Artist's Comments

"While common knowledge that trolls live under bridges, it is relatively unknown that many of them suffer from social issues and a general feeling of unacceptance. This particular troll is pushed to his breaking point by graffiti artists..... graffiti artists who have the NERVE to deface his clearly labeled Troll Bridge to that of.... Dull Bridge.

To this day, the troll has taken a fondness for bad poetry, moody lyrics, and tattered band label clothing. He can often be found sitting on a near by rock, staring off into the distance - crying."


This was my entry for the CG Society "Strange Behavior" challenge. I figured an emo Troll would be fairly strange behavior.....


Photoshop 7, an unknown amount of time, it was off and on for months during what little spare time I had. Probably shoulda spent more time on it really, the standard was pretty high for that competition. But oh well, at least it's fun!

Child-eating as a compulsive behavior among socially-outcast trolls... seems plausible.

Love this! The troll is rendered really well. Love the lighting and texture aound the face area, really makes it pop out from the background which is good
:iconkomikino:
I think he's crying because of the mohawk!

I really like this piece over all, and I think you're doing much better at capturing important details. One discrepancy I see is from an atmospheric look of things. It's actually quite hard to tell if the troll is super super huge, or if the bridge is actually in the background at a great distance. If the troll is actually huge, then you've done a great job. If you want the bridge put back in the distance a little bit, I'd suggest lightening and desaturating the the colors of the bridge and mountains even more so to really emphasize depth.

Great job :D!!

Not all that are dice have six sides.

I placed up the initial speedpaint/sketch months back, it most likely resides in the scraps gallery right now.

Glad you like it!

That is a bit shifty I guess, thanks for the feedback :)
