#Dofus series

[silveyn]

...I'm so tired

Ankama can't just go and not add the Iops and their history to the year of Osamodas(yes, that Iop from the trailer Bistale and Savara are relatives, Karn is her adoptive father and they are participating in a roguelike tournament).

And i also understood what Yrehn doing on Savara's game concept...

Oh, we have a web series about Sram, right? Let's add Goultard.

We have so many underdeveloped classes characters without their own aesthetics, maybe we should finally give them some screen time?

What am I even doing here…

Ankama has long since stopped moving in the direction of developing anything other than the time-tested. As much as I love Mouche and Biste- Tot himself admitted that this is a reference to Eva and Tristepin.

HEY- UHM----

[cocogum]

I hope that when Tot says that the Great Wave will be gruesome, he better mean that it'll be just as bloody and dark as the Ogrest manga.

Wakfu art dump because yes

This post is gonna be super long because I will ramble IN DEPTH today

So huh if you like my rambling or my art just read ig, otherwise scroll away idk what to tell ya

Showing some of my art and ramble because wakfu is part of my current big 3 hyperfixations ( along with WH and Trolls )

So huh enjoy my growing insanity ( I compiled it in one post to not annoy people too much :')

Presenting my oc Sharm !

An (very pink) Eliotrope

She's based on my in game character but I kinda gave her lore and a story so

⭐INFODUMP about Wakfu in general ! ⭐

Basic infos for those who don't know anything about Wakfu :

Wakfu is a french animated serie made by the studio Ankama, who also made several mmorpg games ( and way more, like the amount of content and lore is crazy)

Most of the stories will take place on the World of Twelves, populated by 12 main races (with many variation)

And there is a 13th "main race", the Eliatropes, which is the race of the main character of the anime, Yugo

Eliotropes ( with a o instead of a) are a subrace of the Eliatropes ( lore is explained in the serie but I don't wanna spoil, so to boil it down, Eliotropes are unstable pale copies of eliatropes) [ they are playable in the game wakfu]

So, what about Sharm ? Well she was born a pretty regular Eliotrope. She had two "brothers", Chance and Vitali, who unfortunately ended up fading away with time ( mechanically, when an Eliotrope die, his/her essence will go to the nearest Eliotrope to allow them to live longer)

So Sharm was left alone for very long, and stayed in Eliatropes ruins she found. Those were overgrown by stasis ( type of crystals, very bad, generally associated with corruption and destruction)

However, the essence she got from her siblings passing could only last so long

One day, in a desperate attempt to not die, Sharm took stasis and...ate it. Chewed on the mf crystals, and surprisingly, an interesting reaction occured : it stabilised her essence. It also made her basically frozen in development, Sharm cannot grow anymore and her power levels are quite limited in quantity, unless she uses stasis.

So my girl went through the ages, she kept on researching on the remnant of the eliatrope race ( wiped out aside from a few) and became sort of an archeologist

Nowadays, Sharm travels from a country/city to an other, often with mercenaries she hires as bodyguards . The other two ocs in this sketch page are the said mercenaries

And the cat is called Noiraude !

Sharm needs protection because she is stupidly useless in combat

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

And also I have fanarts of Nora !

And also, it's time for the gremlin mode

The worst of the ramble

I kinda just need to scream for a moment

Beware, big spoilers for the serie ahead ! Stop now and go watch Wakfu !! It's all on Netflix ( season 1, season 2, then the 3 oav, THEN season 3 and you will be ready for season 4 :D)

So, this character is Nora (second drawing is a headcanon version of her)

Who is Nora ? She is the sixth eliatrope of the Council ( Eliatropes are rules by the six first borns of the race who can reincarnate along with their dragon twin)

Nora appeared for the first time in a flashback the episode "Quilbi" in season 2

In 2011

And back then she was in a flashback, so presumed dead from the war that wiped out the Eliatropes

BUT

Lately, as clips and trailers of season 4 of Wakfu has been released

It's confirmed that Nora is there

She's alive

She's in season 4

*grabs u*

2011

She has been my favorite character of Wakfu since her one and only appearance, alright ?

And now

12-13 years later

She is real

SHE IS REAL AND ALIVE IN THE SERIE

*maniacal laughter*

I will not shut up about it

Prepare for the fanarts

*retreats to the shadows*

A Série Para Os (Dro)Nerds

Sᴇ́ʀɪᴇ ᴅᴏ Mᴇ̂s: Droners.

