Description I've heard talk of people wanting to see speculative fan art of what it will look like when the HS kids encounter the trolls for the first time. So I did that --- based on ANIME STEREOTYPES!
John's off of shounen anime, early 00's.
Rose is shoujo manga heroine, 70'sish.
Dave's a 70's shoujo Mr. Cool Guy.
And Jade's a nerdy lackey found pretty much in everything!

And GA's the aloof cool girl, and Karkat has this Bleach/Deathnote rip-off thing going on, but I KINDA STOPPED CARING after a while. See? There's like three, four hands unfinished.
I started this just when AA was shown but I felt like depicting the Trolls we have a better understanding of. Maybe when they're all shown I'll add them in and make this half-decent, but probably not! I spent too much time half-assing this as it is!

Terezi and Karkat look like creepers in this! x3
I like it that way, though.

Tavros looks like he should be voiced by Norio Wakamoto.

Well "The Knight of Time" does sound like a Magical Knight kind of series, so it's not much of a stretch. I really like the shading on Dave's puppetsuit.

Dave seems to embody or at least project a lot of what anime cool guys are billed for these days, so I thought it'd be too easy (or on the other hand, too hard) to depict him as such. Since this was already far into ridiculous territory, it seemed I might as well go retro with him, and in the end all I could do was try to give him brown-tinted aviators.

But thanks! I have this unexplainable itch to do a photoshop of Dave just focusing on his plush suit. Like, make it all detailed, with the light hitting the stray fibers...I don't know what's wrong with me.

That might be an interesting experiment, but getting caught up in the details is a great way to completely lose your mind. @_@

Ha ha so true! I'll hazard a guess you're doing that with that LOHAC
3D rendering you've posted here before.

Actually in that case it's more the lack of details therein. Andrew tends to leave a lot to the imagination, which can be frustrating since I like precision and details.

I can relate to that, too. I'm working on the Knight pieces right now, but they're only partially shown in the WV: Rise Up flash, so I have to fill a lot of gaps myself.
Best of luck, eh?

And now I will always associate these characters with those archetypes. GC's face is about what I expected H3H3H3

I looked at it and thought "this looks like a parody of common anime styles", and then I read the comments... and it *is* a parody of anime stereotypes! You win, for sure. *thumbs up*

I will train myself every remaining of my damn life to be half as cool as anime Dave.

I meant "remaining day." That's what I get for trying to get the first comment on your amine picture.

That last typo was on purpose, however.
