you're a girl?!

I am??? WTF?!

that first person looked female to me!

:O MADNESS!!

GIRLS ON THE INTERNET?!?!

GOOD GOD!!!

CROWNFLAME HAS TITS WHICH MEANS WE SHOULD'VE BEEN OBNOXIOUSLY HITTING ON HER THIS ENTIRE TIME??

WHY DIDN'T SHE TELL US, SO WE COULD OBNOXIOUSLY HIT ON HER??

WE FEEL SLIGHTED. WE ARE ENTITLED TO THIS IMPORTANT INFORMATION THAT IS COMPLETELY RELEVANT TO ENJOYMENT OF HER ARTWORK!

seriously wasn't aware it was such a secret (well, if it is, GOOD). I mean, people are always frustrated with how few tits I draw. HUH, THERE MIGHT BE A REASON OR TWO FOR THAT!

And abruptly the Masses of Fans and myself finally find out Crownflame's Gender is NOT what we thought..

LOL! I've actually posted several drawn self portraits: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6283664/ http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6178875/ http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6178868/ and have been hosting miked Livestreams that reveal my voice for about a year: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6H.....p;feature=plcp https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdf.....feature=relmfu

Soooo.... not really a secret, lol. Though I don't scream it from the highest mountain, since dudes automatically assume I want to eat them or be hit on or something. Thankfully, these ugly horrifying pictures will dissuade them, I'm sure. :3

I have clearly not looked that far back in your gallery as I've never seen those pics.. Nor do any of them really show tits so I might've mistaken the character for a boy. And I've never been to your youtube.

Your prize is this: http://www.anythingcomic.com/comics.....dly-nightfury/

Tits: clearly the most important feminine feature.

Exactly why I don't particularly care if anyone knows either way. XP

God damn, the dragons are absolutely gorgeous. And all this for a stage show pretty much! Hell, most movies can't even pull off such beautiful creations.

I know it breaks up the "scary dark Night Fury" look, but I really do like the little bit of pink on Toothless. Looks REALLY nice... The Nightmare is just beautiful though, all the dragons have such awesome eyes. Gah, I want like, friggin' toys or figurines based off these versions. Siiigh, friggin' Oklahoma never gets cool shit like this to come around...

They were, even up close. EVEN THOUGH 95% OF PEOPLE WILL NEVER SEE THEM UP CLOSE. Definitely a lot of love and pride involved in the tech, here.

I don't mind the pink, though his tiny eyes were kind of odd. I actually liked the Gronckle's emoting, with her much, much simpler face (she had, and forgive me for lack of political correctness, the charismatic attitude of a proud black woman), better than Toothless', which really surprised me.

One of the making-of videos they had playing showed one of their eyeballs! It was perfectly round and fully detailed. Pretty damn awesome.

I feel you. I'm in Kansas, and I had to drive 15 hours to this venue... which was the CLOSEST ONE TO ME. But they actually told us on the tour that the show just can't be supported in most arenas, so they're not just being elitist about where they're going or anything-- they just literally cannot go to our region because we have no place for them. :(

Now I wanna go too! That looks so incredibly AWESOME! That Nightmare really was big enough to eat someone, and Toothless. Oh god Toothless
And on a side note: YOU'RE A GIRL? Holy shit, never would've guessed.

Never would've guessed? GOOD! :D

And yeah, all the dragons were big enough... and that Nightmare? HE TOTALLY WENT FOR IT. Like, he almost had Rileyburgers :)

In this scene (which is equivalent to the "Did anybody see that? Except for you" scene in the movie), directly after this shot: http://www3.pictures.zimbio.com/gi/....._8dWtmJV4l.jpg

the Nightmare literally ducks down and noses at his toes. Right before Stoick comes in, it literally looks like it's just about moving to to shove its jaw under, scoop him all in, and swallow him up. :) Doesn't happen of course, but I was delighted how close it seemed to be. XD

Holy crap, you look exactly like one of my cousins.

And I am soooooooooooooo envious right now.

Hahaha, I have that effect on a lot of people, actually!

Yeah, it wasn't easy making a 15 hour trip to get there, but man, fangasm to the extreme. :)

WOW! So envious, you have nooo idea! I wanted to go to this so bad, but sadly plans fell through. It looks so awesome and GAHH, SO BIG! SO MUCH MOUTH!

Also I'm surprised you're a girl as well only because you like vore! I've only known one other girl that like it. Perhaps most find it disgusting? Now why would THAT be... ;)

Dang! I'm sorry to hear that!