Sɪɴᴏᴘsᴇ Oғɪᴄɪᴀʟ: Em Terraqua, um mundo coberto por 95% de água, o génio da eco-tecnologia Wyatt Whale organizou a Whale Cup, competição de corrida de drones que acontece em todas as partes da região, para escolher quem será o seu futuro aprendiz. Cada corrida acontece num local diferente e ser o melhor piloto nem sempre significa que se tem as melhores chances de vencer ... As equipas precisam de analisar o circuito e adaptarem-se ao seu ambiente natural. Eles farão os truques mais loucos e testarão a sua coragem para competir contra os oponentes mais ferozes. Mas os Tikis não procuram apenas a glória: tornarem-se nos novos aprendizes de Wyatt Whale também é a sua única chance de ter acesso a mais eco-tecnologias e encontrar uma maneira de evitar que a sua ilha afunde debaixo de água. O fracasso não é uma opção: o destino do arquipélago dos Tikis depende da sua vitória.

O Qᴜᴇ Mᴇ Aᴛʀᴀɪᴜ: Andava eu pelo Sic K e arredores à procura de novas séries de animação e do nada, apareceram os Droners. Nunca tinha sequer ouvido falar da série mas a sinopse e a capa puseram-me curiosa, quem não adora drones e uma competição dramática de alto risco numa ilha? Ao ver o primeiro episódio também fiquei apegada devido à animação: é linda, colorida e parece feita para pôr o espectador feliz. Para os fãs de Wakfu (sei que há muitos mais fãs do jogo do que da série, principalmente fora de França), isto é para vocês, digo já, a animação parece ser exatamente do mesmo tipo, é parecidíssima, mas com cores mais vivas. (E eu sei do que estou a falar, o meu irmão viu a série mil e uma vezes e ele próprio atesta às semelhanças com os Droners). Por último, o facto de ser uma série francesa inspirou-me logo confiança, tal como no caso das séries sobre futebol, quase todas os programas que vi produzidos por estúdios franceses foram inesperadamente bons: Lolirock, As Espias!, Code Lyoko, Miraculous (ainda que com os seus defeitos)... acho que as séries italianas seguem o mesmo padrão mas isso é conversa para outro dia.

Dᴇsᴛᴀǫᴜᴇs: Há muito a adorar nesta série. Para aqueles que querem séries leves com episódios fomulaicos onde sabem com que podem contar, Droners é para vocês, a maioria dos episódios seguem esta estrutura básica: 1-Há um circuíto novo com desafios inesperados; 2- Os Tikis têm dificuldades na corrida de preparação por terem um drone mais simples que os outros; 3- São obrigados a usar a inteligência e a explorar a natureza das ilhas para encontrar uma solução no ecossistema; 4-Usam a solução inovadora na corrida final e ganham, além de resolverem algum conflito pessoal. Se quiserem passar pela série sem pensar muito, isso é totalmente possível, podem aproveitar as cores e a diversão e ter uma experiência agradável enquanto se imaginam a pilotar os drones. Para mim, séries assim são perfeitas para desanuviar mas para os que, por outro lado, acham isto repetitivo e aborrecido, não se preocupem, porque é aí que reside a magia dos Droners, há uma camada adicional de história a acontecer para quem se quiser envolver. Os primeiros episódios são os mais fraquinhos e habituam o espectador a um ritmo pacato sem grandes surpresas, mas a meio da temporada as coisas mudam, as dicas e informações sobre o funcionamento de Terraqua, um mundo que à primeira vista parece funcionar à base da fantasia e não ter grande conexão ao nosso, aumentam, mostrando que afinal não é um lugar assim tão diferente da nossa Terra. A história do que levou os participantes à competição e do que se passa nas suas respetivas ilhas a nível cultural e até mais é a minha parte favorita desta série, os criadores são espertos e para manter esse interesse vão revelando muito pouco de cada vez, exigindo algum raciocínio para conectar as coisas antes do final explosivo da primeira temporada, onde Wyatt (Wilson pela tradução) parece dar aos Tikis tudo o que eles sempre quiseram, mas ao custo de relações, confiança e até edifícios arruinados, virando tudo de pernas para o ar e redefinindo quem está no papel de vilão e de herói. Além da história e do mundo, os Droners também têm personagens muito interessantes, só a nível de design toda a gente é única e a forma como se apresentam reflete exatamente as suas origens e personalidade. Os quatro protagonistas (que tinham nomes brutais na língua original que por razões que não fazem sentido foram traduzidos para nomes portugueses genéricos) parecem um pouco básicos no início, mas revelam ter passados e habilidades que não se esperavam, especialmente a Clara (porque raio mudaram Corto para Clara?) que vai crescendo e mostrando que não é simplesmente alguém com a mania de barafustar com tudo e todos, é um prodígio que sacrificou muito para chegar onde está e Henrique (não aceito este nome) que literalmente viveu na selva! O resto do elenco é cheio de diversidade e complexidade e é tão satisfatório de conhecer como os protagonistas, especialmente quando está a criar relações com eles (ouvi dizer que na temporada 2 as coisas viram com a Clara e que ela não fica com quem eu queria que ficasse, por favor digam-me que isto não vai ficar um romance de inimigos para amantes, POR FAVOR, ele ser giro não justifica nada). Há também que mencionar a dinâmica dos movimentos dos personagens, quase me esquecia, as batalhas de drones são animadas com uma fluidez e precisão impressionantes.

