Trolls – fat, hairy trolls!

It was doodle time tonight and the subject was trolls! I’ve got the roleplaying bug again which means exploring the characters & creatures around the fantasy lands – watching ’24′ was not reason enough to not doodle (although it did come close)!

Tonight’s doodles were mainly about trolls but there’s been many iterations of Orcs as well which I’ll upload as soon as I’m happy with the final result of them. I’m working out the different features and stature for the goblin type variations as well – goblins, hobgoblins, lesser and greater orcs.

In the following image, I’m heading towards the pot bellied, gorilla style stature and playing around with facial expressions, body hair and armour ideas.

Hopefully, I’ll be adding some digital paintings of trolls to the gallery in the near future as well.

Once again the Bic fine biro is the weapon of choice for the doodles – it doesn’t smudge as easily as pencil does – and it gets me concentrating on each line.
