Sorry if this seems kinda out of the blue, but I've recently delved through the Rise of the Guardians Fandom Wiki to look at all the concept art (a fair bit of which isn't included in the Art Book) and I couldn't help but overhear your desire for cosmic/abyssal horror. If you want to keep it with Pitch, might I suggest taking a look at the wonderful concept art from Simon Rodgers? This was made sometime during the concept stages of Rise of the Guardians' development when the characters were much closer to their book counterparts. I'm certain you've seen the "Eldritch Pitch" image before—Simon made that!

The last image seems to suggest that the Nightmare Galleon's crash to Earth was responsible for the formation of Pitch's Lair, creating a warped and toxic environment for him to fester. It reminds me of Christian Scheurer's take on the Nightmare Galleon: something much more fitting for a sci-fi setting than magical fantasy, but really cool nonetheless.

And of course, we can't forget about Shane Prigmore's contributions when the movie was still in development before Peter Ramsey took it in the direction we know and love today. The image of a colossal nightmarish Pitch absolutely dwarfing a human town is breathtaking.

Anyways, I just thought this concept art was really neat and it was the perfect opportunity to share it with another Rise of the Guardians/Guardians of Childhood fan (even if I'm just blabbing excitedly to one of my top favorite fanfic authors). If nothing else, I hope you wow in awe as I did seeing it!

God yes, I love eldritch Pitch so much! I have the rotg movie art book, and some of the Nightmare Pitch (like the ones above) are just so stunning and breathtaking!

I have had ideas for a fic retelling the movie with a Pitch who never left his Nightmare roots, an actual Nightmare terror the Guardians actually fear and almost respect for all the horror he brings, and a Jack who doesn't remember his past comes in and jokes about rumors of the Boogieman (because who would take that seriously, amiright?). Only for the Guardians to be like, no, you don't understand. And when Jack finally meets Pitch, he can't help but feel the same cold wash of terror from him because he knows Pitch is hiding something and later sees him for the eldritch horror he truly is.

Im a sucker for cosmic horror and Guardians of Childhood barely scratched the surface of possibilities for Pitch

Saw this in my town once around Xmas (it’s advertising flavors for a gelato shop). I’m guessing that RotG!Jack was who showed up most prominently on the google results for ‘Jack Frost’, so here he is! 🩵💙🤍🩶

opinion on Tooth as a character?

ooooh ok

I'm honestly not that fond of her, which sucks when she's the only major female role in the movie (sorry but jack's sister, sophie, pippa and cupcake did not have big roles).

this is not to say that no one else should enjoy her character, I hope others do. I just can't connect to her personally.

putting this under a cut so tooth enthusiasts don't have to see my negativity.

but while this is a personal opinion, i also think that Dreamworks really dropped the ball on her character. There's a bit of a trope for "largely male action group with token girl" and Tooth falls into several subcategories:

only one interested in romance

gratuitous lack of clothing/skin tight clothing

more focussed on lead male's emotions/story than her own

paired up with the lead male regardless of chemistry

which ik has all been said before but it still really colours her character and dulls her down to something that's really quite boring to me.

I think if she'd had more conflict or like any personal journey I could have been more on board, but she doesn't change at all throughout the movie. She started off perfect, and she ended up perfect.

i mean, in comparison to her having the most mild journey of

"learning how to reconnect with the Heart of her job"

which ALL of her male costars got that as just a base storyline to build their own personal journeys off of -

Jack got to learn how to accept responsiblility

Bunny got to learn how to relax/enjoy the little things

North got to become a father figure

(Sandy fuckin died but he still got a very minor arc about being listened to & finding joy in things)

Even Pitch got the standard villain lessons - vengeance achieves nothing, compassion wins against hatred, joy wins against fear.

what about Tooth? what was her personal journey outside of the collective? having a crush on Jack?

not only that but she was the first to be attacked, her forces dessimated before we got a chance to see them in action.

She's the damsel in distress that everyone rushes to rescue.

it's all just such a let down - and tbh I don't think I've seen any fans characterise her as anything other than a passive, motherly or romantic person with bonus action scenes (and occaisionally swords).

which is not meant to hate on anyone, just an observation because that's exactly what the movie gave us and almost nothing else.

which is just such a shame because she has so much more potential.

and ofc i'm bringing in book!tooth here because she is much more interesting to me - not a perfect character! not by any means, but a more interesting one that movie!tooth imo.

not only is she wearing clothes (albeit feathery ones), but she has weapons that look and behave like weapons (not the "wings are swords" approach that RotG took), and her makeup has more to do with war paint and culture than.. built in pink eye shadow.

but that's only the physical side of her. her book personality has her more serious, grim and skittish.

and she has a personal quest (killing the monkey king to avenge her parents) and a personal journey (learning to trust others) that don't hinge on a love interest.

what sucks even worse though is that we were very close to seeing a tooth that's a halfway point between the books and the final movie

we almost had a tooth that was explicitly a warrior, who was distrustful of others and who didn't immediately see Jack as a romance.

the one movie design thing i wish they had more time to show off with her was her physicality. because the behind the scenes stuff has so much to say about how they made her move and why and it's so animalistic

like between the calm and cool, regal book!tooth and the rageful animal movie!tooth???? i'm choosing the feral beast on the left.

the only visual additions i'd make to her in that moment would be to fluff up the rest of her feathers & give her swords (swords are cool). like this scene really shows off her head feathers looking like a crown but also making her look bigger, dangerous, sharper and scarier.

like god we were so close!

idk i remain kinda disappointed in the tooth we got because she just reads as "mother" or "love interest" and has very little agency in a movie that makes her repeatedly the damsel in distress and gives her character very little time to shine and grow.

Idk why but I was suddenly hit with thoughts of a Koz and Nightlight Sleeping Beauty au or a Cinderella au. Those damn thoughts of Koz using true loves kiss to wake up Nightlight or Koz finding Nightlight with the damn glass slipper! *grips chest*

I wish I had the time and energy to sketch out all of my ideas because Sleeping Beauty AU is giving me SO MANY BRAINWORMS!!! There’s so much involving Nightlight & kisses in the books and aughghgjdjf there’s so much juicy potential there!! Anyways at least have this one sketch of Koz going in for the kill kiss.
