The Three Tomes | Ending Credits " Glossary"

For the shoujo girlies out there did you catch the homage? The ending credits was inspired by the ending credits to Classic Isekei Shoujo anime " Fushigi Yuugi"

Dana was our board artist for the scene with Alonzo, Darius and Lord chaos in the cave and the first chunk of the training scene. He did such a good job y'all. @jayrayart.bsky.social and @misswashingt0n.bsky.social did the clean up and some revs :)

Tammy from @thethreetomes.bsky.social I hope I get to board a scene one day where Tammy feels like she’s got it figured out. ✨✨

Sia. Tammy's best friend.
The Three Tomes: Sia Choudhury ( They/Them) Age: 17 Sia Choudhury is intelligent, assertive and marches to the beat of their own drum. A chill persona with an adventurous soul. Sia is always on the lookout for the grander things in life. Forest exploring, ghost hunting, moving making, Sia wants to do it all. They pull their best friend Tammy into all kinds of adventure despite her aversion to it. It’s all in good fun though. Sia pushes Tammy to be her best self in their own way. They’ve been best friends since freshman year and are inseparable. However, Sia doesn’t want to be in this town forever. There’s a bigger world to explore. With the pressure of college looming and the dread of knowing they’ll one day soon have to leave, Sia’s over the moon at the chance that their best friend is caught up in magical mayhem. Maybe now they can have some more fun before having to deal with the real world.

Shirley, the witch guiding the way
The Three Tomes: Shirley ( She/Her) Age 16 Shirley is wise, curious, overly friendly and always an optimist in the wake of doubt. She’s fascinated by the unknown and craves knowledge of the world around her. The human world in particular is of interest and she loves studying their world through pop culture... even if it’s a little out dated at times. (she’s not aware of that...) She’s not fond of being treated like a child. Shirley puts on an air of authority around others to prove herself but she’s genuinely just figuring things out as she goes. The youngest of the Tome Keeper Witches, Well... technically she’s still in training.... Shirley was given the simple assignment of guarding the Tome of Terra. However, on a trip to the human realm she lost it. She hopes she can train the human that unintentionally bonded to the Tome and put the 13 spirits back in the book before... 1) the balance of the Earth realm is thrown off... 2) The Tome Keeper Witches find out... 3) The 2 vampires attacking them take it for themselves.

Second, Trey Buongiorno is teaching a level 3 advanced storyboarding class! I worked with Trey on The Bad Guys 2 and had the pleasure of animating some of his boards on Moon Girl, and he's got such a strong sense of clear, efficient storytelling you're bound to learn a lot from him!

The Three Tomes is a YA Supernatural story. Mix Twilight, Cardcaptor Sakura and 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo! you'd get The Three Tomes. A Very self indulgent story that the 14 year old vampire lover in me would have wanted to see.
