The Beast - Troll Trinket Collector - FINISHED
hero character
Troll Trinket Collector
Trolls are slow learners and honestly not that smart to begin with, but with time they can learn. As they age they turn from beast to manlike. The Trinket Collector is one of the oldest trolls around, his intelligence and emotional maturity could rival that of a human child.
Most trolls has a soft spot for shiny and beautiful objects. Like giant magpies they steal and kill to get what they want.
But the Trinket Collector is different. You usually find him along one of the many forest paths. and if you do; you might consider yourself lucky, or dead, depending on the situation.
If you please him with a shiny gift he might offer protection from the many beast and robbers in the woods, if not, he might just kill you himself.
So one thing is for sure, you should always travel with something shiny in your pocket.

just exploring the character. Im not feeling ready for a "final" design just yet though.
I always dig your designs.
getting some props going, and editing a timelapse video thingie to show my progress. gonna try to record the process of this whole thing if I can.
@Intervain, @fantasymaster, @pokinski, @duncan, @MKAH, @Tadow - thanks you guys! glad yo like it so far
@octokitty - well im kinda obsessing about keeping my sculpts" clean", so thank you for noticiing

I really dig your base mesh...... Might have to create something like that for myownself.
more please.
@duncan - you should, it helps a lot with the first 10-20% of the character.
OK, this is a small update, mostly just cleaning up some stuff and adding some props here and there. cant wait until I get into the fun stuff doing actual sculpting, but Im a firm believer that a good base is vital to a good sculpt. I also wanna go over some of the proportions, making the design a bit more interesting.
and here are two more videos, I dont know if anyone is watching expect Duncan, but im gonna keep posting em anyway =P
Pouch
Blockout Part II
here is a quick update, almost done with the blockout, really wanna get into some sculpting and detail work soon.
making some bag details, not that interesting really, dont watch it =P next one is gonna be fun though, doing some actual sculpting!
I really need to speed things up, feel like Im slacking behind : / anyways, did some actual sculpting this time, so I feel a bit better : )
and here is the weekly VIDEO. Covering the detailing and sculpting of the bag, next week im doing the rest of the body.
yeah well still you seems ahead of me ^_^"
Really like the concept !
------> Turnaround if anyone is interested. and a GIF version
Im working on him 24/7 atm to get him done! so Im probably not gonna do much more progress shots now, wanted to record the texturing too but I honestly dont feel I have the time for it atm, but the Retop timelapse is up on youtube now at least.
Here is a quick screen grab from Marmoset, WIP shot of the textures, still have a lot of small detail I wanna add but this is the directing Im goin for, so very stylized indeed.
My fav entry for sure
Keep it up!
Looking great dude!

My only crit would be that the pose looks simple, I guess you didn't have much time at the end, it still works though, but it would be great to see him express more, I hope you do that for your portfolio!
Such a cute and clean character, congrats!
Good luck!
