The Arcadian Archive

In a lot of pain right now so tumblr linking. This Christopher Zibach trollhunters film era artwork is technically now lost but thanks to past me reblogging it, it's still accessible!

A very tired from humidity and attempted system jank crosspost today, the mystery of blonde Zoe!

The Arcadian Archive So in a fun fact, Germany in their big Trollhunters other media binge actually made a bunch of audio books between 2019 and turns out more recently. There's these two starter boxes: Then the...

Naturally while posting this found they DID complete all of Trollhunters! Covers are kinda small though so will keep an eye out for larger. Anyway, German audio books for your day.

This will smack into the image cap... And is refusing to preview again because of course it is. Anyway, here's some bonus storyboard panels by Teny Issakhanian from Wizards!

Visual development for Tales of Arcadia: 3Below by Yingjue Chen. It shows four different designs of little girl scouts including one with orange braids that went ahead. Below is her updated design and turn around in a t-pose ready for model reference.

Starting the week off with concept art for the girl scouts in 3Below! Very understandably only one could go forward to modelling, recolours are cheaper than making a new one from scratch. Great to see how cute the whole little crew is! They're by Yingjue Chen.

Visual development for Tales of Arcadia: Trollhunters by Jessica Bulinski. It shows Claire from the front with a side view of her boots. On the right is her colour palette complete with texture swatches and in the top left is what is called a "character in final lighting shot". Specifically it shows a screenshot from the episode Adventures in Trollsitting where Claire is helping Jim with his homework.

Did you need a bit more reference for Claire? Jessica Bulinski has you covered! Including colour palette which is always helpful.

Headworld Rambles Trollish translations part 1  Another week means more translations! This was the second one cracked though @dreamcrow​ by having the subtitles was already making headway on what the words were while I...

We up for a little bit of Becoming? This is the revised for TV version from the Trollhunters episode, Becoming by Michael Yates!

Screenshot of a tweet by Aaron Waltke. It reads: FUN #TROLLHUNTERS FACT: It was a running joke in the writers room that Mary Wang’s never-seen crush from a rival school, Tight Jeans Hank, was secretly a powerful wizard — because no mortal could squeeze into pants that small without magical means. This has never been disproven. It also has a gif of Mary Wang specifically when she was telling Claire about her date and why she couldn't babysit Enrique.

The more you know! And also why sometimes see references to it in fanfic.

Francisco Ruiz Velasco has been quiet on ToA uploads since April then this proof of concept from the Wizards intro appeared on his linkedin page!

Let's have a bit of Frank Forte this week! This animatic is from the 3Below episode, Flying the Coop.

Visual development for Tales of Arcadia: Trollhunters by Rustam Hasanov. It shows Toby wearing a saucepan, ladles strapped to each hand and seemingly more typical armour over his chest. Something is protecting his feet though it's hard to make out what it is.

This one frequently blows about the internet uncreditted. This Toby concept was figuring out his armour via the medium of asset reuse by Rustam Hasanov!

Screenshot of a tweet by Guillermo del Toro. It reads: Thank you NYCC! Master Osamu Tezuka's Wonder 3 and Fujiko F. Fujio's Doraimon were, for me, the inspiration for 3Below. Well, that and Coneheads. There's a screenshot from the mentioned Osamu Tezuka's Wonder 3. It shows a duck with a helmet style hat, white rabbit with a black curl of hair, a horse with a very bendy neck, spot on the nose and pale muzzle plus a boy with very rounded black hair all staring out a window.

You really never know where the inspiration might come from and doubt many will have thought this for 3Below.

From the Tales of Arcadia official twitter, crafts! This ones really cute and shows how to make funky crystal ornaments. Less likely to ever vanish but yanno, never hurts to be safe.

This week's boards are from 3Below and are by Max Lawson from the episode, Moonlight run! Enjoy this rare Tronos sighting :)

The image limit can't foil me with links though will break previews I guess. Anybody for "Morgana's Throne Room" from Wizards before it was repurposed for the Arcane Order's use?

Visual development for Tales of Arcadia: wizards by Francisco Ruiz Velasco. It shows Zoe in her Hex Tech work outfit holding what could well be the Staff of Avalon hanging onto Douxie's shoulders who is in more biking leathers and helmet. They're on a glide shaped like a red plane with a WW2 style face on it. They're trying to evade a bluey green wyvern style dragon with fins and shark like treatment trying to eat them or even just rake it's talons. In the same coloured background is another one aiming straight for the floating Camelot. There's also a scattering of rocks everywhere.

Give scheduler.

Starting this week with a bit of visual development from Wizards by Francisco Ruiz Velasco! Can't beat a snazzy dragon or a rare Zoe shot can you?

Photograph showing the main point of the Trollhunters display by Daniel Ochoa Vanegas. The center piece shows the kids with weapons and Jim in Daylight standing before the Heartstone with Trollmarket scenery around them. On the left by a TV screen and crystals is AAARRRGGHH whereas on the right is Blinky with the same crystals and TV. There's also an ominous Blinky peering over the top left from the stairs.

This week is an amazing Trollhunters display by Daniel Ochoa Vanegas of Daniel Ochoa Diseñador Industrial possibly for a site in Colombia given where he's based!

Orthographic of Camelot Zoe from Tales of Arcadia: Wizards. It shows her with hood up, hood down from the front and sides, hood up from the front and back along with detail of the two pins holding the mask and short cape in place.

There's talk about Camelot Zoe going round again so here's her orthographic to go with the few seconds she's on screen during Witch Hunt! The artwork is by Andy Murray :)

Visual development from Tales of Arcadia: Trollhunters by Headless Studios. It features Purple Draal in his Bular era which all things considered not much changes from this point.

Bluesky search is breaking on me. Managed to double check and the Draal | Bular | Gunmar design path thread hadn't been crossposted yet so enjoy! Preview borked so image is from the thread.
