Screenshot of a tweet by Guillermo del Toro himself. It reads:

Keeping things preserved can be a bit unusual sometimes. Here's an official Trollhunters guacamole recipe posted by Guillermo del Toro himself on twitter some years ago!

Visual development by RΓ©mi Salmon. It shows what can be best described as a flat roman Colosseum like structure in how it's a solid wall but full of doorways/windows for an audience to view what's happening all the way down on the floor. There's a big rough painted column just cutting off the camera on the right. The lighting is a golden orange being at the brightest the higher it goes. There's also a very large door with spikes on the top of it sealed shut and a lone figure dwarfed by the sheer scale of the place.

At this point it seems like RΓ©mi Salmon’s site is dead dead and won’t be coming back so here’s another of his works! This one is undoubtedly the Hero’s Forge when it was still known as The Pit.

Sorry for the delay! Weird bluesky issue.

Marked as Version 1, this painting shows the outside of Stuarts Electronics with Krel scale on the right. On the left is Max Barber Shop which unsurprisingly is a barber shop. Stuart's has some funky blue and yellow tiling under the large windows, a long red canopy, the classic lightning bolt alongside the vertical oval for Stuarts with Electronics on a much smaller sign underneath. There's even a socking big satellite on the roof and a large aerial.

Marked as version 2, this painting shows inside Stuarts. There is a mess of old electronics crammed onto the shelves on either side, a ladder to upstairs where even more stuff is and a sprinkling of fairy lights draped every which way coming. While there's two overhead lights the bulk of the light is behind the counter where Stuart would be and another Krel to the right of it for scale. Stuart really likes bright red pricing labels.

Today from 3Below comes a pair of visual development paintings of Stuarts Electronics by John Bell! There's even a Krel for scale.

Going to have to link to tumblr again I'm afraid as it's an image and a gif today... which refuses to preview. In any case it's a delightful work from the Trollhunters episode, Mudslinging, by Johane Matte!

An official image from the Tales of Arcadia twitter account. It shows toby in a festive jumper holding up a sign with Happy Holidays on it. There's even some christmas lights.

The Arcadian Archive For your fanart and fanfic needs so close to the season, did you know they were actually thinking about a Christmas adjacent episode? Tweet 1 is here and tweet 2 is here

Do you know the meaning of Glorpshmak? It'd a Christmas themed episode that didn't come to be but you can be fanartists and fanfic writers can run off with it!

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)

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 β€œfoie gras”, which led to... Fragwa.

There is also a gif of Fragwa though with being a screenshot it's a still.
