Prompt #81: Katherine in cute or cool 80s fashion

My little gift for @rotgsecretsanta ✨

Had so many options for the style to choose from but went with something fairly basic haha :D But the colors were really fun to play with when choosing what to add to her iconic yellow :3

Happy Holidays!! 💛✨

Kinda obsessed with the historical context of Rise of the Guardians. Pitch wanting the Dark Ages to come back, which historically was the decline of culture and records. The Guardians rose at the same time as the Renaissance with the rise of culture, knowledge, and science. (Tooth in particular mentions that she hasn’t been out in the field for 440 years, give or take, which would put that smack dab in the middle of the Renaissance) 

The way Pitch doesn’t want the world to change, the way the Guardians change in tune with the world. The way Jack, who lived in has a human in the 17th or 18th century, who lived in the time after the Renaissance and lived witnessing the world all the way to the modern era, is there to show the Guardians how much they missed and how they can further change and improve for the more modern world. These characters are immortal beings who have so much power over the world, it makes so much sense that when they fall and rise in power it impacts the world that they want to influence, for better or for worse.

that moment when total isolation helps you realize you're in love with one of your crew mates/best friend, but it's too late to tell them because they don't know you're actually alive on the planet you were accidentally stranded on and can't contact them

and that moment when you realize you never got the chance to tell your best friend how you actually felt about them and now you have to live with the fact that you'll never get the chance now.

Omg I was gonna recommend rotg to you since it’s my favorite Dreamworks film besides HTTYD. So happy to find another fan of it! The fandom is lovely and the book series does a good job adding more background to the characters. If you want to talk about it at all, feel free; right now I’m feeling a lot like Jack in the beginning (lonely and invisible) so I’d love to gush over it with someone who gets it. ^^

I love Rise of the Guardians! I don’t think I’ve ever analyzed it before to figure out why. I think it’s probably just how earnest it is. It’s really firing on all cylinders, really trying to create moments of genuine impact and emotion out of characters that everybody has had a take on for like…several generations.

They didn’t just do their take on holiday characters. They tried to pay homage to everything a kid would like about those characters in their wildest fantasies. So yeah, Santa has tattoos and swords, but you know what else, he’s still jolly and jiggling his belly around and laughing. He still feels like Santa. He doesn’t feel like A Superhero Version of Santa. Because they put thought into having him be seen first in his workshop, making something, then making loud, silly noises of distress when it gets smashed. His first scene is not a superhero scene.

Bunny, too. Bunny is probably the farthest thing from what anyone imagines the Easter Bunny to be. But it feels like, if the character designers sat ten years-olds down and said, “okay, here’s a bunny. Now what if I give him boomerangs, should he have boomerangs? What if I make his legs longer so he’s up tall, should I draw that? Now what if he can throw eggs like grenades, should I draw that?” The ten year-old would be saying, “YES! YES!” At every question.

And they put so much effort into the way the characters move. But at the same time, nothing is too violent, or too scary. But they’re not afraid to do real, genuine emotion, or tackle hard subjects like, “What Does it Mean to Believe in Something?”

And they come at this movie from a kid’s perspective. I know they owe a lot to Joyce, but the movie has a lot of heart put into it. I don’t think it would lend itself very well to a sequel, but for a one-shot, it was wonderful. I think I saw it four times in theaters.

Jack, clueless about what love is: So idk but I feel really happy when I'm with Hiccup, it's so weird.

Rapunzel, dropping a dozen of books before her: You've come to the right person, I've read all about this back in the tower! So, do you ever get 'tingly toes' and a 'dizzy heart'..?

(Jack: Suddenly I regret this.)

Hi again! Can you do one for Nicholas St North? (From the books)

Nicholas St North (Rise of The Guardians)

[yetitakinginventory]

Working on the Books. Was planning to have the comparison in the post but then it would be too long so making it into it's own post.

Behold!

They changed the colors of the books!

This is the difference in color between the 3 book box set and the 5 book box set.

North's is harder to tell, but his original color is more blue silver than grey silver. Bunny also has a cooler color of purple vs his warmer pinker purple in 2012.

It's most obvious with Tooth, she originally had a dark green cover with light green title, now her title color is the entire cover.

While it's a pretty metallic green I feel like it washes out the faint green border.

okay so you know how in the books, when Pitch wasn’t Pitch and was Kozmotis, how he had a wife named Lady Pitchiner (i heard from sources that Joyce said her name was Jane which if true is adorable) but she wasn’t descripted and no pictures of her were made either (that i could find in the books or joyce’s twitter and also don’t say “mother nature” bc that’s literally pitch’s daughter)

i took it upon myself to make her a design, i think she’s incredibly gorgeous but thats NOT WHAT THIS IMAGE IS ABOUT, i just needed to give context

when i sat back and looked at Pitch and Lady Pitchiner together, i got massive “ponyo’s mom and dad” vibes and i just had to draw them as Fujimoto and Granmamare from Ponyo. and aren’t they just the cutest?? (and yes i drew PITCH, not Koz, mainly bc i like the concept of pitch falling in love with her all over again as a different person)

[jackfrostimposter]

genuinely why is there so much misinformation about the guardians of childhood book series?
