an arrow to your heart, a blade on your back. i hate you.

studying a little bit more anatomy and weapon designs featuring vigcup! + i think hiccup would be a fantastic archer, considering how much of a good aim he's shown to have throughout the show, comics, etc. viggo strikes me as someone who would surprise people with how adept he is with halberds/spears. i will probably explore this somehow in my thegn AU, and i may draw other httyd characters with their secondary weapons.

Viggo httyd 2 design !

FINALLY finished w/ this piece augh. Now I can start drawing something else instead of this hell.

Anyhoo, this is a small Viggo redesign if he ended up surviving after the whole Triple Cross episode. Decided to give him more fur aspects, and I added a few more spikes (or at least sharper ones). Also Viggo with gray hair strands omg??

Anyway, rip king

thinking about how viggo is such a good narrative foil / parallel for hiccup, and one of the things that popped into my mind is that it's actually really important to their dynamic that viggo is significantly older than him, and not someone around his age. (and this is a pattern that we see with a lot of the franchise's antagonists, but it particularly stands out to me with viggo).

because viggo is, essentially, the type of person hiccup could have become if he hunted dragons instead of trained them. and he has so much more experience hunting dragons than hiccup does training them.

and hiccup's story has always been about overcoming these impossible odds, about the weakling, the underdog, standing up for himself and accomplishing great things. and that's exactly what happens with his conflict with viggo. he goes up against this person who represents what he could have become, except viggo is stronger, more experienced -- and hiccup still wins anyway.

the next level of did you know viggo mortensen broke his toe when he kicked the helmet and is actually also screaming in pain there: did you know sean bean taped the script to his knee because they only gave him the script that morning and you can see him looking down when he says one does not simply walk into mordor
