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.
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?

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.
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.

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.
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 guiltily towards the laptop while holding her bag while Not!Enrique is not impressed.
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.

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.
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!

Visual development for Tales of Arcadia: Trollhunters by Anthony Romero. It shows a front and back view of the crossbow complete with loaded arrow with crystal head. Curiously you can see additional arrows attached to the side for quick reload access. On the left is a screenshot of Strickler holding it and Jim from the same episode as reference.
Have you ever wanted a better look at that crossbow which had a notable appearance in Angor Management? Well now you can! It was modeled by Anthony Romero :)

Excited for Wizards to come out later this summer! We just finished our last recording session today (this is from our first last year). Wizards is such an amazing show and I’m honored to be part of it!
Photo John Fee posted of the Tales of Arcadia: Wizards showing a good chunk of the first page of "Douxie pushes the broom" score from the first episode.
We're having a Wednesday with some music this week, specifically this photo showing a bit of the score John Fee posted for Wizards!

Screenshot of the video thumbnail. It has the SYFY WIRE NYCC Live logo and specifically mentions coming up next is the 3Below panel. Because of the nature of the panel you can just listen to the audio.
Today we come with... A dropbox link? Saved from vanishing into the abyss when it was deleted from youtube, this SYFY Wire New York Comic Con panel 3below from 2018 can still be watched and/or downloaded! Just please be kind to my poor dropbox account.

Visual development for Tales of Arcadia: 3Below by Fury Galluzzi. On the left is a reference gnome in the classic red hair, white beard, blue jacket with a black belt n gold buckle plus boots. Next to it is a far grumpier looking elder gnome, hands on hips, with fluffy hair, a belt to her hat, brown shirt, red skirt and brown boots. She is shown from the side and back and there is a call out for the plaster texture as well.
Please give schedule, been hacking my lungs out most of the evening from breathing wrong. Please accept this gnome orthographic for 3Below by Fury Galluzzi that is no longer on her website!

This is a screenshot of Aaron Waltke from twitter. It reads as follows:
FUN #TROLLHUNTERS FACT: This moment, when an awestruck Claire reaches out for Jim’s glowing amulet, was inspired by an early lighting test created before the show began.
We loved the imagery so much, we wrote it into the show! #TalesofArcadia
This is the lighting test in question. It features Claire on the left putting a hand just below where the amulet is on Jim's chest looking at it with genuine curiosity. Jim is wearing Daylight except this is an older version of the final armour being a lot bulkier and with an existing shield arm. the sword looks very plain and more generic sword-like as well.
Apologises for the absence! Blame indesign. Anyways, have a tweet and an unexpected origin story of a well loved Jilaire moment!

There is very little details on this advertising display so we can thank Noelia on twitter for the translation. It was originally shown at a subway station in Buenos Aires, Argentina containing some completely unique posters and great themeing!

Screenshot of a discord preview of a tweet by A. C. Bradley. It reads:
The Shadow Staff was originally pitched by myself and Lila Scott. We wanted Claire to get a weapon that would be both bad-ass and in contrast to Jim's Daylight sword.
The original tweet by A. C. Bradley might be long gone but discord cache kept it long enough to screenshot! Fun little tidbit regarding the Shadow Staff for your bank holiday monday.
