Well, the first thing that struck me is that it looks like a combination between, a Xenomorph and Shelob, so Shemorph or xenolob. But after closer consideration I've landed on the nickname 'Maggie the Monster Maggot'.

Also, the fact that it looks like a tick makes it like 100 x more sinister.

I'm just so mesmerized by that box thing in the bottom left corner because it has this sublime, probably unintentional resemblance to a painting of an icy bog in winter fog :0

The whole team's demented!

Typical office people, always sassing.

Old world reagents, eh?


Good luck getting anyone to understand why this is valuable enough to bring back. "Reagent? That's the thing you mix with rea'ladies to make sciency stuff happen right?"

Considering that's a canister of hydrogen cyanide there I guess we'll just have to explain it away as 'troll poison'. Or, I suppose, just plain old 'poison'.

I wonder if now would be a good time to start pondering a trollsona for myself, because if Julian survives this encounter he sure as hell won't be in the same shape afterwards :D

Or he could just put his money where his mouth is and lob the entire can of troll-away into its maw.

SectoBoss: man, you found the Easter egg part quick. :D Then again I guess any chemist would go for the label first (unlike one of my goldsmithing professors who preferred to taste-test unknown substances... famous quotes include f.ex. "If you aren't sure whether it's cyanide or not you can try tasting it. But just a little bit.")(We never did.) so... he could still have a chance

(Looks like someone's going to get eaten pretty quick....)

It just struck me this is a strange way of giving gifts to friends: "Look I painted your ssssona maybe about to die in a horrible way!" :-\

Also, the fact that it looks like a tick makes it like 100 x more sinister.

O.O
It... does... EWEWEWEW. EW.
Well done, you just thoroughly creeped me out using my own art!

I'm just so mesmerized by that box thing in the bottom left corner because it has this sublime, probably unintentional resemblance to a painting of an icy bog in winter fog :0

Hahahahah this is just as unintentional as the tick-like appearance of the troll, a result of splash-n-splash painting style. Now that you mention it though, I can kind of see it too. :D

A few days ago SomeBody made a request that people should draw more trolls and I'm always happy to do just that, so here you are! I've no idea what your ssssona is doing in the Silent World or why he's out of his lab coat for once, but no sudden movements now.

the sound effect is MUHUHUhahaHAHAha, but I can't quite figure out which character is meant to emit it.  Love it!

*listens to echo*
Maybe in light of Onni's mutilation, I could make like Van Gogh & paint a self-portrait as well? Not likely, but could be funny. Quoth the sundry Madsens past & present, "I thought so too."

And now I have done. I found myself with some time to kill, and an art bag by my side.  So this is Helle-Mai as Onni / Van Gogh. *shrugs*

I had the most boring, uneventful day of all year today and times like that all kinds of weird stuff starts happening. This time I randomly started to think of a card I once painted for Yuuago where the Lauftroll yoinks whatever story he's been writing (likely something shippy) - and then I realized the troll made a crucial mistake. It really can't see much... how would it ever find out what's written in there? Someone would obviously have to read the story for it.

After this no real effort was seen for anything, sorry about the art quality and scan quality and and... well, sorry for everything. :D








Um, happy ending?

(Reminds me I made myself tea ages ago and I bet it's still sitting there forgotten at the kitchen table.)

Goodbye friends, I am gone. 'twas Laufey what killed me. : D

On the one hand, I wouldn't wish boring days on you. On the other, if they result in delightfully ridiculous things like this, well....

(Now that I'm thinking on the subject, unlike my actual self, if my ssssona attempted writing romance fiction, the results would probably be... pretty terrible. I'm imagining a lot of purple prose. : D But then again maybe not)

Well great, now I'm dead again.
Will Thranduil ever get to publish his work? The world may never know. But I think this is the first ever picture where Lauftroll in its entirety is visible, so ... Canon size confirmed?

No worries, it's like a dinosaur. Standing still and staying silent is exponentially more effective.
