This one is for level_0 ...

So one day Gollum, who had traveled all over Australia many times, decided to take his new Norwegian friend Trolgar to meet the friendly native animals near their homes on the cliff. All the animals turned out to welcome Trolgar to the Aussie bush and posed for a group photo ...

level_0 - thank you; I don't know if I can keep up the story line. There is a 'prequel' if you want to check it out here ... viewtopic.php?f=11&t=11798&hilit=gollum

Anyway, here goes ... Trolgar's father is also on tour overseas and is visiting Japan. He has just sent back a photo with a couple of Japanese artifacts for Trolgar to check out ...

Pat - thank you; yes a story can come from everybody's life! Because this thread name is intended to engender a variety of image subjects, here is a snake brooch.

OMG: Your portraits are getting better and better, I'm just as impressed as Pat. fun thread in general, I hope for more troll adventures. Can't get too much of Scandinavian folklore!

Pat, level_0 and Anmal - thank you all very much. Your kind words provide the impetus for me to continue my learning of art in Gimp.

Anmal, the Troll leaders are meeting right now in their HQ, to see if more Scandinavian folklore is available :hehe

Impressive that even such primitive creatures as the trolls have headquarters like those. :hehe

Post subject:  Re: Time for something a bit different

Anmal - the buildings were once called Trump Towers but the Trolls changed 3 letters.

I do not know enough about Scandinavian folklore, so I have invented my own ;) ... after the meeting at HQ, two of the winged Trolls (Wallace and Grumpy) were summoned to visit Gimp Land and we can see them leaving Norway one early morning on an 'express cloud'!!

OMG, :wvy thank you for making me smile to start my day!
I love these trolls, I would like to meet them. ;)

The big grumpy one: :hehe You simply have to read my sims story when I've finished it! It shares a bit of a theme with some of the stuff you've posted lately... Anyway, Wallace and Grumpy heading off to GimpLand sounds dangerous. They're gonna turn the whole world to purple glass if we don't look out!
Level0: I think maybe you have met those trolls here on GC.

Level_0 thank you; and Anmal - thank you too, so when will your story be available? More to come on Trolls later.

Something a bit different ...
