Guess I did manage to draw some Christmas art this year after all. Cooked it up in about an hour. Some deep thought went into this one. You're welcome.

Merry Christmas to those who celebrate and happy holidays to those who don't. Hope everyone has a nice day :)

Now for the 1 piece of gift art I did this month cause I needed a character to draw while I was studying a chibi style. Let's see what was left under the Krelsmas tree this year.

Merry Christmas, @the-gateway-to-madness

Cara fell victim to my desire to draw cute chibis. I simplified her 3Below outfit, so hope ya don't mind. I've wanted to draw some gift art of Cara as a thank you for all the Bernie art you've blessed me with, but I just haven't had the time or motivation to draw a lot. Perhaps next year we'll see some more Cara fanart ;D

I think I got mine for Bernie- well, sort of. I'm stuck between 2. Took me a while to find ones I really liked. Most of the time I imagine Bernie fighting is usually to some kind of heavy rock or phonk cause I'm cringe.

But anyway-

First is this banger.

It's loud, the drums feel impactful and the pacing suits Bernie's fast-paced fighting style. The overall feel of the song kinda gives a sense of determination and hope.

The second is this one.

It's more so for the latter half of the song. Again, the pacing feels right, like I could easily imagine Bernie fighting with this song in the background. The main thing that really makes the song stick out is its use of instruments, most notably the guitar and drums, which gives the song so much more impact. The instrumentals just suit Bernie so well.

Hope that didn't sound too stupid, and that I did this right lol

Here's some oldish Bernie art. I don't have anything super cool like that sick Cara pic.

Calling all Tales of Arcadia fans with ocs! I have a character development challenge.

The iconic piece that plays in Trollhunters s1 ep12, s2 ep13, and Rise of the Titans (resisting the urge to gag) is None Shall Live, by Two Steps from Hell, on the Battlecry album. (I think most of us already know that tbh lol)

Now imagine your oc lived through Trollhunters in Jim's place. The challenge is to listen thru the Battlecry album and tell me which piece would be playing instead of None Shall Live during intense Trollhunters scenes if it were your oc instead of Jim. Reblog with your selection and any reasons you might have, if you have them- and tag your friends with ToA ocs! :3

(I'll be doing the same for mine! And feel free to include any art of your ocs and ramble about them forever in the reblogs, I want to collect y'all like vintage coins.)

Not a single soul:

Slight Artist: Trollhunters x One Piece Egghead Collab?

I've recently drawn Bernie in Zoro's Egghead outfit for an art collab and really liked how it came out. Ever since I'd drawn that, the outfit has lived rent-free in my mind. The body suit + puffy jacket combo just hits so hard.

Listen, I just think Akiridions would look so sick if they started wearing jackets all the time-

Zoro's Egghead Outfit (inspiration):

Why is it so hard to find good quality, half/full body pics of his suit that isn't a figure or manga panel?! 😭😭

many hours. so many hours

@slightartist @xxbatsybeanxx @fandomchatfabi @chikinnuggestzes @kc-reads

it is 3:30 am

[slightartist]

lolol you're fine. Didn't come off as anything besides helpful :DD

Thanks so much for the tips! I appreciate it!

Practicing the DreamWorks art style is something I've been wanting to do for a while. I did like... 2 drawings of Bernie a year or two ago in a bootleg DreamWorks style and just never tried again.

I think I'm about to go through my art study arc so I might give DreamWorks another try to learn how they proportion their characters. Sometimes anime is too much work. Sometimes I just wanna draw cartoony.

@slightartist this one's got no bernie, my apologies for that, but as it's a sequel to the last piece it felt wrong not to include ye

[slightartist]

AHH THEY'RE SO CUTE

idk if I've ever mentioned it but, I love they way you draw faces in the Dreamworks style. You're so good at it, like Krel's face looks almost identical to his actual model-HOW DO YOU DO IT I WANT YOU SECRETS

Krel in a vest looks SO GOOD. I wish there were more formal attire Krel fanart. PLEASE TOA COMMUNITY! I NEED MORE OF THIS KIND OF KREL CONTENT!