They did have lovingly detailed mouths. Like, I stuck my face in that Gronckle's? And even though it has a prop-hole and smoke equipment and a lighting instrument inside, IT STILL LOOKED SO REAL. XD

I know lots of girls who like vore, actually. But pretty much all of us are pretty hush-hush about it, mostly because for some reason there are dudes who think that because we have compatible genitalia, we want to eat them or something. XD So maybe not finding vore itself disgusting, but potentially the fanbase (a ton of the most celebrated content is for heterosexual males (HUEG MAN EATING TITS), too, so I could see some alienation going on).

I've actually had relatively decent luck though. I'm not really secretive about it, but I don't announce it all the time either. It's been all right. XD

YOU'RE A GIRL !?
(lol)

cool photos are cool.

GOOD GOD WHAT AN IMPORTANT, RELEVANT DEVELOPMENT

SUDDENLY PERSPECTIVES ON MY ENTIRE GALLERY CHANGE BECAUSE I LACK A PENIS!

this is important... why?

I'm glad I apparently come off as masculine on the internet, I guess! XD

I wish I had more/better ones. I'm a sucky photographer. XDXDXD Plus way too fixated on MOUTHS...

Really though this is awesome. Backstage/VIP stuff is the coolest ever.

Oh and I liked the theatre kid porn. I would've been amazed to be in the presence of "real" theatre technology for once.

It was amazing. It was doubly special since the staff working it were INCREDIBLE, knowledgeable, friendly and efficient. :)

It was SO SO SO COOL. we got to see their prop table. Like, that hit me in a special place in my artistic heart. it was like we got to see their deepest darkest secrets (and we basically did! They even let us peek in the wardrobe room from the hallway, though they were already finished in there by then).

I thought you said before you were that mythical creature on the internet called a woman. Still, seriously, people are so startled by this revelation? Like the second coming of Jesus or something? You have boobs, big deal. I watched you for the art and your friendly snarkiness.

All I have to say though is that those are some awesome (and sexy >.>) dragon props. Could almost feel the warm breathe off them and the softness of their gizzard. :3

I know right? I'm completely baffled at the reaction here. Like... it matters WHY?? It's not like they have to treat me completely differently now or something. :/

It's not like I'm the only girl on the planet who likes vore or anything either. XD

Friendly snarkiness? D'awww :)

They were GORGEOUS. And yeah, I was surprised how dang realistic those mouths were! Like that Gronckle has a lighting instrument and a prop hole in there, and it still looked like it would drool all over my camera. XD

Fffff I love that outfit. Dress so everyone knows you bought the VIP passes. XD

Who says "merch?" I prefer bling, or swag. :p

But to address any possible confusion, I would like to see pictures of the aforementioned merch.

Hahaha the dragonese calls...and CFs nerd circuits overload.

Don't have time to read everything now. My father suddenly decided that he's coming home from work early so I can help him pick up his motorcycle from the mechanic. >.> Those dragons do have an incredible amount of detail though. I'm sure the show was amazing, given it seems tailored to the books as well.

People loved it. :)

I SAY MERCH

I still need to take pictures. We only recently opened up the fiber-optic Night Furies... oh god, how delightfully spastic. XD

I wanted to hug the dude right then and there. Seriously.

It was like the movie, with the sort of intensely bipolar ultra juvenile/darkly introspective thing that the books have going on. Loved seeing a new take on everything. :)

What do you do with those? Fiber-optic Night Furies? >.>

-inconsolable fangirl mode activate-

To both those things, the dude, and the creative use of canon material.

WATCH THEM AND HAVE SEIZURES

YOU NEED TO THINK THAT ONE THROUGH SUM MOAR

Ha! Ultimate awesomesauce. Much better than my review, probably because it was a review and not a poorly written blow by blow. The fact that you had some blurry pictures makes me feel a little better :P

I wanted to read and reply earlier but crazy stuff happened and I had nooooooooo time. I'm just going to take things in order.

