specifically for Night Furies to open. It had to be both human and dragon-proof... and they had to do all of this with the red dragonsite's gasses poisoning them with each trip there and back, tearing down their serotonin levels, causing depression and anger on top of the stress of knowing there's a dragon like Jörmungandr out there.

This thing had to have been made before he was caught and imprisoned. There would've been no time to build it after his defeat.

That has to mean that, first trouble had to be brewing enough for Hiccup to find out something was extremely wrong. Then he had to find out what was wrong. Then he had to come up with a plan and get his Dragon Riders involved. (No way he built this entire thing by himself, he would need heavy machinery/dragons and manpower as well as time.) And then they had to actually make that gate.

It probably took such a long time. Weeks if not months, like I said earlier.

Weeks if not months of this thing out there, doing whatever it did to make Hiccup, resident dragon protector, lock it away for the safety of all of dragon(and presumably human)kind for as long as he could be contained. This construction had to last.

The Dragon Riders probably worked tirelessly, they probably had to fend this thing off so many times to protect other dragons but also to protect themselves and each other, and it all led up to that one final battle that finally locked it away.

Okay, you guys might think I'm an idiot for not knowing this very simple fact about Hiccup. But.

I didn't know that...a haddock was a kind of fish. I just thought that was his name. And up until I saw that one Nine Realms episode where Tom's all "Isn't that a kind of fish?" I HAD NO IDEA.

And let me tell you, I LAUGHED my little HEAD off about it for two minutes lollllllllll

*snort* Hiccup Haddock.

Concept doodles I did specifically for redesign of The Nine Realms Night Lights but could actually work for Light Furies too (I mean colors)

They are very late, but Bubblehorn's existence was reminded to me and I found that I could try to do a redesign for it, but I got distracted and ended up with Night Lights lol

Kinda inspired by @/sparrowlucero's idea of Night Furies colors working like those of wolves so they aren't all black.

These Night Lights are just ideas and there probably would be possible different versions of each patterns but idk. Just ideas

And Thunder's design diss lmao

Now I think his tail fins should be bigger but I'm too lazy to come back to it now so let's agree it's bigger. Mostly longer.

Text from pic + some notes under the cut

For all we know Toothless was the last Night Fury, so it's theoretically impossible that after so many years his descendants would continue to have black coloration, especially that much of it (unless they are heavily inbreed what after looking at those models is possible-)

To distinguish our main dragon (because apparently the saddle is not enough???) from other representatives of the specie as well as dragons from the background, I thought it would be an interesting option to give the Light Furies (whose genes should now predominate, if not completely supplant those of the Night Fury) and Night Lights a naturally varied color scheme.

Since the popular interpretation is that Light Furies are a semi-aquatic variety of Furies I thought aquatic animals would be the best inspiration. There I have only dolphins but probably some other could be used too (like sharks??)

Thunder is, of course, inspired by the Killer Whale. Mainly because I didn't want to change his design very much.

Notes:

All tail fins are shaped more like those of Light Fury but are ragged like those of Night Fury. I didn't write it on the doodle but wings are more like NF (they are kinda bat-like and dragons were living uderground.)

The wings have a much larger connection to his flank, giving a surface area that gives him the actual ability to fly

The legs are somewhere between NL and LF. Bulkier than LF, slimmier than NF

I kept his big ears. They are funky

Plus I made his body longer and neck thicker
