Troll King...Last Update Before Finished Image...Feb.5.

Kathy forbid me to remove ‘one word’ of the title…Who am I, that I should fool with a woman who kicks sharks and gators in the butt?

Anyway, here’s the deal…It’s just after the aforementioned battle…The motely group is assembled in a raucous mood…They won…

The King however, being mad, is as ingracious a winner as he would be a poor loser, so he is engaged in a rant, waving a joint of some animal in his right hand, holding a huge, notched, and dripping axe in his left hand…
He is morbidly obese, covered in dirt, grease, and has a dirty coarse bandage with blood seeping through on his arm…An aged troll, advisor to this mad monarch stands by helplessly, his milky, scar-damaged right eye, as bereft of ability to fathom the scene as his good eye…In the foreground is a taboret, holding the ‘booty’, gemstones, gold, and mixed with it odds and ends, chicken bones and garbage…This is not a cultured assembly.

;)

Although it may not look like it, this is just the beginning of the detailing…Still to come: The ‘Grand-Vizier Troll’, the additions to the crowd to fit the perspective, the hallway, along with a surprise guest-star, Some vermin back in the rafters, Sloshing beer, Flying food chunks, The bodies and details for the ‘crowd’, Final lighting, and Post-production special effect detailing done entirely in ZBrush…
(I should mention that I decided against him holding his axe, as I think it would have made the area too ‘busy’…)

(Final coming very soon…) I’m having so much fun with this I don’t want to stop!!
:rolleyes:

I don’t know what ranks highest:

The storyline/discription of what is next to come.

The WIP itself.

OR

That title! I LOVE THAT TITLE!!

This is going to be a piece surpassing all others SC. I can see it.

~~ I am not worthy ~~ <o>

:smiley: :+1: :+1:

It’s like this whole- Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings- thing. Just read the book, can’t wait to see the movie :smiley:

I’m liking this right from the start. Great storyline Stonecutter :+1: :+1: :+1:

:smiley: drool… drool (not the troll king, that’s me for the next update - love the concept and what you did until now!)

You’ve promised tons of eye candy, and looking at what you have so far I can believe it. Really great WIP! Now stop wasting time reading posts and get back to painting. :smiley:

lols you too… cant wait to see the final image…

Nice cast of characters—I can see we have another winner on the way !!!

This is definitely a heads you win.
Dave.

I have added an update to the image…

Looking better and better each time --and the story and character descriptions are wonderful–this is really great --and the pepper grinders—I mean --Pillars–add a terrific touch–and the shadows below the characters–wonderful !! :+1: :+1: :+1: :+1:

This will be your most endearing piece yet.

Those columns add order to trollchaos. Pull color up, add balance…

sheesh…you are GOOOOOOOD! :+1:

Great going SC, I, like the others, eagerly await the next installment.

I still love all these trolls. It’s great how each one his its own personality. And those columns! Stunning work with a very ancient Egyptian feel to it.

looks like this hall (? court, anyway) of beauty is heading straight to the hall of fame! fantastico, Stonecutter! :+1: :+1: :+1:

:+1: :+1: The column tops are very good additions. And I’m still pretty partial to those little fellas. Looking forward to more on this one. :+1: :+1:

Sorry to be dragging this out, but here’s a ‘Motivational’ update…I’ve added the undetailed throne-back, and the Troll Kings’ head…There will be a major update by the weekend…The reason for all the delay, as stated with the updated image, is my reluctance to end my holidays!
(Note to self…Back to work, you lazy weasel!!! )

Stone,

I don’t know why but this work reminded me “Lord of The Rings” I don’t know why really :slight_smile: Maybe heads… Who knows?..

Waiting for the final image.

That’s a very unique design for the back of the throne. I’m looking forward to seeing what you’ve got in store for this weekend!

Neat picture stonecutter,I remember see this picture in more premature stages.Comming along nicely.Great pillars off in the distance.
