My piece in the @sing-it-togetherzine! At first I wanted to make a classic comic but the whole scrapbook theme was too tempting so I switched to making an illustration of an opened spread in a family memory book/scrapbook—a collage of photos, magazine clippings and written messages that you have to look through to piece together the story I originally wanted to tell. I tried to make it as coherent as possible though, so no worries. 😅
I focused on what got me so invested in the last film and then in the trolls fandom in the first place, and of course it's the whole brozone family backstory/drama plus the worldbuilding in general. So I wanted to show a lighthearted moment from the brothers' youth back at the troll tree:
I imagine a society that puts so much importance on singing and celebration would probably make a big deal out of kids' voices changing into their adult voices during puberty. In this case poor Clay has the embarrassing experience of having his voice completely mature in one quick dramatic voice break on stage while the brothers are performing their big number. The guy is completely mortified while everyone else is just celebrating and happy for him. 🥳🥳😳🥳
This zine was so much fun to be a part of! If you haven't yet, check it out. It's free and full to the brim with amazing drawings, stories and comics! 💕
