Happy Halloween - Hostile Trolls



Happy Halloween everyone! So this seems to be the perfect combination: halloween and hostile trolls. The character design challange over the past two weeks has been hostile trolls. Given the time of year, it seemed like a perfect oppurtunity to cross some boundries, throw taste out the window, and possibly see how some trolls would interact with some trick out treaters.

Other hostile trolls from my good troll friend:

Unbelievable! Before you die, you have to design a side-scrolling video game like that second image, it seems so simple, dark, exaggerated, and active!

HaHa - I think that troll should go after kids trick-or-treating past 10:30!

I know this isn't the correct place to write you, but I don't have your email address. I'm an artist/character designer, working on my masters, and am seeking a background artist to help me this up coming Spring semester on a one on one class. Would you be interested or know some people I can contact?


Sorry this is a lame attempt to get in touch with you. Hope your wedding is awesome! Congrats in advance! respond to my email address.
