Description Because that's what Ruffnut is. An opportunist.
It's really Hiccup's fault, for being so easy to take advantage of.

Oh, look at me! I'm on a roll! Look at all those colors!


Some Ruffcup art for Valentine's day. Lord knows there won't be enough of it.

This is an illustration from *VinDeamer 's one-shot Loosen Up . Go check it out!

You know what I was thinking, It really shouldn't matter who Hiccup is with in fanart/fiction as long as it isn't some OC/Mary Sue/his dragon. I support sexiness, and art sexiness of Hiccup and his canon-material ladies :3

and it's always fun seeing how he accidentally becomes more of a man-slut

Amen sister!

As long as Hiccup gets some love, I'm a happy girl. With the aforementioned gag-worthy examples excluded, of course.
Though it may have mattered a little when I drew him with Big Boobied Bertha . Haven't quite recovered from that.

Not sure if you read *VinDeamer 's oneshot, but I'm sure any girl in Ruff's position would have been hard pressed not to do the same

Pro-sexiness!

Oh snaps I forgot about Bertha...Hmmm...I'm going to forget again and take the red pill, or was it the blue one?

I've read some of her one shots, but probably not the one you're referring to, if it's the most recent one.

THOUGH I do feel bad for the other three boys not seeming to get any love. Maybe Camicazi could help with that...but then again...seeing them at their obnoxious age like that, I can see why they aren't getting sexed-up except Fishlegs, a sweet enough boy who just suffers from un-aethetic viking syndrome Ok I guess Tuff is passable but he's kind of daft. I mean did you see his valentine? Can't pick up chicks with that

Masterrohan needs to make him run laps

And I just realized I left a sentence unfinished--The most recent oneshot was Get the Hint, where Ruffnut tries to tell Hiccup she's pregnant. And he just happens to have his 'oblivious' goggles on pretty much the entire time.

Oh yes, I heard about that through Vin's Pregger-Ruff drawing.

Blue pill. Definitely the forgetting one. I have a whole stash of them. I think.

Nah, the most recent one is, this was from Loosen Up, when Hiccup keeps Ruff from falling drunk out of her seat and all she registers is 'hands on hips--take advantage now!'

I just saw that valentine! Hilarious!

Yeah, those other boys have some potential in them, but since we followed Hiccup throughout the movie, we saw a deeper glimpse of the man he could someday become, while the other guys had a superficial introduction showing them as just...teenagers. And teenagers on their own are a pretty unflattering species. If httyd had followed Fishlegs, I'm sure we'd only view Hiccup as the accident prone nerd and not as a risk-taking (when push comes to shove) hero we know and love.

I'm having the boys get a little more love when they're older...but, sadly, I only ever seem to be in the mood to draw Hiccup

NIce! Getting better and better with the colors. I like the background- that really is amazing. How did you do it?

The (C) from Ruffnut was hilarious.

AvannaK In reply to FjordMustang [2011-02-14 01:54:35 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! The background is actually a screencap from the movie of the Mead Hall. I had a moment of craftiness . And I used it in a layer, while blurring it, while messing with the opacity. Why couldn't I have learned this quick in school?!

Though, now that I'm looking at this, the table looks like crap :/
Well, now I'm really looking at it. What the hell was I doing? It's like rings of colors that have nothing to do with the lighting or the grain. Oh well! Can't win 'em all.

Oh, how clever! Me like!

I think it's normal for artists and authors to be hard on themselves for their creations. I know I am with mine. Even the brochures and webpages I write for work, when I read them, I cringe.

It's better to be disappointed in ourselves that to have the disappointment of others. At least we know we're capable of doing better anytime we fall short of our own expectations.

Guh, speaking of authoring, I gotta get on mine. Eee!

Like there are no words.

I can't even.

You have just caused all the stars to align and the universe to fall into perfect harmony with all.... this. Oh OHH it's so cute!!!! I'm dying for reals

They're drawn so perfectly I can't even. I just can't. It's perfect. (As you can tell I'm in no mood to critique and to be honest with you your coloring looks AMAZING as far as I'm concerned so no critique even needed 8'D) You just made my whole week, thank you so much!!!

Sorry this isn't like, a legit comment and I'm having a hard time breaking it down and telling you all the things I like about it, so hopefully this euphoric ramble will suffice. ;u;

With your gracious permission I'd love to use this as a preview image for the one-shot itself. It would make my already happy feelings even more happy if that's even possible.

Wait...what?...I don't...let me...hold on...
dfaklweoiuldflk. Yes.

I accept euphoric rambling only on weekends, so you're in luck.

BUT I'M SO GLAD YOU LIEK IT
So many nice words! So close together! I don't know what to do! Making someone's whole week makes my whole week, so now I have six and a half days of happiness ahead. Now I don't know what to say!

But you may absolutely use it as a preview image!

I've never read them either. I'm real slow about getting on things like that. I just sort of learned about her through httyd wiki for my fic and from there my imagination took things way out of control. It's so naughty
