Troll Martini

Did a quick set of three 8 x 10 watercolors for the Con as well, of various trollish types. A friend thought they were demonic--horns and hooves and all--but I was quite convinced they were trolls. They just look goat-like. Trolls have a longstanding animosity for goats--"Who's that trip-trapping across my bridge!?"--and this led me to think that perhaps trolls are related to goats, since it seems a lot more plausible to me that your relatives would make you insane than some random hooved mammal, however ecologically destructive it might be. What if trolls evolved from goats? Or--no--better yet--what if goats evolved from trolls? Or were domesticated from trolls by human shepherds? And the trolls despise their domesticated cousins as a disgrace to the once-proud troll race, (much as I assume wolves would despise Chihuahuas if they ever gave them much thought) and eat them at every opportunity.

When they're not drinking martinis, of course.
