Description OMG babies!!??? Newbs of all sorts: babies and parents...

Yeah. This was for ~Megcull who asked 100 years ago for some cute baby-parenting scenes with the Astrid/Hiccup and Ruffnut/Fishlegs pairings...mostly based off my writings.

It was perfect because this is going to make her head explode from cuteness, I'm in a hypothetical children phase anyhow, and now I can plug the two stories about the babies. [Svenan the younger at top, Frostbite at the bottom]

Oh and by the way it is bitch hard to draw a newborn baby because they look like old men and it's really awkward to be looking up newborn baby on google and have hundreds of refrences to look through while your boyfriend walks by and gives you a bunch of
o.O
O.o
...WTF?!
looks
and then having to explain it's for your a fanart request of your greatest obsession.
So to say, he slumped off, relieved that my biological clock hadn't sprung it's alarm but my nerd points sky-rocketed in his book [not necessarily a good thing, lol].


Anyway enjoy your cutespasms. I'm out!

Cheers!

Looks like Ruff tore off some of Fishlegs' beard while in labor.

Newbs? Nobody uses the word "Newbie" anymore. I guess "Noobs" sounds too modern, too Halo, too Modern Warfare.....

Y'know, neither Astrid or Ruffnut automatically strike me as the 'maternal' sort. I'd bet that pregnancy was one long angst-fest of "How can I do this? I have no idea how to do this!" Then the babies were born and, suddenly, it all seemed to work itself out.

Beautiful work. The characters were instantly recognisable. You got the babies looking right too.

ch4rms In reply to BenRG [2011-09-03 00:02:27 +0000 UTC]

I know, they do not strike as ones with maternal instinct! I did a series of fanfictions about their lives after the movie and going through those and into the actual chapters where these babies appear it;'s not so WTF?OOC!

But you have a point that with your 9-months-of-angst. As you can even read in the chapter about Ruffnut's 9 months, Fish had to be a total champion to deal with her even through his own apprehensions.

I think though, yeah once a baby pops out there's an inherent maternal instinct in those ladies, they are just so relieved it's over and will do anything to protect and care for that thing they gave nine months of their life to carrying.

Thank you! I do like psuedo-genetics meshing in art

Awwwwwww...

The baby Frostbite is adorable. In fact, all of these characters are drawn delightfully. My only critique would be the size of Fish's nose, which I think is a teeny bit too big.

Despite that though, I looooove it!

ch4rms In reply to Madame-Bronte [2011-01-24 04:18:02 +0000 UTC]

When I sit down to draw Fishlegs, I always think his one defined facial aspect is his bulbish nose, so sometimes I overdo it while still trying for a middle ground between less-cartoon and more realish style.

Ha, ha.

I've looked up weirder things on my computer for art research, believe me.

I love Fishlegs' expression as he watches Ruffnut sleep, it's just right and very Fishlegs.

Astrid and Hiccup together, yay!! I love family portraits and by the way, you did a great job with the babies. I can't draw them either.

Thanks! Yeah Fishlegs has that look on purpose but in the end I think he's kind of creepy lol. watching them sleep but it's his right he's a new daddy

Toriyama-Kino-90 In reply to ch4rms [2010-11-16 01:31:20 +0000 UTC]

Ha, ha. Well, he's definitely the type to be an overly doting father. Him and Hiccup both are definitely like that. They married strong willed women so one in each couple needs to be the softie.

^_^ Overall since we both know what the characters are like it's just plain adorable.

Fishlegs *is* so a doting father. I have a whole chapter that addresses it lol. Exactly, the daddy's are a bunch of softies do you have Aim? It'd be fun to live chat with you sometime

Toriyama-Kino-90 In reply to ch4rms [2010-11-16 02:24:51 +0000 UTC]

Ha, ha. True that. I love it. You should write a chapter in your followup series from the seasons stories where Hiccup and Fishlegs bond over fatherhood with their kids. It'd be awesome.

Yes, I do as a matter of fact. Though I won't be able to hop on until TG (when I get my life back). -_-...

I can just IMAGINE what your boyfriend was thinking!! XD Already looking at newborn baby pictures, a lot of things must've been going threw his mind! XD!!!! You can probably regain those nerd points by, I dunno, robbing a bank?
I like....the top panel better, probably cuz it was my favorite scene And you even drew the little finger holding!!! How adorable!

LOL, you know why he thinks they steal left socks? Because he doesn't wear them anymore since he has a peg leg so probably just lost them himself over the years and so blames the 'trolls'

My sister troll did steal my left socks though..the right ones too.

Aw, very sweet scenes. I noticed that Svenan's holding Hiccup's finger like in your story I think I like Ruff & Legs the best; Frostbite looks fantastic and Ruffnut just has such a serene expression.

Oh and by the way it is bitch hard to draw a newborn baby because they look like old men and it's really awkward to be looking up newborn baby on google and have hundreds of refrences to look through while your boyfriend walks by and gives you a bunch of

D'aww

Yeah I was actually drawing the Astrid-Hiccup one first and then got that request to do Svenan's birth scene so I wrote it to fit the picture for once, not the other way around.

Ruff is just like...exhausted but she finally has her baby and she didn't die! Oh and I purposely made Fishlegs do the ':meow': face lol

I'm glad my behind-the-scenes anecdote brought you chuckles
