All The Best Art Is On Here Fr

some lambs i really liked :3c + repost of a closeup of an important detail

also some info about my lamb, ramzi, under the cut;

[he/they/it for ramzi!]

hard to know where to start, so i guess ill start from the top? ramzi remembers everything before being executed, including having [admittedly murky] memories of his parents.

its mother gave them to ratau because she believed it'd be the safest place for her precious lamb, and her assumption was mostly true

they were left with that adorned handkerchief as a memento of its parents, and he's incredibly attached to it, even if the very sight of it makes him cry

shamura had been the one to catch ramzi in a trap- and despite his pleading he was given no mercy, it causes a rift between them later when it saves shamura from purgatory that will eventually be mended

he refuses to show his grief to anyone, especially the former bishops, and definitely not narinder. they don't wish to worry anyone, though resentment is absolutely a big part of it too, whether the lamb acknowledges it or not...

i'll definitely explain more but after a lot of hard work the lamb eventually enters a polycule and marries all of the former bishops (including narinder) we love toxic yaoi here.

should mention i was listening to 'its been raining' by kimya dawson for the last sketch here and fighting back tears MY BABY LAMB UGHHHHH.....,

Time to flex my Batter 3d model again +viewport

rain and melancholy

I feel like the live action can learn a couple things from the stage show, especially color/pattern wise.

These are the two best dragon designs in the whole stage show and the colors are so pretty. The proportions also feel better, they have so much character! I also think the live action needs to be a bit crisper with the animation. The dragons feel weirdly bloomed out and hiccup doesn't really feel part of the scene lighting wise..

I'm not saying this stage show DOESN'T have problems with the dragon designs, just my thoughts of what can be improved.

Also give Hookfang gharial eyes!! They gave the terrible terror chameleon eyes, come on!!

Have you seen the live action HTTYD designs? what do you think?

Honestly I think people are being a bit harsh on them. The big pitfalls I usually see with realistic reimaginings of animated/illustrated creatures is that they either just try to copy the design 1:1, seemingly without a lot of understanding of anatomy/style, or go the opposite direction and treat everything as cartoon exaggeration, toning down or removing features that exist in the real world for the sake of realism. most of these are basically fine on both counts, it looks like the character designers are actually trying to engage with what the original designs are communicating while also not forcing themselves to be 100% fidelic to them. Most of these are not bad designs to me. I will say I 1) don't like the zippleback; maybe it looks better in movement but off the first few images it seems like they just kind of ditched all the interesting (and genuinely reptilian) elements of the original, like it's alligator/lizard-like stance and the way it's spines look like a zipper, in favor of a pretty generic/less visually interesting design:

and 2) I mentioned before I'm really not big on the redesign toothless has throughout the animated movies; the sequels gave him an increasingly flatter, more humanish face with big "eyebrows" and I think it looks way less cute/less like a real animal. the live action design is very obviously referencing this later design and I think it looks pretty rough here too, honestly a bit uncanny valley:

side note: i always thought my harshness on this design choice was a kind of mean hot take but the other day i went into the httyd tumblr tag and man they are so much meaner than me. look at this