Cᴏɴᴄʟᴜsᴀ̃ᴏ/Oᴘɪɴɪᴀ̃ᴏ Fɪɴᴀʟ: É uma série ótima e só aceito que não falem muito dela ainda porque é muito recente, especialmente em Portugal. Realmente, os Droners oferecem tudo: há a história de um mundo misterioso, personagens complexas que não têm intenções tão óbvias como aparentam, um bocadinho pequenininho de romance para quem precisar das borboletas, o conceito de amigos que se tornam família por escolha, espíritos antigos e poderosos que antes governavam tudo e que agora se limitam a correr dentro de drones e a ser mal humorados, batalhas em circuitos épicos, um ambiente tão mágico como tecnológico, um monte de miúdos com mais às costas do que deviam, uma ilha literalmente feita de doces com gomas ursinho agressivas... O que se pode pedir mais? Bem, outra temporada, mas para isso têm de ver a que está disponível agora. Para quem quer uma série com a estética de Wakfu, criaturas que atuam quase como Pokémons e um mundo em risco estilo Ōban Star-Racers.

E é tudo, despeço-me com o mimo que é esta animação!

⚠️Spoiler alert if you haven't seen it yet⚠️

Sweet dreams my children, perhaps Nora and Efrim could not return to their Dofus, but they will be together in their dreams. Dreaming that they are back home, playing and dancing in the flower meadows, No worries, just the two of them, like before.

To calm my emotional emptiness, I imagined that the great Dragon came to save them and help them with anything, that they would return to the world of twelve with Nora and Efrim already cured and the great dragon.

I will miss the Wakfu series, the excitement for every Friday night for a new chapter, I cried too much. But it was a great ending.

[clansocreations]

Like think about it, every other character class is named after (and watched over by) some sort of god or goddess.

(Like Osamodas' Whip, which I've just started to play has Osamodas, god of Pokemon trainers and picking up dog poop)

Even the Eliatropes who are not a character class were named after their goddess.

Whereas the Eliotropes only have a name that only poins out how they are not Eliatropes. Because they aren't. Theyre echoes, reflections, ghosts.

But even worse:

The god that made them literally didn't even know they exist.

In a world full of gods, where everyone, PC or NPC, has someone to believe in these guys have absolutely no one

How tragic is that?

*screams in Wakfu the animated series*

Like from a game design/storytelling standpoint i know this was Ankamas plan all along but STILL

AAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!

Dofus: The Production - what is left of the old movie

Originally, the movie was supposed to tie in with the game and the Welsh & Shedar series, and be a trilogy.

As we had already explored on this blog, this did not happen for a variety of reasons.

Welsh and Shedar got cannibalized by other projects due to its cancellation, and the script of the movie "Dofus Book 1: Joris Jurgen" had to be completely rewritten from its old plot;

In that movie, Joris was likely supposed to be a street urchin, who survived together with Lilotte, who was a rogue, and the trailer we have for the older version of the movie reflects that:

As we can also see from the trailer, and the poster featured earlier, proto-Kerubim is also a part of the movie, and Khan was not yet meant to be a boufbowler.

(And considering the posters, the cat that inspired Kerubim's design was also a part of the movie. I wonder if it's related to Welsh's cat from Welsh and Shedar? But maybe I'm just crazy.)

Subsequently, the movie came out at a much later date than planned originally.

(two images included because, bizarrely, there are two versions - one with Joris's tail censored, and the other with his tail uncensored. This proves that already at this point they had a draconic backstory in mind for him, though we do know that at the time of Wakfu season 1 (and, likely, the cancelled DS game, as was noted in my post about it) it was not the case.)

