Troll Martiniby `ursulav

Traditional Art / Paintings / Fantasy

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.

Watercolor, 8 x 10, original sold, prints available, drop a note or visit [link] for details.

Looks good, like the color pallet, and the design. They look both sort of cute and sort of monstrous, and I like it.

Uh...maybe. Who's Derek Thompson? Do you have any links?

`ursulav Aug 3, 2004

Dude. That's...creepy. No, definitely not something I'd run into before, but thanks for the link!

~andsoitburns Aug 3, 2004

haha no problem, i just was looking at his new stuff and then i saw your submission and was like wow they got a lot of the same stuff going on. its cool though because you both have different styles enough to tell one from the other.
