#toa Wizards

[toa-archive]

So last week Aaron unexpectedly posted the early story grid for Wizards (Here) which threw a lot of things into a tailspin. Getting hold of anything Wizards related is always gold given how much was lost due to time constraints or other factors, this one was fascinating.

Then yeah he goes and drops another one earlier today:

Now there is a running joke on the Archive that the account holder has a habit of enacting this meme except it's less conspiracy theorist more they are an idiot and can/will connect dots others miss.

AND BOY DID THIS THING HAVE DOTS

Now there's a lot to talk about in that grid from the fact it's when the past!team and present!team was still a thing, people you're not expecting to die dying, Douxie never meeting Zoe in Camelot as the prison break never happened....

And a sidetrack please forgive me:

Called it! The odds of being wrong on this one were minimal because Gnasha was killed at Killahead, due to AAARRRGGHH was a small jump in logic but oh. Oh that vindication of being right is so sweet.

Ahem.

What will actually concern people will be this story grid actually explains a few pieces of artwork that without it's context made little sense. The first of which is this artwork by Sean Murray which had the very curious title of Morgana's Castle and Morgana's Throne Room respectively. This has never made sense as surely it was the Arcane Order's castle? Unless of course there was a version where it actually wasn't.

Another of Sean Murray's artwork are these Amulets... Which could easily double up for these mysterious seals that are a separate thing, not a box as they came to be. They could also been a design for accessing the things or something else entirely! This has given them a possible reason for being designed in the first place.

Under the Lava Wizard image on artstation, the caption mentions it was an early concept for Morgana's Castle (There again!) while the art says "Lava" wizard tower. The second mentions unused concept for flying castles with none being uploaded for Ice. Clearly at one point they were thought to be floating about before it became just one for the Arcane Order. It's certainly an interesting thought though budget wise the end result was the wisest for certain.

Anyway going to go pore over the grid some more now. As a final thought, that floating castle's weird spikey things look suspiciously like those on Morgana's helmet don't they. Aphantasia meant didn't notice prior to having very big bright red dots sitting next to one another to point it out.

“ Don’t think, Master Jim. Become. “

I bring upon ye—Jim fanart!

Not sure what possessed me at this moment but I just thought it’d be cool to do something with him (and give him cool armour ehehheeh).

Prompt 3: wizards

I had the idea of all the Arcadia kids going on vacation. Since Blinky mentions theme parks and Florida, Dreamwork’s being owned by Universal, what about are three favourite scorcerers having fun at universal studios Harry Potter. Enjoy there shenanigans.

Zoe is so done.

・FUZZBUCKETS!・

The second of my two pieces for @demonunderpressure's Tales of Arcadia Zine!

I wanted to do a Scott Pilgrim parody with our favorite rocking Brit! I really love how this one turned out!

return of the madlad 🎸

One of many recommendations for Troll Jim drawings:

Jim being a “little” shit teasing Douxie cause he taller than him now.

He may be taller but Douxie’s still got several years on the buddy boy.

More recommended pictures to come 😄

toa kiddos from a bit ago ^__^

was practicing painting on 1 layer for funsies and it turned into a bunch of them

[aiyve-rose]

Finally finished this

Sorry it took a while, I mayy have accidentally injured my hand while trying to cut a mango 😔 so a few art pieces are on hold.

Skaksks I'm experimenting with this style so let me know what you guys think!

+ a sneak peek of the jim & claire piece I'm working on.

[yoshis-island420]

been practicing drawing this boi since yesterday. I think it’s going… fine-ish. I hope so, at least. Thoughts?

Here’s some close ups of the last two drawings that I really like :>

Happy Father's Day to the best troll dad, the dad that stepped up.

Went insane and drew up some Claire designs—I’m not fully hooked on them yet but I don’t hate them either. Any opinions on these are great! (Also Claire is so fun to draw apparently)

@alchemisticramblings!!! (Start drawing Claire, I dare you)
