SPEEDPAINTING CHALLENGE nr. 31 - Troll

Michael · 04-09-2005, 10:33 PM

This weeks challenge will be to desing a troll.

It can be based on the reference - like Potter movie, LotR movie and the books, fantasy books BUT I'd rather you be original.
Trolls looks is different everywhere mentioned above. But it follows guidelines - it needs to be big, strong, aggressive, but rather slow and stupid. So I want you to put a human outline next to the finished piece to set the scale.

RULES

Follow the guidelines. They are general, but they are here, so respect them. If not...

Have fun.

Is this "something non-organic"? Btw. This one is pretty easy.
See here a troll design This one was bassed on a real troll

a person who´s a forum troll and a big, strong, slow and idiot man.

This troll is pretty nice, but I can't tell whose caricature is this.

What do you mean by "Is this "something non-organic"?"?

Ooh... forgot about it.

Alright. I've been gone all summer... which makes no sense, since that's when I should have had all the neccessary free time. Anyways, instead of going to bed I started these sketches. I'm horrible at characters/organics so when this guy actually started to take shape, I couldn't just stop and go to bed. The problem is, I'm not sure I can finish/recreate this. I fear it might be one of those pseudo-flukes that I just invented. (1-2 times a year or less you exceed your own abilities on a single creative endeavor) I'm horrible at drawing people but I've done 2-3 good drawings in my lifetime, seemingly out of nowhere.

Anyways, that's what I've got so far. [edit: This is after about 30-45 minutes. Also check out that Gorrilla-Orc I accidentally discovered in the creation process] My troll is still big, strong, and stupid but not all meaty. Sort of a tall, lanky, country troll. Childhood stories of trolls under bridges don't give me the same image of a troll as LOTR portrays.

Somebody force me to finish this and make an entry. ...and let me borrow the skill to do it well.

BuffDady81 · 05-09-2005, 04:30 PM

Ok... So maybe i went overboard with the size of the troll but I started to draw to big and i didnt want to make him smaller so that i could fit his whole body in as i lost all the detail and would have taking me ages to do the whole lot like this.

45 minute's drawing and 1 hr coloring in. - Used Photoshop and a pen tablet.

Undertow · 05-09-2005, 04:41 PM

Havent entered in one for a while so i thought i;'d give it a try. Took about 45minutes or so, sorry its not to great or extremely trollish

its based of a tool poster

Icefreak · 05-09-2005, 05:00 PM

Ok. Let's do this!

BuffDady81 · 05-09-2005, 06:06 PM

Like The image of the figure in the water, doesn't look very troll like, like you say but i suppose its how you interpret it, at least its different. I really like the use of colour and shading, really nice image!

chainface · 05-09-2005, 06:52 PM

BuffDady81 · 05-09-2005, 07:06 PM

chainface · 05-09-2005, 07:10 PM

Right this'l hiddy do for now...

My first wee attempt, about an 45mins to an hour.

Pencilly sketch then a wee tad of photoshop.

chainface · 05-09-2005, 07:14 PM

BTW...cheers Buff!

Michael · 05-09-2005, 10:26 PM

Undertow - ummm.... I suggest you paint another entry. It doesn't fell big, aggressive nor stupid... and there's no scale comparison here...

Chainface - welcome to the forums. Nice entry

I like the quicky feel to it. Nice wet skin

BuffDaddy - not bad at all

It could use some shading, bit it's pretty cool.

I ripped a bit of time from my schedule to make this one ( about 4 hours ), a bit of anatomy mistakes ( BTW - MY ENTRY IS NOT VOTEABLE ) :
