I'm currently working on the Book of Dragons from HTTYD(click for next; translations are after my whole process thing)! -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It's kind of a lot of work 0-o I had to first find all the dragons that actually appear in the movies/tv shows(not Nine Realms or Rescue Riders), then organize them by rarity(using my HTTYD knowledge and the Dragonpedia). Then I had to make a very big decision: what writing do I use???? I ruled out English because I wanted it to be authentic lol; then I looked up what writing was used in the first movie(when hiccup first opened the Book of Dragons), and I found this(copy and paste the link): https://i.pinimg.com/originals/45/d8/c1/45d8c1974df2b02b67e79b4a1565f774.png Once that was all figured out, I had to find a book to put all this in. I settled on this sketchbook, which had brownish pages. Then I had to glue on a cover so that it looked like the real thing(it was so bad because the original sketchbook cover was textured T-T). Then I tore out some pages, so I'd have the exact amount that I wanted. I think I have around 70 dragons to do, plus the inside cover, dragon class page, and some other things. I won't dive deep into how I made the actual dragon pages because it takes too long. Anyway, here are the translations for each page! -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Cover (No words lol, just this dragon that I think I did very well on!) 2. Inside cover thing (FROM TOP TO BOTTOM) The Book of Dragons Bork the Bold Updated by: Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third Fishlegs Ingerman Astrid Hofferson Snotlout Jorgenson Ruffnut Thorston Tuffnut Thorston 3. Dragon Classes (FROM TOP) Dragon Classes (IN A CIRCLE TO THE RIGHT, FROM THE TOP AND CENTER ONE) Strike Mystery Stoker Boulder Sharp Tidal Tracker 4. Mystery Class page (TOP TO BOTTOM) Mystery Mystery Class dragons are very slippery and elusive. Little is known about these extremely dangerous dragons. 5. Hideous Zippleback (I'll just give you the facts, and you can decide for yourself where they are placed lol) Hideous Zippleback Mystery Class Rarity: Common Size: Larger Trainable: Yes Habitat: Caves, forests Attack: 12 Speed: 10 Armor: 10 Firepower: 14 Shot Limit: 6 Venom: 0 Jaw Strength: 6 Stealth: 22 Hideous Zipplebacks are very unique dragons. They have two heads; one breathes gas, and the other lights it with a spark, causing a large explosion. However, being part of the same body, both minds have different personalities and different thoughts. Hideous Zipplebacks are very solitary creatures. Also, they have adequate problem-solving capabilities. (Arrows pointing to snouts) Two heads, twice the smell (Arrows pointing to wings) Small wings (Arrows pointing to tail) Split tail (Arrows pointing to limbs) Stubby legs At the top of the right-side page is a picture of a Zippleback's egg. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sorry about the pictures; I pinky-swear they look better irl. If you have any questions about the process or anything, feel free to ask! I might share every 5 pages or so.