@slightartist this one's got no bernie, my apologies for that, but as it's a sequel to the last piece it felt wrong not to include ye

SHE'D 100% DO THIS

Cara didn't meet the pizza quota that week, she had to do it to her lmaoo

She'll stand by the punch table, watching mischievously from afar like the lil gremlin child she is.

@slightartist I was thinking about Dynamics and Such and I remembered this one time I dragged a friend over to a cute boy at a dance and went "Hi dance with (friend)" and ditched her with him lol

[slightartist]

It just keeps getting better and better 😂

Bernie teasing Cara is so hilariously accurate! Now that she knows, she'll bring it up at every possible opportunity just to get a flustered reaction out of Cara.

@slightartist college has been murdering me so here's a lil slumber party

[slightartist]

I love that sm! 😂

Bernie's so surprised at the revelation she chokes on her mouthful of pizza.

Would love to see a part 2 but no pressure ofc. Just reading how it played out got a good chuckle out of me.

Prompt: Magic

The most responsible and valid use of magic, if you ask me. Douxie's really onto somethin here. I literally had the most boring interpretations on these prompts I'm so sorry 😭😭

This is the last prompt I'll be doing for Arcadiatober cause commissions came up and they chewed up my art time. Wasn't really planning to complete the full prompt list anyway, so it's all good. What matters is that I did some of them lol

[slightartist]

OMG CARA BRAIDING BERNIE'S HAIR I CAN'T-

It's.... It's so adorable!! 😭😭

Bernie munchin on pizza is so accurate. If she could, she'd eat nothin but pizza.

May college murder you a little less 🙏🙏

Prompt: Wizards

I realized after I was done that Morgana didn't translate well into my cutesy anime style. My friend told me she looks like the vocaloid, Meiko and now I can't unsee it. Thanks, Ritsu 😭😭

But have my silly lil Morgana drawing. I really like all the wizards from the series, Morgana is just my favourite. Character lore aside, her physical design is one of my absolute favourites of the entire series.

[slightartist]

Prompt: Extraterrestrials

Love these two. Must protecc. Will protecc.

Aja's hair isn't perfect, my bad. In my defense, I rarely draw her so have mercy on my sad, little soul. I know she's pretty popular in the franchise but she isn't a favourite of mine.

Fate made me a Krel stan 😔

Have the few old drawings of Aja I still have saved.

You're welcome, Aja fans. Enjoy my goofy lil Aja art from like 1-2 years ago.

[slightartist]

Prompt: Trollhunter

Man, I love the TOA franchise so much. It's been a while since I properly sat down and actually rewatched Trollhunters though. I rewatched some of 3Below but I've neglected the OG lol

Really happy with how these came out, they almost look like stickers.

Lower any and all expectations regarding my art for the Arcadiatober prompts. They're all probably going to be very basic fanart of characters related to the prompts rather than dedicated illustrations. I'm just joining it cause it forces me to draw, and it's for something I love.

My creative drive is lacking, but I'll do what I can. 🫡

[slightartist]

I fixed your ROTT soundtrack album cover. You're welcome Dreamworks.

BRO HOW DO YOU HAVE A SONG LITERALLY CALLED 'DJ KREL THEME' AND NOT INCLUDE HIM IN THE ART?!

I will never forgive whoever designed this

He just wants to be part of the team. Come on guys.

Let him in

[slightartist]

A fellow Trollhunters fan?

Maybe :)

[slightartist]

OMG JUST WHEN I THOUGHT THEY COULDN'T GET PRETTIER YOU SLAP US WITH THIS-

Bernie looks so pretty. I've never seen her this pretty. I didn't think she was capable of pretty. My eyes have been blessed 😭😭

I also love everyone else's outfit designs too! The colours and shapes of the dresses are so beautiful 🥹

Also, I saw your reply on the other post and just wanted to let ya know it's perfectly fine if you ever wanted to mess with Bernie's design in the future. I think it's fun to see what kind of design ideas others come up with. :D

I used a single base to try and save time... it did not save time. This took all day.

@slightartist @xxbatsybeanxx @chikinnuggestzes and another friend's oc who I felt bad for not including last time (her name's Kova :3)
