Annnd another tumblr post but this is Trollish Translations brought to you by hyper fixating on wondering what was said except in reverse in this case.

Today at the proper time we bring some Nomura sketches Scott Cooper did to feel out characters before he boarded on Trollhunters :) He did a few others too!

www.coopercomix.com/sketchs
Sketches by Scott Cooper before he started boarding on Tales of Arcadia: Trollhunters. It features Nomura stalking away with blades drawn, doing a high kick also with blades drawn, stalking towards the camera without them and half passed out on the floor. It's very possible these are related to Waka Chaka.

Gotta link to tumblr for today's storyboards but it's a good one! It was through Tristan Cottin originally found out about the House of Cool using older scripts for their workshops and this one contained a very interesting tidbit we had no idea about prior :)

Lack of scheduler makes things annoying, here's yesterdays.

One website that thankfully hasn't exploded is Simon Rogers' who worked on Trollhunters during the film era! This particularly piece which has Market Exploration in the file name

www.sim-r.com/trollhunters/
Visual development by Simon Rogers. It shows a small tailed troll sitting on a bunch of TVs, holding a phone while yelling at a TV screen with a (Presumed) actor's face. All around is an assortment of other TVs showing static or damaged. This image is in black and white.

Keeping things preserved can be a bit unusual sometimes. Here's an official Trollhunters guacamole recipe posted by Guillermo del Toro himself on twitter some years ago!
Screenshot of a tweet by Guillermo del Toro himself. It reads: TROLLHUNTERS Guacamole recipe: 1 Avocado, sliced 1.5 Mexican lime 1/4 to 1/2 white onion Sea Salt (two pinch) 2 tablespoons cilantro 5 ounces of milk Blend the avocado w the onion, salt and lime, add the cilantro and finally the milk (yeah, milk) use tostadas- not chips. Part 2 of the recipe is as follows: AND a Serrano pepper, chop it finely and add at will...

At this point it seems like Rémi Salmon’s site is dead dead and won’t be coming back so here’s another of his works! This one is undoubtedly the Hero’s Forge when it was still known as The Pit.

Sorry for the delay! Weird bluesky issue.
Visual development by Rémi Salmon. It shows what can be best described as a flat roman Colosseum like structure in how it's a solid wall but full of doorways/windows for an audience to view what's happening all the way down on the floor. There's a big rough painted column just cutting off the camera on the right. The lighting is a golden orange being at the brightest the higher it goes. There's also a very large door with spikes on the top of it sealed shut and a lone figure dwarfed by the sheer scale of the place.

Today from 3Below comes a pair of visual development paintings of Stuarts Electronics by John Bell! There's even a Krel for scale.
Marked as Version 1, this painting shows the outside of Stuarts Electronics with Krel scale on the right. On the left is Max Barber Shop which unsurprisingly is a barber shop. Stuart's has some funky blue and yellow tiling under the large windows, a long red canopy, the classic lightning bolt alongside the vertical oval for Stuarts with Electronics on a much smaller sign underneath. There's even a socking big satellite on the roof and a large aerial. Marked as version 2, this painting shows inside Stuarts. There is a mess of old electronics crammed onto the shelves on either side, a ladder to upstairs where even more stuff is and a sprinkling of fairy lights draped every which way coming. While there's two overhead lights the bulk of the light is behind the counter where Stuart would be and another Krel to the right of it for scale. Stuart really likes bright red pricing labels.

Going to have to link to tumblr again I'm afraid as it's an image and a gif today... which refuses to preview. In any case it's a delightful work from the Trollhunters episode, Mudslinging, by Johane Matte!

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!
