Wood Troll

This is the wood troll, self-sculpted by my girlfriend! 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
