Notes from the Archivist:
In case you haven’t noticed, there hasn’t been much in the way of news about the Avalon: Web of Magic animated series. The voyager.world Instagram account hasn’t updated since September, a direct message I sent on Instagram hasn’t been answered yet, and both the voyager.world and official Avalon websites have been down since mid- or late October. (The former has a Javascript error; the latter is completely blank.)
I was afraid that production suddenly stopped without warning, which is (sadly) fairly typical with this series. Luckily, Minds Eye Entertainment (one of the production companies attached to the project) posted some new images recently, which I’m sharing here today. (If you follow me on tumblr, you probably saw them already.) These were originally uploaded sometime in late October, but I didn’t find them until last week because I only check the producers’ sites once a month. I guess I should browse them more often!
Comments on the new production images:
- I hate the poster, mostly because of the way Kara looks. She looks exactly the same as she did in the final character design that was revealed in September. It’s nice to see the characters in context, though. And seeing Avalon in the background is pretty awesome, too!
- The official character sheet has awesome concept art for the mages’ magic jewels. I’m not a fan of the Wolf Stone’s design, but I like the bracelet.
- Oh god I can’t stand Ozzie’s design. Neck: too long. General design: too cartoonish. Personally, I’d prefer if he looked more like a ferret. Also, note that his Ferret Stone is now called an Elf Stone, and that his character bio is slightly spoilerish (he doesn’t get his stone or become a Knight of the Circle until halfway through the books). I appreciate that his Knight of the Circle title is finally explained. It was originally only available in the original series’ glossary online; the new series never touched upon it.
- The Lyra and Stormbringer bios are lifted straight from The Warlock Diaries.
