Edit: I Know the dragon is called the RED Death 
The title of this picture is named after the song on the soundtrack, which is titled "Green" death for some reason.
I know I was going to do these in order, but I just had to do this one now. For "Battling the Green Death" I wanted to focus on that one VERY short part of the song that still sometimes brings tears to my eyes. The part where Stoick apologizes to Hiccup and says he is proud to be his son. One of my absolute FAVORITE moments in the movie AND soundtrack. Theres just something about how tiny Hiccup looks up there, and how Stoick covers half his arm just holding his hand. It makes everything seem so big and dangerous and epic. the soundtrack is equally amazing at this part. It is a short reprise of one of the main themes, with soft drums in the background and it is just as sincere in its emotion as the scene in the movie is. It starts at about 4:40 on this track

It is so short and it somehow still manages to make my eyes water.
One of the reasons I'm still pissed this soundtrack didn't win the Oscar
Anyway, quick speed paint before school. Krita and Gimp, testing out the poster edges filter. Not meant to look completed, I spent probably less than an hour on this.

Overall Vision Originality
Technique ImpactI honestly love this piece. The quasi-watercolor technique used to render the background is gorgeous. I'm soaking in the environment which bodes well for your art in general. If you truly did complete this over the course of an hour then my hat's off to you.
Some things to consider: silhouette, silhouette, silhouette. The interaction between Hiccup and Stoic isn't easily readable for several reasons. Stoic is a generally dark mass overlaid on top of Toothless (another dark mass). Stoic is facing away from the camera robbing him of a facial expression and right arm gesture. They're placed far from the camera which isn't a bad thing in and of itself but without a strong silhouette, becomes muddled.
Consider treating all three characters as a single object and black them out. If you can still tell what's happening then it doesn't matter how far you place them away from the point of view.
Other than that glaring issue, you did a fantastic job. I'd also like to take this opportunity to voice my appreciation for your receptiveness to criticism. Keep it up.
