Bog Trolls!

Recently had the pleasure of creating some promotional art for Satyr Art Studios range of Troll miniatures, so here's some of the drawings:

Giant Two Headed Troll

Closing Time at the Hobbits Retreat.
Shroom Foraging with the Fungoid Trollkids

Domestic Slap! 


All the Bog Troll miniatures were designed and sculpted by Drew Williams. The characters are dug from a deep vein of oddball trollishness that runs through media ranging from the Old School Dungeons & Dragons stylings of Dave Trampiers seminal Wormy comic published in Dragon Magazine through BiL Sedgewicks classic Gobbeldigook  strips from White Dwarf, and Citadel Miniatures superlative Pre-slotta Warhammer C20 Trolls range and into the Games Workshop's dubiously riotous Gobbo range of boardgames.

As traditional, here are some hasty black and white photos of some raw chunks of metal blue-tacked together (all the Trollwives have separate heads). An Otherworld Miniatures NP41 Farmers Wife (also sculpted by Drew) is shown for scale - she stands at around 32mm, and is standing on a 20mm round base.

Trollkids
Trollkids are much larger than I'd expected, which is a pleasant suprise. From the 'Gook references I'd expected them to be about the size of an average Goblin, but these are hefty sprogs standing upright at about 25mm.