Ha! It's you! Damn good work on the costume. The fluffy boots and braiding just top it off. You look awesome!
Entertained the kids and hopefully inspired them to become huge nerds as well :)
The fiber optic thingy...does it spin? I'm pretty sure the ones in Melbourne span.
TOOTHLESS MUUUUUUGGGGG! We're mug buddies (wut? lol that sounds stupid) I brought mine back to Melbourne with me. He is sitting on my desk right now. So god damn cute.
Nice to see they slip some book references in there.
Demon Hiccup - http://a3.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hpho.....42438837_o.jpg
Did the Australian actors go to the US tour? If so they probably don't bring them out so as not to scare the Americans. :)
How good was the drawing scene with the projector screens.
Producer - "So, what can you do". Actor - "I can swing on ropes:. Producer - "Excellent, we are using that....more than once"
POWER OF INTERPRETIVE DANCE!
So did you actually get a Snotlout on the Death's face, cause ours I'm sure was severely cut back. He just kind of sat on his head for a little bit, then "fell off" which consisted of him flailing his arms while still sitting on the head.
OH GOD, THE TRAUMA FROM.....I'm kidding. You look awesome in those photos :)
It is insane just how big they are. I want one. Can I have one?
And the level of detail, right down to chips out of the Nadder's beak and how it's nostrils go inside it's skull rather than just being painted on.
The amount of effort that went into the eyes is another crazy thing.

I just can't get over how realistic Toothless is. I know he is a puppet and all, and he runs a little derpily and moves a bit slow, but when the flying Toothless rig broke down in Melbourne and they stopped the show, the Voodoo operators kept him running, and it was just mental. The eyes moved in the sockets realistically. The neck moved around and it scanned the audience. The mouth and noises were perfectly in sync to the point where sometimes the neck would flick a little as he made a sound. It was so lifelike it was creepy. Then he went stiff as a board and they lifted him off stage.


So, you got to see the show working properly, no Hiccups (or were there, ba dum tish). How much did I miss when it broke down :P

It may sound crazy but I still get little shivers when I remember the end of the Test Drive scene.

So glad you got to go, then again I am pretty sure nothing would have stopped you :)

Yeah, my pics were terrible. Mom's weren't much better. XDXDXD

I felt awesome... XD I literally was bantering with little kids in line about the dragons and stuff. XD

Ours don't spin, but they have like 7 different fiberoptastic settings. XD

I got one mug for each VIP ticket, so I've got a little set :3 YAY MUGBUDDIES.

I seriously wanted to hug the dude for acknowledging something as freaking obscure as Dragonese. I mean, yeah, it was a script, but OMG SO GREAT.

I know! RILEY WILL EAT YOUR BRAINS. But that's okay... omg I flipped when the Nightmare almost ate him. LIKE IT TOTALLY WENT FOR IT. XD Damn you Stoick. XD

I assume the other set of Hiccup and Astrid was around-- perhaps they just didn't bother to come out to the venue for that particular show or something. They made a point to announce which set we got before the show. I was actually surprised, since Riley is in literally almost none of the promotional photography. Even in the program, he's shown in-costume maybe twice. WTF. Even Gemma is shown more (but I think she kind of switches more often, cus there are tons of pics of her with Ramrian). I found an article about the show in a Chicago newspaper, and it DOESN'T EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE THAT GEMMA AND RILEY EXISTED. So I assume both pairs are touring. I have no idea how that setup works, though.

It was actually funny, because during this little "airplane radio gag" where the model Vikings are flying around on dragons, it sounded A LOT like they were playing the incorrect Hiccup voiceover. XDXDXD

Hiccup's "scheming" scenes with the projector were far and away my favorite use of the thing (except perhaps the flight scenes. AND the VORE SHADOW PUPPETS).

KEEP SWINGING ON ROPES! hahahaha. Well, I looked up Gemma and apparently she actually has over 100 martial arts titles IRL, as well as an interest in parkour so... that conversation may have actually happened. "OH HEY, YOU CAN PUT YOUR FOOT ABOVE YOUR HEAD AND BACKFLIP? THIS WILL BE YOUR SOLE MODE OF TRANSPORTATION THE ENTIRE SHOW! :D"

I believe now in the power of interpretive dance. That shit is brutal.

Yeah, our Snotlout on the Death's face was literally one of the coolest parts of the show. He had a good couple minutes of riding it mechanical-bull style. It was great. (ALSO MAN-EATING TAILS??? WTF NIGHTMARE FUEL)

I'M HORRIFYING. Apparently the fact that I am a girl creature is astounding. Like, mindblowingly astounding. LOL

They are soooo gorgeous. In one of the making-of videos, they actually have one of the eyes completely out of the socket, and it's pretty cool looking; they detailed it all the way around.

Yeah, I didn't get such a chance to get attached to Toothy. I mean, he was really really cool, but for some reason I liked all the other dragons just as well (and I honestly thought the flying Gronckles trumped everyone as far as life-likeness XD).

