    There are many differences between the two images. Plus, it was done on the Oekaki, so there was no tracing/copying done. That image may or may not have been a part of the references used, but I know for a fact that there was more than one references used for every dragon lineart. Please do not try to accuse the artist of copying.

Species; Deadly Nadder
Taming Entry; Dear Journal, oh my Gods today.. It was, astounding, to say the least. Well, first, when I went outside, there was a deadly nadder on my roof. My roof! Can you believe it? Wrath wasn't too thrilled, so I kept him inside. The nadder on my roof was so beautiful, I just couldn't ignore it! I had no idea how to get it down, though. I turned away, thinking. There had to be a way to get the nadder to come down, right? I threw fish up on the roof to get the nadders attention, but she ignored me. Several hours later, she was still ignoring me! I had no idea what to do. Suddenly, I heard a creak from the roof. When I looked at it, the nadder was staring right at me. I didn't like that glint in her eye, it looked.. mischievous. Before I could say or do anything, that nadder flung her spikes at me! I jumped sideways, falling right into the mud! Can you believe that, journal? I grabbed a handful of the mud while sitting up, and flung it right at the nadder. The sound she made when it hit her in the face was both funny, and cute. It was kinda like.. A mix between a squeal and a shriek. Anyway, as I sat there, proud of myself, the nadder hopped off the roof and walked towards me. She sat down right in front of me, and curled her tail to her body. As I watched her, I noticed she was watching me as well. I noticed she sat in the mud, I'm glad she isn't afraid to get dirty. She leaned forward to sniff me, and when she did, you know what I did journal? I took my hand, and I placed it on her nose. I rubbed her nose and then I scratched under her chin. I placed a kiss on her nose, too. She seemed really happy, because she flopped down in the mud, laying her head in my lap with her eyes closed. I guess she saw how much I liked her, because I petted her while she was resting her head in my lap, and she didn't care. As I watched her sleep, a name came to mind. So I said "Asta." It means Divine Beauty, you know, and boy.. She is sure is a divine beauty, journal. I said Asta again, but the only response I got from the sleepy, relaxing dragon was a gentle, quiet grumble. I guess she doesn't mind, journal.

Hey void. ;^; I'm the artist of these lines, so I thought I might pop in to clear things up a bit.

Before canis' commission, I had never drawn a HTTYD dragon. As a result, I went with static poses for many of the linearts. Both my lineart and the dragon in the image you provided are just standing poses with pretty much no action. The poses are somewhat similar, but the styles are not.
But to your credit, I used a lot of references for every dragon but still couldn't figure out all the anatomy for many of them. A number of images were referenced minorly for various small parts that I wasn't completely sure how to draw (like a leg or wing), but for the most part I tried to avoid referencing closely for more than a tiny part of the image. You will likely see a few more similarities pop up in other linearts, but hopefully nothing will look copied!
I would have credited every image I used for all 28 linearts, but there were hundred of references in total (6 to 10+ for each lineart). None of the linearts are copied, though, I assure you! :)
Sorry that was so long-winded *facepalm*
PM if you still have doubts, I don't bite!


And canis, hopefully it's okay that I posted this here. I just wanted something to link to in case something like this should ever happen again.
I swear I'm not a middle schooler.
For real.

Taming Entry;
It was a nice warm summers day, I decided to sail my ship to dragons island as I wanted to tame and study some dragons specimens. I only have my Gronckle, Carith who didn't seem to keen on going to dragons island as we were flying looking for new dragons all day and new plant life of course. I decided to leave her back home with lots of rocks to eat, hopefully I would be back before sun down. I had landed on the shore of dragons island and I climbed up the sharp rocky cliffs, it took me hours to reach the mainland but it was worth it or so I thought. I couldn't see or find any dragons at all, which was strange as this was one of the dragons home islands. I scouted for an hour looking for a dragons, no Monstrous Nightmare or Typhoomerangs, not even terrible terrors, the whole island seemed deserted. I gave up and sat down beneath a tree, the ground was cold when I touched it. I took out my notepad and started to draw some of the scenery. The forest seemed so serene and beautiful even with no dragons around. I put my notebook away and started to walk back to the shore since it was getting dark. The sun was setting in the horizon, vibrant colors lit the sky as I was nearing the edge of the forest. I was nearly finished climbing down the rocky edge suddenly I slipped and fell. I quickly regained my balance, unfortunately I had a cut across my leg. It was very painful but I still had to get down, I limped the rest of the way. It wasn't that far but I had started to feel dizzy when I reached the bottom. I had forgotten to bring some bandages so I couldn't patch up my wound. It was almost nightfall, long shadows were caste by the setting sun. I heard the beating of wings and a giant shadow was cast on the sandy shore. There was no way I can defend myself, not with an injured leg. The magnificent beast landed, it was a Deadly Nadder. It was a female, I do not know what her intentions were. I had three options, run to my ship, fight using the nearest object or tame it. I wouldn't make it if I had fought or run to my ship, the only option I had left was to tame her. She walked up to me and she looked at my leg inquisitively. She squawked and her spikes perked up. She had no idea if I was a threat or not, I reached out my hand but before I knew it she had retracted her spikes. I was lucky this time, there was no way I could dodge an attack. She squawked and chirped at me, I reached out my hand and If I was going to be honest, I thought she would've attacked me. She came up to me and allowed me to pat her. Unfortunately I had forgotten to anchor my ship so it wouldn't sail away. The only way back home was to ride my new Deadly Nadder who I decided to call her Ivana.

