Description
Once upon a time there was an old troll, named Goliath.He lived all by himself in an old part of a deep forest.
Nothing ever happens here, so life can get pretty boring at times.
Even for a troll.
But one day Goliath heard a strange bird's whistling not so far away.
Goliath turned towards the sound and spotted a creature he never seen before... at least not what he can remember.
The creature was a lot smaller than him, it had two legs, two arms, one strange shaped body made out of hard metal rocks, a lot of clothing beneath it and it walked straight up like it had a stick up it's backside.
Was that thing making those whistle noises?
Curious as Goliath's nature have made him, he started to follow the little strange creature. What on earth could it be?
Rob Noland: Finally!! This one took me forever.
I only worked on it a little now and then, but today I finished it. Woh!
God how wonderful! I feel... freeeee!
Also, I like how the artwork turned out in the end.
I hope people are going to like it as well and the little short story I wrote about it.
Now, I'm gonna... get some... sleep and... God night. ~thud~ ... *snore*

The drawing of the troll reminds me of the stories I was told in my youth. Ahh, grand picture to suit such loved memories. Love the way Goliath is thinking as he follows the unsuspecting (you?) human (your persona, I'm guessing).

That person is my head character Marada Dowark from my tale.
He's been through a lot but enjoys the life he's living now.
New friends, new things to discover and stuff. He's a real adventurer in his ways.
Not at all like me who sits on his desk all day. Getting fat. 
So no, that's not that much me. But he is a part of me, though.
Like every character I've created.
The Goliath that follows him is just curious about a new discovery of mankind.
After all... we are not like the other animals.

Of course! I'm nothing like my characters, who have morals and things to keep them going, whether fighting to protect a village, or studying herbs and plants, to blowing up a village accidentally.
But, yes, they are a part of us. I agree with you on that.
Just as I am curious as to how you came up with such wondrous things as such. Don't suppose you did any Roleplaying or table top gaming before? Such as Dungeons and Dragons? I'm a GM of sorts, and I've taught my players, with "subtle" hints (more like an instant of having gotten stuck in a room with a deranged Iron Golem) to expect the unexpected and the first rule of Paranoia, "When you think that you might be safe, you most likely are not."
Keep up the great works from that mind of yours!

I'll try.
And I'm not that much for roleplaying games.
Not that I don't like it, but because I'm to lazy to learn how to play.
Thank you.

O_o; f-fick en skum känsla i ryggen när jag såg stenarna sticka ut från Goliath's rygg som om dem var intryckta eller nåt -hurv-
men det är en myskig känsla i bilden med mjuka färger ^^ bra gort!

Hel kul att du gillar den. Tack. ^^

Så söt. Jag älskar hur mycket du har varit inspirerad av John Bauers troll. Jätte kul liten scen.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Tack. ^^
Ja, John Bauers troll har alltid imponerat på mig ända sedan jag var liten, så det var väl bara naturligt att jag använde av hans stil nu när jag kan teckna själv.
Det känns faktist rätt lyckat att folk känner igen Bauers troll i Goliaths design.
En "design accomplish" känsla helt enkelt.

Åh vad kul att gå i skogen och få en sån stalker.
But really, superawsome.

Nej, Marada anar inget.
Hans grupp har satt upp läger i närheten och Marada ville utforska området efter vatten och mat.
Skogen var så fridfull att han visslade högt och lade inte märke till de tunga steg som gick efter honom.
Ingen kommer bli skadad i denna scen. No worries.
Rätt kul bild ide tyckte jag från början så det var bara börja sketcha.

haha aha XD stackarn om han vänder sig om skiter han väl på sig
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Han får väl skylla sig själv för att han lade ner sin guard.
Men ändå... troll utstrålar inte så mycket närvaro och därav har inte många sett dem.
Kanske vi också haft en sån efter oss på skogspromenader nån gång.

omg Oo jag kanske har en sån efter mej varje dag när jag e ute och lullar i skogen D8

Och en dag... kommer han äta upp din cyckel.

Oo oh noo! den får han itne äta upp

I wonder what his face is gonna be like once he turns around xD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hopefully he's not armed if he does that.
But I can tell you now.
Marada never saw him in this scene and Goliath have other things to do, like looking for food himself.

Never sneak up on a soldier guy. o_o
A surprised soldier is a dangerous soldier.

I know what you mean, always be careful, especially if the guy is called Barry Burton...