Also, interestingly, it is the only art of this time to include the tail. A possible error on Xa's part, or something that was considered very briefly?

In the end, Kerubim (as well as Simone) swallowed up not just the design of Welsh's cat, clothes, and Ecaflip friend;

He also got the role Julith was supposed to have, both metaphorically, and also literally.

Or not entirely — considering the fact that Joris was supposed to spend time with him anyway, since we have art of Joris on his mount from that old draft.

It's quite interesting, to think of all that could have been different in the 2009-2012 version of the movie!

But even during the making of the second draft of the movie, a lot of things have changed. From the first idea of Joris winning Kerubim back at a pachinko machine, to the concept art of Joris's non-possessed appearance.

The movie was being actively rewritten at the time of the making of Aux Tresors, so some of the early drafts were already tied in with its canon — taking place in Astrub, to be specific — but not with its ending, because the show was still ongoing.

At one point there was supposed to be a whole cast of Huppermage characters, and judging from the fact one of them is mentioned in the following text, they did play some sort of role in the plot:

It is likely that from this early draft it was decided that Joris would be a boufbowl fan, which was then worked in as a plot point in Aux Tresors.

(Stélina may be a proto-version of Bakara.)

It also seems that at this stage, it would be likely that Lilotte was reworked to be the Princess of Bonta, before eventually becoming the Ouginak we know and love.

After this Ankama once again returned to the concept of Lilotte as an orphan, though — even when the movie was still set in Astrub!

And it seems that the draft involved travel between Astrub and Bonta, judging from the usage of a Zaap to attack Luis.

And even at this point they have come up with the tragically cut "Joris and Khan go to adult industry workers and Joris (10yo boy) engages in depressed underaged drinking" scene.

(I'll never forgive Ankama for cutting this. I still argue that it's in character for Khan, our detested/beloved turbovirgin, to do this — as long as he doesn't get together with any of the women due to thinking himself "too good" for them.)

Also, at some point the gods were supposed to play a role. And personally, I am glad it was cut — it feels a bit too grand for the first movie in what was supposed to be a series.

I don't have any grand statement, or conclusion, but it is interesting to see all the ways the movie has changed.

✨TOT SAYS THINGS✨

TW: DEATH

So, here there are some things revealed by Tot during his interview

The Goddess Eliatrope is the representation of Tot's mother, who was traumatized by the death of her child

Rotalstrom isn't dead as we think. Anyway, the Necrome Dofus are "rotten" so they will never Hatch, but there Is still power inside

In Waven we won't have Eliatropes and Sadida as available classes, and Tot said that something will happen in Waven's serie that explain their absence

[wonderfull-star]

I constantly think about concept art “what Joris would look like as an adult if he was not hosting Grougalorasalar”. I still can’t believe that there is real concept art with his “true appearance”.

It turns out that Joris’s facial features are like his mother’s and his hair and eye color are like his father’s.

Please, someone draw him like this but as an adult 🥺

Also this means that we now officially have another couple in the style of “reckless Iop and the tired of life blond character.”(if you know what I mean; yea Goultard and Joris)

It’s actually interesting that in the animated series(both wakfu and dofus) Iop characters usually fall in love with blondes.

[jorisjurgen]

Honestly, I'm not good at Goultard lore (though judging from your blog you are 👁👁) but Kerubim is literally so chill about everything ever that I think if he and Goultard met in a tavern and Goultard was like "yeah im not massacring people anymore. thats behind me now. do you want a beer" they would become instant besties.

I think joris and goultard's relationship would be a thousand times funnier if joris actually couldn't stand him and was only cordial and polite out of respect, but goultard just can't take a hint

dofus ramble whatever its 2 am

i luv arty and gou forever forever but honestly dodge and ejipe are like- just as important to me honestly ? its the reluctant ''fine i guess ill let this kid follow me for awhile''. its the fact they both come from abusive families. its the fact they both have trauma revolving their faiths. its the fact that ejipe's father wanted to manipulate him into killing dodge, but didn't in the end because ''its pretty nice having friends''. its the fact that dodge and ejipe made a death pact (if you help me resurect my dad ill give you your death of your dreams), but in the end it never happens. because dodge has a reason to live now. he's got someone else to live and stay alive for. sometimes a family is the most sopping wet unlucky catguy ever and his mentally unwell skeleton son and fuck man i want them to sail the seas for the rest of their lives together (and they do !! canonically !!). they mean the world to me
