#Tales of Arcadia Fashion Week

[venusofsuburbia]

mid-year (ish) reading roundup

I never got how people could read 52 books in 52 weeks, but then I got a library card and downloaded the Libby app, and now holy shit I've read 52 books by August. anyway I borrowed this questionnaire from @wormwoodandhoney!

best book you’ve read so far in 2023? Dress Codes: How the Laws of Fashion Made History by Richard Thompson Ford. this is exactly the kind of academic book on fashion that I've been dying for. I want ten more of these and to kiss him on the mouth.

best sequel you’ve read so far in 2023? I don't usually read series, but I made an exception for Hannah Whitten's For the Wolf, and I'm so glad I did. it took me a while to fall in love with this fantasy twist on Red Riding Hood, but once I did, I fell hard, and I'm planning on reading the sequel For the Throne once it's finally released.

new release you haven’t read yet, but want to: I don't really keep up with releases, but the new releases I've enjoyed most recently are The Guest by Emma Cline, about a low-level con woman drifting through the New York upper class, and Silver Nitrate by Silvia Moreno-Garcia, about a sound editor in 1990s Mexico who gets caught up in an occultist's plot dating back to old Hollywood.

most anticipated release for the second half of the year: this is cheating because it's coming out in February, but the teasers for Saint Gibson's An Education in Malice already have me drooling.

biggest surprise: I picked Art and Madness: A Memoir of Lust Without Reason by Anne Roiphe at random off a prop bookshelf backstage, and immediately experienced that wonderful shock you get when meet a stranger who understands you perfectly.

favorite new author (debut or new to you): Jeannette Ng, whose Victorian gothic fantasy romance Under the Pendulum Sun I devoured in less than 24 hours.

newest favorite character: a tie between Catherine Helstone (Under the Pendulum Sun) and Noemí Taboada (Mexican Gothic).

book that made you cry: The Unexpurgated Beaton. these are British photographer, designer, and former Bright Young Thing Cecil Beaton's unedited diaries from the last ten years of his life, and I knew this going in, but still, somehow, it snuck up on me that he dies in the end.

book that made you happy: Maurice by E.M. Forster! what a relief, what a joy, to know that tales of queer love could have happy endings, even in 1914.

most beautiful book you’ve bought so far this year (or received): that honor would have to go to Kit Mayquist's modern gothic novel Tripping Arcadia!

what books do you need to read by the end of the year? Gods of Jade and Shadow (Silvia Moreno-Garcia), Save Me the Waltz (Zelda Fitzgerald), The Language of Fashion (Roland Barthes), and Other People's Shoes: Thoughts on Acting (Harriet Walter)

#these questions are geared toward fiction but i read just as much if not more nonfiction #send me questions about that too if you like! #books #bookblr #book recs #time for venus's opinion

Not gonna do the whole week of these because 1.) I know I won’t have the energy to keep up and 2.) fashion isn’t really my strong suit (no pun intended)...but I figured I’d do at least one or two. :) 

So here is Jim and Claire with a more Trollmarket-esque style! Also Claire’s was heavily based on @aevykartandcosplay’s design cuz I thought it was really cool! o3o Meanwhile Jim’s is more inspired by Draal 👀

Tales of Arcadia Fashion Week: Day 1 Trolls!!

“The trolls of Arcadia finally arrive to the red carpet, ready and dressed for the premier of the last part of the Tales of Arcadia: Wizards!

Vendel, former elder of Trollmarket, seems to have chosen a traditional style from his homeland, Scotland! That old goat truly shines on that traditional kilt.

Aarghaumont, better known as AAARRRGGHH!!! seems to have chosen a krubera-style outfit for the premiere, red is totally his color!

Blinkous must have been helped by Jim to chose his outfit, the new Trollmarket’s elder totally rocks on a more human-like outfit. Joke intended

Both Imah and Draal chose to wear a mix of their troll heritage as well as their human friendly side! That traditional Pion vest harmonize with the human styled vest on Draal’s outfit!

Last but not least, the newest addition to the troll crew, Callista! Our misterious trouble maker rocks in that purple dress, let’s see what kind of surprises she has for us in this new release of the Tales of Arcadia Saga, should we?”

Let’s start the final track to Wizards!!!

For the Fashion week I decided that I wanted to work on a Red Carpet kind of entries.

ENJOY! AND LET’S GO!

Tales of Arcadia Fashion Week, Day 6: Crossover

“NO CAPES! And why would you keep your knives around your neck, darling, it’s an accident waiting to happen, and put something on under that loincloth or you’ll flash the whole world every time you kick or fly ...”

Image shows Waltolomew Stricklander (aka Walter or Walt Strickler) (Tales of Arcadia), in troll form, being grabbed by Edna Mode (The Incredibles), who is standing on a chair and holding his cape collar in both hands. Edna is yelling in his face about his fashion choices. 

Walt's body language and facial expression are meant to be ‘startled’, although I think I made his facial expression more ‘sad’. I guess he really did think it was a good look for picture day.

day 3 of the #tales of arcadia fashion week! the theme being ‘renaissance fair’!

here we have Him looking fine and fab in a renaissance dress of my own improvised design :P (after looking at a hundred ref images of course)

i was going to do strickler for this theme but i already drew him for day 2 and i didn’t want to repeat characters for these so do you see my mortal dilemma

themes and dates!

#tales of arcadia #trollhunters #tales of arcadia fashion week #draal the deadly #fashion #the flowers at his horns are supposed to be yellow-red begonias! i went with a red and yellow style overall on this... to match his eyes #the flowing dress didn’t go exactly how i wanted it to turn out but it’s okay! meaning i may never try that again dkfkdk #fan art #mine

Tales of rcadia Fashion Week: Day 4 | 5 Aliens | Decade Crash

“The monarchs of the Tarron house have finally arrived! But of your majesties seem to have chosen traditional Akiridion wear for today’s premiere. And let’s be honest y’all, the secrecy of their role on Wizards is killing us!

Steve Palchuk, our confirmed Creepslayer, has chosen to wear Akiridion’s color to accompany Aja and Krel on their aesthetic for today! Will he say the fate of his partner Creepslayer? Let’s go and find out!

And not long after the Tarron’s arrival, we can finally see no other than Lady Barbara Lake and the former leader of the Janus Order, Walt Stricklander! Both of them vibing a kind of vintage clothes don’t you think? The senior members of the Trollhunters come here to rock the red carpet on the old style! Will we be able to see them on screen as protagonics again? Maybe a cameo? There are so many secrets to discover, let’s stay tuned, folks!”

OK YEAH, I GOT LATE. I’M SORRY I GOT BUSY OUT OF THE BLUE.

But I was getting anxious of being late so I left these drawings on flat color and a kind of messy lineart for the sake of my mental health. Tomorrow’s we will be back to full color, I promise! Hope you like the drawings tho!
