@bogleech IDK if you’re aware of this, but Tabaluga got a new animated movie a couple years back, and Arktos features prominently in it…. with a fucking METAL villain song segment all to himself!
Just… LOOK AT THIS shit. The dawning realization on Tabaluga’s face as he realizes “Oh shit, this is actually happening? This motherfucker’s actually doing this” going to “Oh Dragon Jesus this motherfucker’s series”. The detail on Arktos’ model, the little glimmering ice crystals along his form. His booming voice rising higher and higher as the lyrics get more and more intimidating with practically every line. The fact that his design is ever-so-slightly updated, but still fundamentally remains, well, a snowman in a top hat with zero major alterations - he looks so fucking GOOD!
And then you look up Arktos’ voice actor…
And it’s Ben Campbell, also known as the voice of King K Rool in Donkey Kong Country.
Yeah.THAT K. Rool.
I checked for this - the last voice arctor role that Campbell’s done was back in 2005′s Grossology. This man made his grand return to animation after an almost 15-year hiatus… to voice this mean snowman that sings a one-man death metal chorus about how he’s worse than Satan.
And honestly? I can’t imagine a better fit for the voice of Arktos. Just… what a fuckin’ world.
I had a few friends over and we each took turns drawing requests from Twitter, while under the (heavy) influence of alcohol. Also, we had a certain time limit for each drawing. Here are the results.
Hope you enjoy the vid, it was really fun to make lol
