Hi folks

after many days of intensive painting, here you are the fantastic wood troll, self-sculpted by my girlfriend!

But first... two words about this piece

This time my intent was to recreate the "habitat" of this troll, so I started to think about a possible forest where i could live:
- damp mud everywhere
- spiked and dangerous trees and branches
- dangers in every corner
- sunlight obscured by higher tree's foliage (so very very dark)
- venomous snakes and mushrooms all around

with a similar scene, I want to create something very very particular, so I decided to base my paintjob on the strong contrast between red and green:

the troll, bcause it's in HIS habitat, had to "camouflage" itself, so I used a very restricted palette of colours

for the mushrooms, on the contrary, I used a very coloured red, to increase the idea of venomous

ok.. that's the pics
