Insert rant about the scheulder on bluesky still not existing here.

Anyway Krel fans, come get some Rise of the Titans fair for you day! This particular piece is by Aaron Loftis and wouldn't be surprised if the passport photo is drawn over one of Headless Studios given the style of it.

This might be one of those occasions where something Rise of the Titans related will be of interest to OG Trollhunters fans as well, Toby's armour! This was updated and unlike the first time round the model and texture reference is online thanks to Aaron Loftis.

The white is understandably where the chain mail texture would be so the model artist can focus on the little platey bits. Can enjoy eerie white Toby model too though, if you like.

This week's storyboard sequence is not from an episode but from Rise of the Titans! Specifically the flying to and breaking into the HK Trollmarket by Tom Sales because his expressions are always wonderful.

Look at this preview how can you not love it?

As a fun bonus this is in the sequence:

Whiiiich we happen to have the colour key for by Aaron Loftis!

It's no longer on his website but I have it anyway. Enjoy :)

Butcher Troll-Dragon Design Path

While they are only in the film for what basically amounts to a few second cameo the troll-dragons went through the same design process as any other design. By luck the Butch Troll-Dragon is one of few that can be followed from the concept to the final.

First up is this lineup by Yingjue Chen of our five funky guys and girls. With the exception of the middle all of these made it into the film for certain unless they're hiding somewhere. The second lady was designed to bounce off Nomura's model (Thus cut development time) though she lacks this tail. That isn't too surprising given tails and cloaks/similar fabrics apart from being a clipping nightmare add to overall costs.

That is also what fanart/fanfic is for.

They pop up a second time on this orthographic by Sean Wang also known as Tanginova where both he and the turtle had a few adjustments. The butcher knife was taken from the middle troll and given to him along with gaining a change of wrist adornments and removal of the swirly arm things.

There is two versions of this artwork (This being the second) though neither being on her website at present. The above was taken when it was still available. You can find where either version might show up again here.

Now for his own orthographic!

These two are by Aaron Loftis and because there's two we can see just how much detail went into this guy including a mini height comparison! He sure loves to be fashionable.

This final work is by Andy Murray for his paint/texture and further snazzifiying. The mouth colouration is a frequent pop up on trolls and is suspected to be AAARRRGGHH's reused.

His back is to the camera but he can be seen doing some butchering in the half second or so he appears. Enjoy!
