A fun little image of my mountain troll-merchant character "Blackback" kicking back. This was done as a birthday card.

Like this one, but have to admit, when I first saw this, I thought this could be ALF's dad. lol Protect the cats.

Fantastic work Griatch! I love the way this is a fantasy character doing something mundane . By the way is Blackback from a comic book project of yours or something?

Thanks for the comments people! @Odinbc As a roleplaying character, the troll mechant's nice but can and will sell you anything. His grin was always intended to aim towards a used-car-salesman kind of vibe. So he'd likely sell you the vacation then join you on it.  @lylejk, Pat625 Heh, yes it's not the first time people have noted this character having a similarity to Alf. I didn't have Alf as a conscious inspiration for Blackback but in retrospect I agree there are similarities.@dinasset This G'MiC filter indeed works very well to bring out all the hair-strand details! @Artloader Thanks, glad you like it! Many of my pictures (and comics) relate to this theme actually - fantastic characters involved in what you might call "mundane" circumstances (or at least not overly heroic ones). There is so much fantasy art depicting grand epic scenes that it's fun to go for something less commonly covered. Blackback in particular is not from a comic project, he's a character I roleplayed in an online roleplaying (play-by-post) game some years back. Blackback the merchant troll, the (four-handed) Jester and the great Grey dragon (commonly recurring characters in my paintings) are all originally inspired by characters in roleplaying I've done over the years:

Haha this version of him is cute. I know he should be a scary monster but he's adorable. xD For some reason I think of Lilo and Stich for this. Like he's belong in that universe when he's painted in this style and context. Very nice. I love him. <3 xD |