The flight scenes were pretty badass though. OMG. I wish my mom hadn't been trying to get me to take pictures through them (none of them turned out, obviously. XP)

NOPE XD

I like the kids that are hardcore fanboys. The ones that are apathetic are kinda annoying.

Did they have the derptastic stuffed Night Fury at the merch stands?

I'm pretty sure Ramien even speak in the show, or is he just in there to allow for quick scene changes?

I would have to agree with you on the scheming scenes/flight scenes/vore shadow puppets sentence.

The following will be in your contract. "At all times in public during the production, you must perform a backflip at least once every hour."

If you think you are horrifying then you clearly haven't seen the kind of people that frequent 24 hour kmarts at 3am. It's like they got ready for bed, then decided to go for a jaunt to the store for stationary and flannelette shirts. In all seriousness though, you look good! :)
omg ur like a gurl can u like eat me n do it naked n then do like sexy stuff and teach like me proper sentence structure and punctuation n shit?

Imagine having Toothless's eye on display in your living room. Pretty and slightly creepy all at the same time.

Yeah, our fanboy kid was hilarious. He was trying to school Astrid in Gronckles. LOL.

THEY DID. AND MY MOM BOUGHT ONE. IT IS HORRIFYING.

As far as I can tell, Ramenboy wasn't in the show at all, except for perhaps some Hiccup voiceovers with a mysterious Australian tinge to the accent. XD They didn't seem to need to pull switcheroos with Astrid, either.

the vore shadow puppets were such a pleasant surprise. IT BURPED UP HIS HELMET AND BALANCED IT ON HIS NOSE OMG. <3

More like 35 times an hour. Easily. XDXD

:O

NO

I WOULD LOVE THAT

The whole cast has probably had to read the books and watch the movies over and over again to be able to counteract kids like that :P

It's watching you....staring....gaping for some odd reason with it's strangely round head.............

It can't be any worse than Americans trying to do an Australian accent :)

Awww I didn't get any nose balancing after the burp. There are both upsides and downsides to seeing the very first showing (second showing....first showing.....eh semantics :P )


"I'm off to the store" FLIP FLIP FLIP FLIP FLIP FLIP FLIP FLIP FLIP FLIP FLIP FLIP FLIP FLIP FLIP FLIP FLIP FLIP FLIP FLIP FLIP FLIP FLIP FLIP FLIP FLIP FLIP FLIP

Actually, she just countered his book-based argument with a "THAT'S NOT LIKE THE GRONCKLES I'VE SEEN." It was funnyyyyyy

We're so in love with it though. Tons of commercials that embrace authentic Australian voiceovers. XD

Whuuuuuut!? I didn't get Hiccup saying he was sitting around in the forest doin' shrooms either (Astrid basically just beat him up instead of letting him talk).

I WAS baffled when Fishlegs said "If you're trying to get eaten, I'd go with the MONSTROUS NIGHTMARE." Since in the movie, he says Gronckle-- AND I'VE ALWAYS DESPERATELY WANTED TO HEAR HIS RATIONALE. But a Monstrous Nightmare seems to be a better choice. XD

First AND second showing XD. I was reading some reviews, and apparently they're still having issues with tech difficulties, though nothing nearly as bad as yours (still, these people were like WAHHHHH WE WALKED OUT HALFWAY BECAUSE BROKEN). Some people were pissed since they're not allowed to use the fire effects in some venues (Y THEY NO USE FIRE??).

"Gemma, quit flipping constantly!"

"I can't, it's part of my contract!" *backflips and parkours away*

I hear quite often that Aussies in the US get asked the question "Oh my gawd, are you Awwwstralian?" It's pretty funny how infatuated the US is with the AU accent.

Nooooooo no shrooms bit. But that was unintentionally hillarious. "Hiccup, what have you been doing!?" "...MUSHROOMS!"

Really? People walked out even though the show was still going. Nice for some...we didn't even make it in the arena for the first showing XD Surely watching an entire slightly broken show is more worth the money than walking out. Stoopids.
Fire? Who needs fire in a show about dragons? That breathe fire....

EW MAH GAWD

Accents in general really. When I went to England at middle-school age, a bunch of the girls forced our poor local guide guy to say all kinds of random stuff just to hear the accent. XD

I KNOW WHAT GIVES??? I was so excited for it. XD

Well, I can kind of understand if your kids are being aggravated. But seriously, you paid to see it. Might as well see what shards of it you can. XP

There weren't THAT many real fire effects though. XD

We do that with New Zealanders. Fush and chups is the usual one we give them. XP
