Astrid Goes for a Spin

Contest entry for #TheArt-of-NightFury.

"Thank you for everything, you useless reptile."

Oh Hiccup, Toothless deserves all the credit for making Astrid fall for you.

Astrid meeting Toothless was pretty much one of my favorite scenes. I'm surprised that she survived that ordeal. I'm no fan of roller coasters myself and I would probably have fainted and let go of Toothless. XD

This picture was extremely tough. The hair--omgosh, painting the hair drove me nuts and took me about an hour and a half. Hands and teeth are also in the same category--my first attempt looked like the hand was ridden with some sort of disease. o_o. Although painting Astrid's skirt was a lot of fun.

I just realized why I hated deadlines so much--I guess I'm just that bad of a procrastinator. xD My hands are suffering from major cramps. I pretty much speed-painted on poor Hiccup and Toothless.

I am not quite finished with this picture yet. I will update it with edits after voting ends around June 15.
