Stricklake Month week one: Myth/Technology
I finished it and man, I am exhausted. But here it is:
So it is just a short little animation kind of thing. It shows Barbara reading an old Book about Trolls and Changelings and finding a depicted of Walter...In a different way...
My link to the written Story for it.
It took me SO long to do all of that. Anyways, ig you wanna see a little more of creepy Troll Walt then let me know. I would enjoy writting my thoughts and process to his new form. Well anyways, closeup:
Yes I did wrote all of that on trollish...until I gave up. Translation:
Page 1: Stricklander + The winged devil
Page 3: Wings, claws, face, spikes, fangs, horns, eyes
Page 4: an evil and vile creature with claws bigger than swords and sharp tusk that rip through any skin with ease.

Hello to all fellow Stricklake fans!! Once again it's time to get excited for Stricklake month this August! This year I will be hosting the upcoming month long event, and I hope by releasing the prompts a month in advance like last year, it gives all of you who are interested in participating this year time to prepare!
The event will start 1st of August, and finish on the 31st of August. Our prompts this year are as follows:
Week one: (August 1st - 6th) Myth/Technology
Week two: (August 7th - 13th) Shipwrecked/Resort
Week three: (August 14th - 20th) Sunlight/Moonlight
Week four: (August 21st - 27th) Blood/Healing
Final roundup: (August 31st)
For those new to Stricklake month, all mediums are welcome as long as the focus remains on the relationship Barbara Lake/Walter Strickler and you are welcome to fill in as many or little prompts as you like, from any of the weeks. There's no obligation to do all!
Make sure to tag your entries with #keenswimmers2024! This helps to ensure everyone can find Stricklake month content for this year and also helps me with roundup posts at the end of each week.
If you can, please spread the word by reblogging this post and support fellow fan creators during the event in August with reblogs and comments! ❤️💚
Special thanks are also in order for @rexnanorum and @seekerofblades for the absolutely fantastic graphics above, as well as for the headers for each week. I owe them full credit for bringing this year's Stricklake month to life!
Thanks also to @megan0013 and @toodrasticallydumb for helping me come up with prompts, otherwise I don't think I could have done this alone! 😅

Manifestation of love
Stricklake month week 1: Myth
I chose (maybe not so surprisingly) a Greek myth for my first contribution for stricklake month 🙂. It is the story of the sculptor Pygmalion which is told in Ovids' Metamorphoses. Pygmalion creates a very lifelike ivory scupture depicting the woman of his dreams and subsequently falls deeply in love with his creation. He wishes nothing more than his lover to be real. The goddess of love, Aphrodite, eventually grants his wish and the sculpture comes to live. The drawing shows exactly the moment of the statue starting to become human.
I think this story of finding love unexpectedly is quite fitting for a stricklake scenario although the roles here are somewhat reserved because Walt is the artist and Barbara the one made of stone...oh, and there is, also a broken statue of the minotaurus in rhge back as kind of a vanitas Chiffre for Walters self perception as a monster and his, self doubt... But don't worry, despite this being a Greek myth all turns out well here for the lovers
I hope you like it!

Attempting to do Stricklake month! Here is my first offering, with the theme Utopia.
Utopia: an imagined state of things in which everything is perfect.
I feel like Barbara and Strickler would imagine everything being perfect with Strickler in a human form. Walter seemed to be more comfy in human form for a while there, and while Barbara and him definitely adjusted their definition of perfect as their love grew I feel like around the eclipse event the perfect state of things would be having a NORMAL wedding. Human to human, just two sweethearts in love.
So I drew this trying to show the imagined utopia vs the reality around the edges. my composition skills are NOT all that great and some stuff doesn’t really make sense, but I am overall satisfied. I gave up on making a background but I think in future ones I will put more time in! Maybe i will even color lines…
i made Barbara kinda battlescarred in the reality because I was timeslotting this around the big fight

Stricklake Month Week 4 pt 2: Healing
There were a few reasons the original one shot that went with this was abandoned. The biggest one being that I couldn’t bring myself to leave Walt dead. Barbara worked her damndest to keep him alive and he was fine. Jim also didn’t kill anyone and, at this point, just wants snuggles.

Week 2 /Royal AU
While drawing it I couldn't stop myself from thinking about dynamic relationship between princess and gargoyle or some another gentle beast who protects castle from invaders (hello gargoyles series 1994's fandom)
At the first time lady Barbara would be a bit afraid of mysterious creature that protects her castle at night, but she is brave woman and she should be grateful to her heroes. So she started getting closer to Walter - you know, she turns out to be extremely curious about his nature; for Stricker it is very unusual experience to connect with a human (very pretty one by the word!)

I guess I really liked this prompt because I did another take for Healing. After fighting the titans, many members of the family were injured, including new addition Skrel. Though she had some help from Morgana and Lenora, Barbara did most for the healing and was particularly exhausted once everyone was stable and on the mend.

Striklake month, Dystopia. Though my version looks bit of a apocalyptic.

Stricklake month week one: Myth / Technology
I decided to combine the two themes. In the original myth, the cut cable would have been a woolen thread and definitely not cut. Also, the main protagonists would not have been in the labyrinth together. Any idea yet which myth it could be? If not, just take a closer look at the shadows behind Barbara (if it should be too dark, let me know and I will add a slightly brighter version).

Stricklake month week 4 - Blood
Fright night turned real??? Part 1!
(caution... Scary soundeffects included 😉)
Walt and Barbara watch a scary (and surely fake-blood filled) movie together. (Walt in fact doesn't care for horror movies but they can be aquite useful excuse to cuddle up... Which he does like! )
The evening seems to go well, until.... things take a turn to a real splatter movie😱🩸🗡️... Or do they? What will happen next???
Stay tuned for part 2. Until then, have some closeups...

I saw your post for Stricklander month and it looks absolutely amazing. One question though.
How do I participate?
I’ll probably be uploading fics onto ao3, is there a tag or something I should use?
Hi there!
I'm glad you're interested in Stricklake month!
Participation is simply ensuring you're focusing on the relationship between Barbara Lake/Walter Strickler and choosing from the prompts on the announcement post.
Otherwise make sure to tag your entries with #keenswimmers2024.
If you're posting fics on A03 you can still tag it with keenswimmers2024 and also post the link on tumblr with the tag so that people can find your work.
Hope this helps!
#trollhunters#tales of arcadia#walter strickler#stricklake#Barbara Lake#Ask answers#Stricklake month#Keenswimmers2024#Hopefully this helps if you want to participate#The prompts for each week are the best place to start if you still don't have any clear ideas
