Nearly there now so naturally the preview broke. A very random Trollhunters festive photo op was discovered a few years ago...

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!

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.
