Gift of the Night Fury (deleted) bad dream scene animation attempt

   

First of all, Happy Snoggletog to all fans! My gift this year for you guys is a video that no one has ever done before. Well... as you can see on the thumbnail, this is the deleted dream scene from the short Gift of the Night Fury. Although in behind of scenes video the storyboard was shown, the animation never got done... well until now. Mostly, because I fantasize a lot how that scene would have looked if it had been made and also why such a wonderful scene had to be cut out. If DreamWorks refused to do it, then I'll finish it for them. :)

So the motivation was there, it just had to be done. Yeah... The latter one was a bit harder. This article will give you a glimpse into the background process to see why those 35 seconds cost me dozens of hours.

8th anniversary of HTTYD (for me)! *Updated* (2026.06.10.)

It's been 8 years since I've met the world of HTTYD and it made me a lifelong enthusiast. So, this red letter day deserves a very special post! I've been considering for some time, that I should make a catalogue of what kind of HTTYD relics I own. Somewhere I found it too personal to show them all, but recently I really felt it's time for it... Come to think of it, this way I don't always have to explain anymore who's interested in them what features or abilities they have. So yes, in this post I'll show you all the pieces I have in my collection. Their number is constantly growing, (especially lately) so it's getting a bit of a mess. For this reason, it would be nice to keep track of where my collection has expanded over the years. The post will be updated when a new artifact arrives!

Hatchday + Blog update

So, it’s my hatchday (the 35th) and as always, since it's a red letter day for me, I want to announce something. This time, (while I’m still working on the other projects) I updated the blog!

As you might noticed, a new icon has been added on the right sidebar. You can switch languages now between English and Hungarian.

Originally, I planned an English page only, but recently there were a few people who got interested in my blog, but they didn’t speak English. For them, I translated the whole blog, so they can read it too. It was a lot of work, but eventually, I’m so happy that I made this update! Very convenient and now I covered everyone. So no more excuses! :)

I’m planning to do a WIP post soon, a very interesting one, but I’ll need a bit more time. It will worth the wait, cause it will be a great opportunity to see really behind the curtains!

Also, I just bought something that is… umm… let’s just say… This will be amongst the most epic ones and also will be very heavy! Gotta wait a few months to arrive, but when it arrives… Oh boy!

But that’s all for now!

See you on the next post!

Riders, we have a problem! (*April fools joke*)

I have really bad news… There is a great possibility, that my Toothless mod for ARK and my other HTTYD projects (also Pacific Wars) has to be postponed, because one of my drives went bad, so there was a great loss of data. (It was more like an archive drive btw, but I also used it for other projects too. Mostly my personal ones, so maybe this is why the fate particularly targeted that drive which stored my mostly beloved projects... Just for an extra kick in the sack, that’s for sure!) I made backups, but the most recent one is around 3 weeks old. The thing is, I progressed a LOT since then! Very heart wrenching to see all that precise work and care go into nothing. Very sad and I feel a part of my soul also died with those files. I don’t know, if I could redo those animations in that quality again from scratch, but I don’t have a chance. This means I have to delay again, at least for a month. I also feel betrayed, because why it has to happen particularly with those projects! I’m broken inside, utterly disappointed in technology and just feel miserable right now. At a point, I know I will start over, but I need some time to get back on my feet.

I have some footages from the original one though. Now, I pondered about that animation sequence and concluded that, maybe I pushed a little too far… and could be a little more "compact" and optimized. So, the new one won't look anywhere near like the old one, so this is why show you before release. At least not everything is lost! (But it's just a bitter solace).

A great loss… (*April fools joke*)

I hoped I never will be in this situation, but apparently, I had no other choice. I tried to avoid it as far as I could, but recently I was in a really desperate situation, and radical problems needs radical solutions…

Sigh… Well… How can I put this…. I’m kind of ashamed to announce, but I had to sell a great portion of my Toothless collection. :'( 

A lot of my personal belongings also went, like a bunch of used computer parts, some phones and even my fairly new laptop. But, my Toothless collection was the hardest to let go, because I was really fond to them.

I hope nobody ever get into this kind of financial situation! It’s really awful and painful at the same time. :(

I contacted local HTTYD fans in a facebook group, who might find something they didn’t had and I showed them my „inventory”. They were interested, and after some back and forth messaging, the deal was made. They offered a reasonable amount of money for them, and a few days ago, they came and my precious Toothless's went... They are loyal fans, and it's a solace in all this misery to know, that my Toothless's are in good hands. All this sacrifice was not in vain though. The money I've got was just enough to pay off my dues.

Here’s the list of the casualties:

- Sideshow Toothless statue 

- Sideshow Toothless art print 

- 2 Spinning tail Toothless action figures 

- Missile attack Night Fury 

- HTTYD: THW Toothless figure 

- Two HTTYD framed posters 

- 3 Toothless T-shirts (never been used) 

- Mega Toothless

I greatly miss them, but the story isn't over, I wrote the details below. If you want to know, click read more…

Blog design update (Finally!)

The time has come, to finally make the blog’s design more… appealing.

Introduction

After much consideration, I decided, that I make a blog, to post HTTYD related content and share some of my personal stuff with you (mostly my ongoing projects (3d animations, behind the scenes, footage, etc.).

Ok, so foreshadowing what kinda stuff will be in here, I post some very early renders from my upcoming animated short film Pacific Wars. (This will be a sequel to Desert Wars). For those who don't know what I'm talking about, here is a link to the first episode:
