[thosetrollkids]

oh em gee you guys!!! happy SEVEN YEAR ANNIVERSARY of the monster kids au's creation!!

to celebrate this momentous milestone, i spent the last month or so planning out references for the main trio, pulling new ideas as well as a lot of old concepts that i snipped and grabbed pieces from.

my plans for the following year are to really delve into the story and overall plot of the au- something that was always changing and hard to pin down, because it wasn't quite fully formed yet. well, better now than never, ajdnwjdjwjbd :3

“I don’t want you to think any different of me.”

“Nothing you say right now will change how I see you.”

Royalty AU where Prince Jim and Princess Claire are from neighbouring kingdoms.

No one knows Claire possesses shadow magic. No one besides her parents and a certain sorceress they found to keep Claire’s powers in line.

Jim isn’t able to come to terms with the fact he will have to take over as king someday. He doesn’t think he’s cut out for it.

They find each other, what could possibly go wrong?

(I imagine this piece would slot kind of farther into them knowing each other. At a point in their developing relationship where it’s becoming harder on Claire keeping this secret from Jim.)

#guys apparently an entire au can come out of having a style crisis #I have a lot more with this au I would love to talk about #trollhunters #tales of arcadia #trollhunters fanart #toa fanart #trollhunters au #tales of arcadia au #jim lake jr #james lake jr #claire nuñez #jlaire #my art

[Image ID: two versions of a digital painting of Blaze the Cat. They are based on a Trollhunters screenshot, but replacing Jim with an AU Blaze design.

Blaze wears armor similar to Percival's in Sonic and the Black Knight: small, rounded shoulder pauldrons, metal gloves with flared cuffs, and a metal chest plate on her torso with armor pieces hanging from the hips, resembling a tailcoat. Inset in the chest plate, above where her heart would be, is a gold amulet housing a shard of a red gem.

Along with the armor, Blaze wears her usual gold necklace and red bindi. Each gauntlet has a simple curling design on the top, with a red jewel inset in the center, matching her bindi. Under the armor she wears a white bodysuit, covering her legs and arms.

In the first version, Blaze is in her normal form, with lavender fur and yellow eyes. Her hair is not tied up but falling loose down her back, and violet bangs partly cover her bindi. Her armor is a silver-purple color.

In the second version, Blaze is in her Burning form. Her fur is pink, and her armor and blade are both gold rather than silver. A gold circlet pulls her hair back - not that it's needed, as both her hair and the tip of her tail have turned to scarlet flame. Her eyes, too, have the appearance of fire.

In both versions, Blaze stands against a stormy background, looming over the viewer. In her right hand she holds a flame. In her left, she holds her sword from Sonic and the Black Knight, pointed down at someone unseen. Lightning flashes behind her as she looks down at her opponent with an unreadable expression, eyes glowing gold. /end ID]

For the glory of Solaris, Sunlight is mine to command.

last Friday I had this all prepped and ready to post, wrote a whole long explanation of this AU's lore, and then the page reloaded and I lost the entire thing--or I thought I did, only for it to turn out the draft just saved to my main instead of here. so. see below for the referenced screenshot, an explanation of the AU, and some concept sketches.

[Image ID: a screenshot from the computer animated Trollhunters series. In the screenshot Jim, wearing his Trollhunter armor, stands against a stormy sky. He points his sword down towards something offscreen, his expression unreadable. Lightning flashes behind him. /end ID]

So a while back I got really into Tales of Arcadia with my brothers. it was brief, as my interests go, but during that time I, as is my wont, came up with a needlessly complicated Sonic AU starring Blaze the Cat. Because I never go about things halfway, I not only watched Trollhunters, 3Below, and Wizards, but I also went and read the original Trollhunters novel and some of the comics (and I would have read all the other novels too if they'd been available in our library and my interest had lasted longer).

Hence! The Sunhunter AU! It was originally called Shadowhunters, but I have too many AUs with "shadow" in the title anyway, and Sunhunter is more fitting anyway. Basic premise is that Blaze is the eponymous Sunhunter, and has been since she was a child, when she discovered the existence of the underworld and accidentally bonded with the amulet in a definitely-not-traumatic, totally-not-a-Disney-parent-death incident. Essentially, she fuses the roles of Jim from the show and Jack from the novel.

Blaze takes her duty extremely seriously and invests the bare minimum of time in her civilian identity. Who needs a childhood when there's an entire world to singlehandedly defend, amirite? Certainly not when the Black Arms are dangerously close to escaping and dooming the surface and the underworld both. But protagonists never get what they want.

With everything on her shoulders, it was only a matter of time until Blaze stumbled - and Marine was there to see it. Now she has to protect/put up with this young raccoon girl who refuses to leave her alone. This definitely will not lead to any burgeoning friendships, the development of a much needed support system, or discoveries about her enemies that she never would have made alone. No sir.

also it's Sonaze. because of course it is.

now for the concept sketches

that's right, we do speedpaints now! I mean, Procreate's always saved time lapses of my art, but now I'm actually going to try and share them! maybe! sometimes!

As you can see, I have a few different ideas for the exact mechanics of this AU. The first route would be to have humans still be, well, humans, and Mobians are either the equivalent of trolls, or a type of troll. This could be fun, but I doubt I'll go this route, since I like my silly little cartoon animals to stay silly little cartoon animals.

The other option is to have mobians living alongside humans, as in Sonic canon. From there I could either keep trolls the same as they are in Trollhunters canon, or replace them/supplement them with a Mobian equivalent. I do have the beginnings of some lore ideas for Mobians being split between the surface and the underground...

Tales of Arcadia and Spiderverse

As a fan of tales of Arcadia AND Across the Spiderverse…….my head is filled with thoughts of Douxie, Claire, Krel, Hobie and Gwen being in a band together. Like my heart cannot I’m convulsing and disintegrating at the thought of them all being friends and playing together. THEY WOULD CREATE AMAZING MUSIC I WOULD DEF BE A FAN!! And imagine being their crush or significant other. LIKE THE SONGS THEY WOULD WRITE ABOUT YOU. As a person that’s in love with all these people I am dying and sobbing. That’s it. That’s all I have to say

Soooo I've been rotating a HTTYD ToA AU in my brain for the last few years. Not much plot stuff, mainly the GoA just hanging out and instigating shenanigans as we should've gotten to see more of and maybe fighting some evil stuff, only they have dragons and it takes place in the same time period as HTTYD. Similar dynamic to the dragon riders.

Anyway! I've been wanting to redraw this concept for a while (drew Jim and Claire and their dragons ages ago and they're absolutely atrocious), I think it would be a good way to make myself draw some of the other characters I love but don't draw as much, soooo... any dragon suggestions? So far I've locked in:

Jim - Light Fury (cause blue and idk I just think it works)

Claire - Razorwhip (the Shadow Staff always reminded me of one lol, also there are canonically ones with purple eyes)

Toby - Gronkle (cause Rocks)

Aja - Deadly Nadder (fun-loving and energetic but also badass and dangerous)

Douxie maaaay have a Skrill but idk. So yeah if anyone in both fandoms has any suggestions then let me know!

#btw this might not be for a while #like a long while #i can't guarantee i'd get through every character before losing interest/motivation #and also they'd probably be kind of chibi and simplified so i don't burn myself out #i just really like the idea of the kids having dragon besties #and also they're two of my favourite fandoms and mean a lot to me ^^' #toa #tales of arcadia #toa wizards #trollhunters #3below #httyd #how to train your dragon #httyd au #toa au #tales of arcadia au #gaylight post

"It's you.... Despite everything, it's still you..."

What if? Illy had to inherit Nari's magic and role as the Guardian of the Eternal Forest after her death in the events of RoTT-

I'm currently working on a TOA AU which is basically:

Trollhunters but make it Danny Phantom

Basically the same but when Jim calls on daylight he transforms into his half-troll form. Plus the people in Arcadia know about the existence of trolls in this AU. I'll post more about this later.

#TOA #trollhunters #trollhunters AU #methinks #tales of arcadia #tales of arcadia AU #TH but make it DP AU #I think Ill tag it like that now

[escape-from-arcadia]

Back from the dead with an AU idea I couldn't get rid of and am now writing:

Claire - stressed out by the pressures from her family, classmates, teachers, and generally life - runs away to form a band with Darci and Mary. They drive in a truck they find in a junkyard, playing shows as they travel, and making their way to the east coast where they hope to perform in NYC Seattle Metro City.

Claire on synthesizer/guitar, Mary on bass guitar, and Darci on drums. It's punk, it's rock, and it's also poly and it's also very gay.

Aaaaaannnnnd its posted! Here is Lester and Meg from my toa squared AU for promptober prompt: Crossover!

Speedpaint

Reblogs much appreciated

ID under cut!

[ID:

A collection of digital drawings of Meg and Lester from Trials of Apollo. In the upper left hand corner of the image Lester is wearing golden armor with black chainmail visible at the joints, he is holding a golden or yellow sword in front of his face such that the edge of the blade is facing the viewer. There are smoke wisps or flames of yellow and green coming from the blade and covering his face. The armor has a shoulder guard on his right shoulder and just below it is a green and yellow circular amulet built into the armor. In the upper right hand side Meg is standing in her usual green dress, yellow leggings and red shoes astride a red bike. She is facing sideways to look at what may be a pile of rocks on the ground by some trees. The lower half of the image contains Meg and Lester, except Meg is drawn as a green troll. This is done in the style of trollhunters trolls and her arms and legs fade into yellow on the extremities. She is wearing a red dress, and has four eyes, two right next to each other on each side. She is holding out her golden swords with one pointed upwards and one pointed down. Lester is facing to the right side of the image so he appears almost back to back with the troll Meg. He is in a slightly different version of the armor, most notable the shoulder piece is gone, and has a bow drawn. The bow is golden and glowing, and the arrow is yellow with green fletching.

[googlyowo]

hi hi hi i drew these a little bit ago but i was inspired by the conversation i had with @stuck-in-arcadia about a toa greek mythology au so i drew out some ideas!

i decided it would be fun to use alternative names for some of the more well known gds, esp since they suggested douxie be a son of kronos and i thought it would be fun if he was hades without actually calling him hades lol.

i may draw some more of my ideas, but these are just concepts and not set in stone for anything ✨
