This is a re-furbishment of an old image of mine from 2006. The old one had strange croppings of the top of her head and feet, and I was never fully satisfied with it. This was the very first image I did in the "... of Trolls" series with the green-skinned troll-girl. I didn't plan it to be a recurring character, but she got so popular in some circles that I got into doing several more images of her over the years.

That's great work! I especially like the details on her clothing.

For whatever reason, with her standing in front of the ``green screen'', I have a mental image of her presenting the daily weather.

Love the facial expression, made me smile, too. Even though the teeth sort of made me take a step back. <wink>

Same here. She's adorable! I love the bracelets around her tail. I like all that green. Green is my favorite color.

This is a very nice piece Griatch.
I love the lighting and texture in this one.And she is quite beautiful for a green troll! ;)

Definitely like this result Griatch. Her smile made me smile for whatever reason. :)

Really beautiful! Cute expression. Nice overall feeling.

Small tip, Griatch: you can twist texture with the new Cage tool. Hip and thigh area texture is a bit too straight. It could curve along anatomy, now that we have tool for such finesse...

But really wonderful image as it is.

On the dress, there are points at which you can see some of her skin underneath, wouldn't this usually be at areas where it would be stretched,
Such as the front of her shoulders because her arms are up?

I would like to meet her, although I'm sure my wife would veto it. There's something about green women, I guess that's why I liked the old star treks.

You have a point there, I'd probably try iwarp though. Haven't tried the cage tool, not using the dev version in production yet. :)

It is fine image, don't worry. Also IWarp is fine, I just like Cage too.

You're much wiser than I. I have very exotic compilations of Gimp, Mypaint and Blender. (Actually I have at least 4 working versions of Blender...) I just hope I'm not building Skynet accidentally... :rofl
