Is... is that Hiccup? O.O Very much so. From the first movie coming out to three years later, I had a huge thing for him. Nowadays I've calmed down, but I still love his character and that movie, and when I heard about self insert day, I decided it was an opportunity I couldn't pass up XD (don't ask me about the sequel, though, I've never seen it) ... You need to see it. Imo, it beats the original. And I loved the original to death, too. Plus Hiccup looks mad good in the second one. <3

Plus Hiccup looks mad good in the second one. <3 Ohh trust me, I've seen how he looks in the sequel XD To be honest, though, I think he looks a bit too... fan service-y there, as well as too much of a "hero that gazes into the distant sunset cause he's so heroic." The thing I liked about him in the first movie is that although he turns into the hero, he doesn't act with the "says a few jokes but knows when to be serious" blandness other heroes have. At least to me, he feels much more natural, like an actual teenaged person. I don't really get that in the second movie. Believe me, though, I'm sure it's a great movie, and just looking at the animation has me impressed. It's mostly personal stuff that's kept me away, and I'd rather leave in peace the closed doors the sequel would probably open. I dunno, I just don't think it's my movie.

I've got a secret: I've started early early prewriting for a hopeful project, and I've just got one thing to say... Is there some men issue I need to talk about?? Also, sorry for the huge signature. I'm just really paranoid about displaying this new design.

Group picture and new profile pic! I realized a bit too late that this is very similar to an old profile picture, it just has Jonathon now, but ah well. It was still fun making this :3

It was still fun making this :3 Whoa really dig the colors on this one! The grey scale in your comics look sharp, but I had been wondering what your Neopets looked like IN COLOR. Do you have reference sheets for your characters? I think they're cool. x//D

It can be refreshing to actually use color with these guys X3 I do use references for them, both in color and in gray scale. The colors are the original pictures, and then I use the grayscale function on a copied version X) They're all very old pictures, though, so they're sort of painful to look at X3

Here's the full size picture of Twillie Jagarson, since this is used as my profile pic in Spirit Week. Twillie was made back in 2009, but I haven't touched her for about three years, so it's nice to see how my art with her has progressed since then :3 The background is a bit plain, but I made this pretty fast.

Hey, you can do it, I believe in you~ I really think the only thing you might change is the pastel half of the BG, as it dulls the vibrancy of Zathandria's dress. Perhaps you could try leaving it white? After all, you have a very stylistic image here (reminiscent of fashion photography), and leaving the background blank would inspire viewers to focus more on the figure! Of course, if you think it looks underwhelming without a background, you could even try adding a small, stylish design/element (idk, to me it looks like she could be surrounded by petals or something. : D) But I really like the pose, as well as the way you framed the piece over all. Zathy looks especially lovely, and GAH I LOVE the dress design. : D You have my vote for sure, and I'm sure you would do very well if you entered!

I made an edited version of the picture with this advice in mind, so I think I'll compare the looks of the two (pastel vs white bg) and choose from there. Thanks for the pointers! :3

It's about time I drew something for my new favorite guy. I also have a background-less version: I'm sort of iffy with the first version, as I feel it's too busy. I dunno, though, it could be just fine X)

So, the Neopian Times birthday issue is out, but it looks like I submitted my comic a bit too late XD Ah well, that's probably what I get, so I'll just put here what I submitted late Sunday night
