Description

About this character:
Old time folklore in the nordic countries talk of the trolls and how they used to live under the hills, just beyond human civilisation. Sometimes they traded with mankind, because the trolls had all the gold in the world, but humans made much better clothes and pretty things than trolls could do. Different stories accounts differently as to how the trolls looked. Some say they looked like monsterous things. Other stories suggest they looked very much like people, only with more hair and a tail. One story tells of the troll king's daugher one day going to the human market. She was a stunningly beautiful woman, but without her noticing it, her tail hung down from under her dress ...

Anyway, I took inspiration from this old story, creating a troll-girl going to a modern disco or party of some kind ... The subject is silly (she has quite an unrealistic body -- and no I'm not talking about her tail), and the result is so-so, but it was interesting to work in green like this so I'll put it up fro fun. :)

As usual I worked in GIMP for this one. Took way too long considering the rather mediocre result. Ah well.

I can't say there is anything mediocre about this green troll.
She is beautiful and I have always been one for contrast, dark against light and light against dark but you have done it all with hi-lighting the edges to make the colors blend. I have never seen anyone that can do hair the way you do. it is spectacular.
I think the expressions you give to your characters is your personal trademark.
You are a very taleneted artist Griatch and I hope you keep it up.