Taming Entry;
I wasn't as ready for a dragon as I had thought yesterday.

The morning was normal, wake up, get seasick over the side of the ship, try and eat, more vomit, ect. As soon as a island came into sight I nearly cried; it was small, but still land. The island couldn't dock our ship perfectly, so I had to join a ragtag team of four that tied long ropes to a couple of rocks nearby so our ship wouldn't float away. I managed to get away with hiding behind a rock and trying to warm up while the others worked. Mean, true, but I had been on that ship for long enough. I earned it.

After that things just went downhill. I managed to snag my own tent when we started our hike into the island, and while the others where gazing at the trees and fighting over the best camping spot I decided to sneak out. There was a steep hill, its ledge definitely hard to climb and extended directly up for about five meters. I fought my way threw rocks and a small flock of very angry birds to get my way to the top, wasting about half a hour and another that I spent in a fit of anger when I discovered a winding, easy trail. By the time I calmed down, the sun had set just enough that the golden rays of light spilled over the churning ocean.

My breath caught in my throat, eyes darting across the painting-worthy view. The ocean touched the sky and branched out for miles, leaving me to see a clear line only broken by the occasional sea dragon or two. The island itself was a green blurr below me, the voices of others barely reaching my ears and drifting into my mind. I stared out into the ocean from the mountain for about a hour just enjoying the sight before deciding to set up camp. I managed to not realize that the insanely loud, panting breath behind me was not my own.

When I did figure it out you could say I freaked out. My hands where halfway threw building the third knot, my back already to it and my eyes wide as plates. I had no weapons, a huge dragon a centimeter away from gorging my eyes out, my life started flashing before my eyes. I heard my heartbeat in my ears and the training I had gone threw my whole life left my mind the instant I needed it. The Deadly Nadder's eyes narrowed and for a moment I couldn't help but think of my old dog, Sofie. I stared into the purple orbs for a few moments, both of us at a impasse.

I stroked its nose spike on impulse, the creature puffing up as my hand grew close in a treating stance. By the time I realized what I had done, the dragon was upside down with a huge grin stretching across its face. Her tongue lolled out and spittle dripped onto my face. I was in shock, staring at the large spikes and jesus huge teeth.

I started shaking horribly, fear and the adrenalin that had been pumping threw my veins made no move to leave. My breathes were sort and shallow, the panting almost matching the giant dragon that was so close to me if it decided I wasn't good enough I was dead meat. I backed off a little, my feet tripping backwards as I hit the ledge and my body decided hey, let just have a nice little nap as you plummet to you death.

Next thing I knew I was nearly impaled by a hauntingly familiar dragon and a haunting unfamiliar cavern. I lunged backwards to avoid the dagger-like nose before darting away to the closest form of light. I barely registered the loud, lumbering sound of it hopping after me.

Outside it was dark. My tent was still put up halfway. I stared dumbly at the place I nearly had died before it hit that the somehow, that dragon saved me. I whipped around intending to run back in and try and patch up my rudeness only to come face to face with the giant black Nadder. We both stumbled back in surprise.

Unlike the other stories, dragons where not as easy to tame as here, have some fish or hey let me pet you really quick. No, I hit a stroke of luck with this one, but she certainly wasn't tame. After my third attempt of rebuilding my tent only to be destroyed, again, by the dragon, I begrudgingly trailed down the path. The dragon had saved my life, but I needed sleep and was going back. I, unobservant as ever, never noticed it following me to the camp site, waiting for morning, and boarding our ship along with us. (I deserve a star for number one lookout, nice job!)

Whoopdedo, Ahnika, you got about two hundred pounds following you back home and oh god its trying to eat Maltim.
