We'll be on festive stuff from tomorrow! Lack of scheduler and increasing health issue inventions is a bad combination. Something that used to knock me out a couple days with bad brain dog is now like a week. Do not recommend.

For fans of @realgdt.bsky.social’s TROLLHUNTERS…

I found an annoted copy of Henrik Ibsen’s PEER GYNT from when the writers room was breaking Jim’s arc, wrestling between duties of the human and troll world.

Some interesting bits we mined for inspiration, especially the final season! (1/3)

Ever wondered where Fragwa's name came from? Well his secret was revealed on twitter a ways back!

x.com/GoodAaron/st...
Screenshot of a tweet by Aaron Waltke. It reads: FUN #TROLLHUNTERS FACT: When the writers realized we needed a name for the head goblin, we debated for hours. Exhausted, someone pitched he should be French, because of his curly drawn-on mustache. What about French cuisine? This led to “foie gras”, which led to... Fragwa. There is also a gif of Fragwa though with being a screenshot it's a still.

One more day of Archie methinks. This visual development piece for Wizards is by Francisco Ruiz Velasco!

Visual development for Tales of Arcadia: Wizards by Francisco Ruiz Velasco. It shows two images of Archie, one sat down and one stood up in a very toony style. His soulmark looks more like a blue V.

Rounding up a terrible week with this bounty hunter Fury Galluzzi did for 3Below! Can't go wrong with a funky manta guy.

They are no longer on her website but you can find her other work here - furygalluzzi.com/production
Visual development for Tales of Arcadia: 3Below by Fury Galluzzi . This shows a robotic bounty hunter in red with flashes of gold and blue highlights. On the left marked with 20 appears to be the initial design which is a very leggy bot with wide shoulder plates, golden modules under them and long arms with red lines running down them with a welding mask like shape over the face stretching back in grey. They are wearing a cloak. In the middle is the same bounty hunter modified to give them a long golden mask and the funkiest manta ray like cloak of which the "points" end in two rounded triangle nodules with holes in them. This cloak creates a V shape under the neck and the try mark manta horns coming up either side of the mask. On the right is the back of the manta cloak with banded plating for the heck/neck segments and flashes of neon blue colour including a pattern on the central part draped over the back. The long leggies also appear to be covered by either layers or flared trousers in black and have more humanoid feet.

This week’s sequence is from 3Below though given it’s a cut one it’s hard to guess what episode it’s from, A Glorious End maybe? The 17A is likely the sequence number if it’s following the usual format.

Anyway this is by Dan Stone!

It might be near midnight on a Monday night but can we interest you in their headshot of King Arthur in his zombified state by Isaac Orloff?

www.isaacorloff.com/dreamworkswi...
Visual development for Tales of Arcadia: Wizards by Isaac Orloff. On the left shows a headshot angled slightly to the right of King Arthur complete with his grey zombie skin and glowing eyes. In the middle facing forward is a beard and hairless version of him. On the right is a skin texture callout, Angor's eyeball and teeth/tongue with the mention to reuse the teeth and tongue from Bellroc's model.

John Bell worked on the film version visual development of Trollhunters. This included this artwork of Claire's room, the third version of it according to the file name.

www.johnbell.studio/trollhunters...
Visual development for Tales of Arcadia: Trollhunters. It shows Claire standing with her eyes closed with a book and glass as height reference in a cushion filled bay window. It's a lot more green themed than her usual purple with lots of clutter from books to nick knacks and plushes draped on a shelf. She's clearly a music fan in this version as there's a couple of band posters plus a record player with records and all sorts of repurposed boxes for furniture in here.

House of Cool did storyboard work on the TV part ToA and trough them, multiple artists worked on the franchise though unfortunately they are not individually credited. These are from the Trollhunters episode, So I’m dating a sorceress.

Storyboard panel from the House of Cool website for the Tales of Arcadia: Trollhunters episode So I'm dating a sorceress. It shows Claire looking worriedly at Not!Enrique waving the shrunken Skathe-Hrün around.

Having some glorious Windows related problems today including explorer trying to crash when grabbing this file so that's nice. Have Deya in Daylight as we saw her in Wizards by Alison Donato!

alisondonato.format.com/wizards-toa
Vis dev from Tales of Arcadia: Wizards by Alison Donato. It shows Deya in Daylight from the front, side and back though the latter two are white and directly over her model for additional reference purposes. There are call outs for the shoulders, hands and foot using Kanjigar's model sheet showing essentially the same plate just fitting her build differently.
