you have references for concept art Douxie’s staff I hear?
We do! Not the orthographic version mind but we do have it's paint including the base colours which for reference is always a bonus. Can be easy to miss things with the shiny details and/or textures.

It's by Alison Donato. The linework this is painted on was drawn by Sam Drummond.

I'm rewatching Trollhunters in the background right now, and the disfunctional mother son relationship between Jim and his mom is making me crazy.
Like, he's taking care of the household and his mother for years as a teenager and before probably. She is sometimes giving half hearted comments about him not having to do so much, but very obviously she's not gonna make him stop do all the cooking and cleaning. Y'know. Both because they've been living like this for years, and because it's obviously also very comfortable to have someone do all the house work.
Then Strickler comes into the picture, and if we ignore the whole Troll and changeling side of the story, Barabara gets very offended cause Jim doesn't want her to meet him privately. Again, ignoring the whole magic and trolls stuff, STRICKLER IS JIMS TEACHER. If Jim hadn't figured out that Strickler was a changeling he probably wouldn't have a problem with it, but the fact that he does, no matter the reason, should be enough for Barbara to put a stop to the relationship. Her child is clearly uncomfortable with her seeing/dating that guy, for whatever reason, and even clearly vocalized it. But she doesn't care about, or rather, she tells Jim that she "wouldn't expect something like that" from him. Obviously not, cause she may see him like her child/teenager he is, BUT DOESN'T TREAT HIM LIKE ONE.
And then Jim, unknowingly to Barbara, becomes the Trollhunter, and his behavior changes. He's suddenly doing reckless stuff, sneaking out, getting bruises, landing in detention and even at the police station, barely avoiding a police report. What does she do? Asking him what's going on? If everything's alright at school? If he has any other problems? Maybe trying to lower his workload around the house, which again, he's doing most of that as a teenager and longer probably.
Nah. She doesn't do anything until he lands in the hospital. Except for again, dismissing him rather negatively at the one topic he's openly expressing any negative opinions about (Strickler). And after he lands in the hospital she now starts not asking questions, but demanding answers. Demanding answers from a teenager in a difficult situation who is also now acting much more like a teenager than he ever did before, from her point of view at least. Except she obviously doesn't know how to deal with a teenager, cause she has never had to raise or live with a teenager. She instead lived with a child pretending to be an adult for years, that was partly much more of an adult than she was, who did way to much work even before Jim became the Trollhunter. So she throws punishments at him and grounds him, but does he listen?
No. Cause why should he? Not only is he dealing with things much more important than being grounded, yknow, saving the world, he's trying to protect her from the sheer knowledge of the supernatural and physically protecting her from getting harmed. And again, for the majority of the time since his dad left he pretended to be an adult. He was and is the main adult in the household, dealing with important things she doesn't even know about.
The only one's treating Jim like a teenager are teachers, other children and Blinky and Aaargh sort of when they're not in the middle of Troll business. Strickler, in the first episodes where Jim doesn't know about his true identity, is much more of a parental figure to Jim (also after his redemption later on tbh) than his mother.
In summary: Barbara is treating her son like an adult, almost like a partner, instead of a child/teenager. And when that isn't possible anymore she doesn't know how to properly treat him. She also doesn't really care that her son is uncomfortable with her being around Strickler, or Strickler in general. And it takes Blinky telling her (when Jim is 16) that Jim might be affected by his father leaving when he was five years old.
Jim meanwhile is treating his mother more like a child/teenager instead of the adult and MOTHER that she is. Seeing her as his responsibility. Cooking for her. Cleaning for her. Telling her to rest and take breaks.
They obviously love each other other. And their relationship might not be toxic, but it's very much disfunctional. In a way that is mostly negative for Jim.

Fucks me up that at least according to the information we are directly told within the shows, these two characters are the same age.
(Although y’know there definitely are parallels within that one episode)

i’m such a whore for jaw-dropping, heavily stylized, thematically laden, full of heart animation. will forever be impressed at the stories that are coming from non-disney studios having their moment to shine.

Do you ever watch a show or a movie or any piece of media meant for kids and just think about how the story or character or that one scene or whatever just spoke to your heart and soul, or just how profound it made you happy or break your heart. And just sit their thinking that this is for literal children, who probably still couldn't 100% understand the gravity of what they are consuming or probably couldn't articulate how they felt about it other than say they liked it or they dont, or it made them happy or sad, and you, a grown ass person is just thinking about how this thing meant for kids is just so simple yet complex with so many layers of emotions and plot and etc. That explores themes and subject better than media meant for your age, in a way that is simple yet incredible done.

If I got a nickel every time a cartoon I love
Tumblr media
based on a book
Tumblr media
based on mythology
Tumblr media
about a teenage boy
Tumblr media
who stumbles upon an ancient artifact that gives him powers
Tumblr media
that's being sought by this cocky guy with daddy issues
Tumblr media
who's right arm is mechanical some of the time
Tumblr media
and his Dad is this massive guy with big horns (and sometimes glowy blue eye(s))
Tumblr media
who's being manipulated by a powerful woman
Tumblr media
that he freed from her centuries old prison
Tumblr media
who may have had noble ambitions in the past, but now has been consumed by power
Tumblr media
and the woman possesses a young girl in order to get what she wants
Tumblr media
and sacrifices the lives of her minions in order to unleash her ultimate weapon ->
(Dozens of Gum Gums) (Spider Queen, Huntsman, Syntax, Goliath, Not- Mayor) You know what I'm talking about :(
and she's got this indentured servant *cough Slave cough* (with pretty gold eyes 😘)
Tumblr media
who she refers to as "Her Champion"
who travels using shadows (I could not find a single picture of Angor Rot using his shadow staff)
Tumblr media
who was really sweet and kind in his past but then... well... stuff happened
Tumblr media
and has lost his right eye
Tumblr media
and he's been killed before
Tumblr media
but the big bad restores him back to life so she can use him
Tumblr media
and he gets a redemption arc at the end of season three
Tumblr media
and the main character doesn't have a bio Dad, but he attracts plenty of father figures throughout the course of the show
Tumblr media
and he gains a non-human form that makes him even more powerful
Tumblr media
and him and the others gain an armor upgrade at the same time
Tumblr media
and the girl of the team has short black hair with dyed stripes
Tumblr media
and you know the guy with daddy issues who wanted to steal his artifact in the beginning? He becomes one of the protagonist's closest friends
Tumblr media
and there's this gentle giant character
Tumblr media
who becomes one of my most beloved characters of all time 💕💕💕
Tumblr media
and he has a history of violence and trauma
Tumblr media
and has now vowed to be a devote pacifist
Tumblr media
but breaks his vow in order to protect the people he loves (with angry glowy eyes to boot)
Tumblr media
and has a deep love for cats (yes, I did just do that)
Tumblr media
...then I would have two nickels.
Which isn't very much, but it's weird that it happened twice, right?
(That last drawing was made by @jezfez81. Thank you for letting me use it!)
What the heck happened?!?! This was just supposed to be a comparison between Sandy and AAARRRGGHH!!! Where did all these comparisons come from?!?!?!?!?! WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED?!?!?!?!?!?
(this took way too long to make, please give it some love :3 )

First thing, just wanted to say this blog is great and all the work you do for it is amazing!
I came here to ask if there’s any concept art for Douxie’s clothes? Specifically the Camelot look, it’s been a bit hard for me to find any good references for the cosplay I’m making, hope you have a great day/night btw!
There is two actually! Two versions of his concept art appearance and his the orthographic which has his front paint included.
Apologises for the teeniness of this, it's a screengrab from the Art of Wizards video. I think there is a larger version of this blowing about somewhere that was screenshot when it was live though not got it to hand.
Tumblr media
Then this one is the finalised concept art! Both are by Betsy Bauer.
Tumblr media
Tumblr is absolutely going to eat this so do pop it out into a tab, reference wise I prefer the landscape version. This is a full orthographic turnaround thanks to Andy Murray.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It's also thanks to him we have any artwork of Camelot!Zoe too... Got the concept art for his stick too should you ever need it.
Hope these help!
