I am pleased to tell you that I will be able to rest in peace.
I thought it would take me a while to do it, but with a little more experience from the first one I did, I got a better result. Hope you like it Especially to @shadowmancer1215

Unkar the unfortunate has had many stages in his life. The first was that of a stubborn warrior who sometimes messed up. The second was when he was a troll hunter and only lasted a day, which meant he had to be replaced. And the third and final phase is when Unkar is an alchemist and an excellent woodcarver, and he's also a fun and unique guy with a big heart. Even though Unkar has fallen, he never stops.
While Germany went a bit bonkers with their own merch, France actually did their own series of five books for Trollhunters! Since was asked about them now seems as good a time as any to make a post about it.
These were published by BibliothĆØque Rose et Verte which is a children's book line that are banded by age and gender kinda? Books are separated into two different categories (Bar a new one that seems to have appeared which is it's own thing) with the paler the colour, the younger the targer audience, and the darker the colour the reverse. Think the best way to explain is to screenshot directly from their website how the system works:
Each book has their banding very clear on the spine which as you can see from these two series graphucs, Chasseurs de Trolls is firmly in the mid range section. While toned down a bit (Age range), they largely follow the episodes they're based on and don't fall into fluffy canon as a result.
If you're wondering how big we're talking here's Volume 1 with a Switch cartridge for scale. Perfect for small hands. The front of each has simple bio pages about various characters with Jim referred to as James and Jimmy and AAARRRGGHH being shortened to ARGH which is fair honestly. All the books can be found on Amazon, ebay is always a good bet and weirdly enough some libraries also stock them!
The first volume, Un nouvel ĆŖlu, is by far the easiest of them all to track down and being aimed at the 8-10 age bracket, very friendly if your French isn't great. That Amulet image was also seen on a Best Buy poster which has reappeared for some reason much like Bular looming on low opacity.
This page is taken from an amazon sample to give you an idea what inside is like. Throughout the books are graphics that are anything from the usual model poses, screenshots and maybe cropped from a screenshot? Very neat either way.
Non! hurle Bular.
The second volume, L'entraƮnement de maƮtre Jim, is the easier to spot having a unique red cover while also being the rarest for mystery reasons. This has been so bad it took until today for a non overpriced version to turn up and could use a giftcard to finally grab it.
The third volume, La vengeance des gobelins, has a habit of popping in and out of existence. Sometimes, lots of copies and good prices. Other times? Somebody is trying to charge a few hundred. It does have the most awful and thus best changeling though.
It's a bit on the small side (Thanks amazon) but this is the back of volume 3 if you were at all curious. Look at that face, delightful.
Volume 4, Un terrible duel, was pretty common at one point has been threatening to do a volume 2 and in fact somebody is trying to sell a copy for over a thousand right now. Scalpers aside, Jim's hand is doing frightening things on this cover.
Much like the first book, Attention: nain rebelle ! has remained pretty stable in both price and in copies which hopefully will continue. For whatever reason they released just these five in 2019/2000 and no more which is a shame. Still, you know they exist now so if you want them now is as good a time as any!
For all you English-speaking Trollhunters fans, you're missing out on a lot! I HIGHLY recommend the Spanish songs, especially by Milo J
So, you're telling me I've been imagining Jim with Gil/bajo la piel of Milo J and I have no one to talk to about it??
Btw, take this
'Miss Janeth, with all the respect, What good is algebra to me? It's not like I'm going to calculate how long it will take me to die if I jump off the roof of my house"
"Jim, sweetie, you're okey? This joke is worrying"
"Yes, obviously, I'm fine"
"Ma'am, he already tried it once and the string broke."
Going through some old art, and realized I never posted my Magical Fighter Krel AU!
The basis is that (on top of Akiridions being all human) some odd decades back, magical creatures started popping out of nowhere and harming humans; to combat this, magical fighter programs were funded, and the chosen wielders are assigned to hotspot towns to help quell the monster populations.
Aja and Krel, on a trip for summer break with their parents, get caught in a magical fighter attack, and Krel happens upon a wounded Izita, Arcadia's resident magical girl. She transfers Krel a piece of her powers before succumbing to her injuries, and now he's dealing with all that entails, while Aja encourages (more like barges) him to be a magical hero!
Luug is his animal companion because I say so. He looks like a bowling alley carpet. I love it.
I'm back with Day 3 of work. Because I took a three-day break, I've been able to bring you a preview.
I'm missing some things, of course, but it took me longer to get the photos than to actually do it š. I hope to finish soon and share my results with you.
Today I only ask for one thing... GIVE ME BACK MY YOUNG BACK š Oh man, this really hurts
Putting my complaints aside, it's been a long time since I've done anything related to Trollhunters, so it's time to put my skills to the test. Give me your opinions.
