The art of Sam Bosma.

Titan I think I just realized that this specific bit of crew art from S1A that always stuck out to me for its indescribable, already-nostalgic, beautiful and mysterious vibes was referenced in the architecture of Police Precinct 206/the hospital in Latissa. Given it was done by location designer Sam Bosma, of course this art has such elaborate architecture and of course he incorporated it into another location, maybe it was always the plan in fact!

And it’s the second time that Bosma’s art has alluded to something that I missed out on! First within the art, and then within the show! The first time was in the hiatus for S1B where I was going full Gravity Falls analysis mode, looking for motifs and trying to predict on what the appearance and character of Belos (then known as Bellows due to subtitles, before Dana corrected it after S1B’s trailer released) would be like since I was intrigued by the mention and implications of him in Covention. And so I speculated the most obscure background details as foreshadowing his look, only to be off. I also saw this crew art during this time period. Eventually the trailer for S1B dropped and I was disproven all along.

EXCEPT!!!!!! Right beneath the owl at the top of this architecture is Belos! It was there in our faces all along as I’d hoped and I missed it!!!! And now once again it’s happened, but in reverse; I didn’t notice something from the show was in this art. Now I failed to realize something from this art was in the show through S2, namely this entire, orb-like structure! When someone pointed out the Belos connection to me in the year before S2, I did recall speculating if it foreshadowed other things, such as his mysterious endgame with the Day of Unity.

Namely, the orb looked like it could be the Demon Realm’s planet, and that magic was being funneled upwards to something angelic, celestial, because I speculated on angelic and celestial beings during the wait for S2. And while they weren’t angelic, we DID get the cosmic Archivists, whose draining spell funnels magic upwards from the people of the isles and into the moon…!

We even have this overhanging roof built around the ground, around the source of the magic, as it’s funneled upwards into something above the structure…!

Mayhaps this is actually the third time Sam Bosma has foreshadowed things here. God I love this piece it’s so powerful to me and feels so gentle and in awe of the world and it gave me nostalgia despite the show just starting. It was all the beginning of something truly magical where there was still so much more to know and explore and the exciting mystery behind it, this early era of the show and the lead up to it.
