Hi hi! I tried to find some Dr whooves drawings of yours and only saw one! Your style is amazing and well, he’s my favorite. I also love neon lights! If anyone remembers him lol. I’d love to see either one! :)
During September to the start of December I worked none stop, unfortunately not on this blong 🥲 I stall at conventions as part time and then have another job thats supposed to be part time but its not all time. Ive worked ive worked 10 days straight at that place several times over the winter period. Along with that on my days off ill be drawing art to make keyrings, stickers and prints, ill print my prints and stickers at home that can take a very long time so my "days off" I spent work my art. Which i enjoy a lot! But leaves little time to work on this and unfortunately I can't draw when im tired or it will look bad 🥲 so from September and October I didnt really get a break at all because most of the cons were during that time ^^" my work also doesn't like to class cons as work, I have to put them through as holiday! So I was working the day before con and after which honestly killed me ToT
But I should hopefully get back to updating soon! I currently have one con each month except April where I dont have one which was my usual before September, September and October I had 2 cons each and one at the end of November which is 5 in 3 months! It was a lot! Id love you only do cons but I cant yet!
Anyway as I was digging up the files I had been working on before getting busy I came to find they had gone missing....hehe...yaaaay!! At least have the backgrounds and i remember the plot i had planned so hopefully I should update soon, im gonna try and at least sketch a large section out before pumping out updates
So if you havw question get them in now !
Ive got to get to a certain part in this blog before I can update @ask-the-docs-companions , the events in this blog are set before that one but id liked to cover a certain part and then I can update that one ^^
I’d like to give a huge thanks to @magpiederp for bringing this long awaited scene of the story. They have been such an awesome artist in this project and if you haven’t all seen their work already I strongly recommend taking a look at their blog to see what other works they’ve made.

I suprised myself by finishing this because I was getting close to dropping it like many of my other illustrations, but I pulled through! And now, now, now there is cutie dad-son thingy! HOPE YOU LIKE IT!
more of httyd cowboys AU (I will never shut up about it <33)
(yap below the cut)
Hayden Hickok (AKA Hiccup) befriends a wild black stallion which he names Toothless
Set in a romanticised & fictional Old West.
Fishlegs is Hiccup’s best friend. The Ingermans are a wealthy family. They paid for Fishlegs’ tutoring as a kid, so he grew up to be a scholar, feeding his fascination with botany and animals. Fishlegs has a pet pony named Meatlug, who he adores. Fishlegs is the one to urge Hiccup to talk to Astrid and her group when they first arrive in town because he needed a wingman after laying eyes on Ruffnut and being enamoured with her. Later on Hiccup drags him and Meatlug along on their cowboy adventure.
Astrid and Hiccup were friends in their childhood. Astrid’s family was not well off, and realising her only option for things to improve in her hometown was marriage, she left the town of Berk when she was 13 to earn money as a cowgirl. She returns for a job in Berk years later, with her new band of cowboys (Ruff, Tuff and Lout). Hiccup, ecstatic on her return, is about to tell her about his new horse, when they hear of Drago Bludvist, a man who wreaks havoc across the country in search of the legendary Night Fury. It is said that the one who tames the Night Fury has tamed the spirit of the west itself.
At first Hiccup tries to hide Toothless from the newcomers in a barn, but Astrid catches him in the act. She runs off to tell her gang but Hiccup and Toothless catch up to her and Hiccup, after sharing a trail ride with Astrid on Toothless, convinces Astrid to escort them to Drago to change his mind about capturing Toothless.
The other cowboys are reluctant about the whole idea. With Hiccup only having one leg, a long day of horse riding would require frequent breaks and the group doesn’t want him to slow them down. But Astrid insists on him coming, and defends him if they push too far.
Ruffnut and Tuffnut make a lot of meta western movie jokes (I suspect they’re aware they’re in a western AU). They also have a lot of useless random knowledge amongst their ramblings that jumpscares Fishlegs many times. They enjoy wreaking havoc when they can, wearing disguises and scamming random travellers for extra coin (they have sold many people Thorston&Thorston miracle snake oil). They have been known to cross dress, which doesn’t help people mistaking them for each other. Astrid and Snotlout can tell them apart and know not to fall for their tricks, but Hiccup and Fishlegs are more gullible. The twins are in charge of the chuckwagon. Barf & Belch are their quarter horses that pull their wagon. Ruff & Tuff often fight over who is the actual boss of the wagon (they still haven’t decided).
Snotlout is a cowboy purist. He idolises the Vaqueros and leans more into their fashion, and the stereotypical Hollywood ideal of what a cowboy should be. In this AU his mother is also Mexican, and growing up he learned Spanish. (This helps the cowboy gang a lot make trades and take on more jobs) Before Hiccup came along, Snotlout considered himself very close to getting with Astrid. He gets jealous and defensive when Astrid finds Hiccup in her hometown, but denies being intimidated. Hookfang is very hot blooded and enjoys annoying/not listening to Snotlout.
While on the trail to find Drago they encounter many familiar faces such as Dagur, Heather and Eret!
Since I started the AU I’ve been down so many rabbit holes, learning about cowboys, horses and history. As someone who does not live in America it’s been really fascinating to learn about the old west. For me the goal with these redesigns is to make the characters seem more believable within the realms of a cowboy story, not just riding off of stereotypes from movies. It’s also helped me learn the limitations of the setting but at the same time given me so many new ideas for how to better fit the characters in an old west setting. Let me know what y’all think of their new looks!
