30 mintues to proof-read...what a lot of uses you use 'At Last' for, when it should be 'Lastly' !!! :?

I think you actually wrote this whilst you started to drink alchohol, as in the beginning, minor changes were made, but got worse the further I got into it :roll:

OVERALL:
Brilliant job Bart, he really does look fantastic. A detailed description of how you painted him and very easy to follow due to the level of 'Step-By-Step' images provided.

I give you 9 out of 10 !!!

Reason being ...mines better (insert evil laugh) on reflection (maybe not) :(

Fantastic article, with great results. Probably one of the best Cave Trolls I've seen.


Only thing...

Thought Trolls didn't have toes?

:P

10/10! Fantastic article! 8) I'm amazed at just how many stages there were for his skin and the descriptions alongside make the process a whole lot easier to understand.

Loved the close up of the cave troll at the beginning aswell :rofl:

I loved your article and really appreciate the fine pictures. I gave it a 10/10. You've described what seems to be a reasonably "easy" way to paint up an awesome looking troll.

I'm curious, which book was it that you had as a reference. I'd love to get a closer peak at that.

If that troll ever wants to move house I have a cosy room waiting for him: former chamber of records, nowadays a bit dilapidated… but if he wouldn’t mind laying down that hammer for a moment and pick up a broom, removing some bones & rubble… I would love to have him cheering up my Moria models!

This is quality work, Bart! :yay:

The book showing the Troll on full-sized picture is "The Art of ... The Fellowship of the Ring"

I got all three of them (each movie has a book) and I think they are one of the most valluable sources of referention I have. Ebay and Amazon sell them pretty "cheap" these days...

I'll second that, I picked up the FotR book many moons ago, and think it a great insight into some of the creative decisions behind the movie.

Ok, Ok, I just like looking at all the pretty pictures...

:shock: This is fantastic, it resembles the cave Troll from the films perfectly and is by far among the best Cave Trolls I've ever seen. Great article too, once again, you have done a Fantastic job Bart!

Brilliant!

That's definitely one of the best cave trolls I've ever seen - possibly the best.

The article is organised very well and the pictures show the development of the painting excellently.

Well done indeed. :)

Nice Work Bart.

You've captured the true colours of the cave troll perfectly. I have five of my own to paint soon so I will definitely be using this article as reference.

I love that base too. Spot on!

Wow! :yay: This is a very angry looking Cave-troll! The scales, the hammer, the chain and the finishing of the base are beautiful! Nice teeth too, but they look like they are in need of a good polishing! :rofl:

I just read this for the first time and it is a damned fine article. I will use it when it comes to painting my trolls.

The pictures alone would get a 10/10, and the writing pushes it up to 11! By far the best cave troll I've ever seen, and I'm sure u'll treasure it. Great Job!
