Have ...Bah, I took way too long to comment on this. Have you finished it yet? I like a pretty straight-on view rather than tilting, and I agree with Craig about beefing him up a bit. He looks more goblin-like to me right now, but maybe I just have preconceived notions of what trolls should look like :) I'm sure you'll make it a great painting!R Solowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01578895072074865656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4630063725012586262.post-39978261792422059932011-07-18T17:06:48.851-04:002011-07-18T17:06:48.851-04:00The woods here are so good.

I agree with Owen - if he's holding half a fish maybe he has the other half in his mouth or drooling down his chin. As for troll anatomy, who knows? I just want him to look a little bigger and stronger. Maybe just his arms. Here's a quick drawover that beefs up his arms and sort of "opens up" his position a little ...<br /><br />http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1192024/trollsketch-1craigdrawover.jpg<br /><br />Oh,I love his wet tail! I tried it coming out of his kilt instead of out from under.<br /><br />PS You showed your unicorn from behind and now the troll form behind too. Just something to think about. Lots of room for dynamic compositions with a basic front shot too.Craig Maherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15942366845132843332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4630063725012586262.post-604971374653161072011-07-15T16:40:37.942-04:002011-07-15T16:40:37.942-04:00This looks really nice!

As far as tilting the image I think you should probably put it between the regular image and the last image(tilted way to the left), so just tilted a bit to the left. I think the fish gets a bit lost with the leaves behind it, but you can probably fix that with your color choices. It might also be nice to see the troll with some food in it's mouth or something. Looking forward to see what you do with the colors, I know you always make them super interesting and surprising.Owen William Weberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10133898289261394088noreply@blogger.com
