Also, something related to my signature, plz.

Tried angling the eyes a bit but I realised it wasn't enough so I tilted the whole body as well:

Hope Chris doesn't mind me messing around this much.

Bro, you'll hear him coming because he'll kill me first. I altered the outline quite a bit before coloring in.

I like the tilting of the body, since tilting the eyes alone enough tends to just make it look weird. Not sure what to think of the light. The idea is great, but in practice it sometimes just looks a little odd. Sometimes just looks like a stripe of brightness on the troll, not light shining from the monitor.

Let's compare:

Let's compare:

While you were doing that, I made one with just the eyes and body tilted as well (starting from the high-res initial colour-in), so now we have 3. I think I tilted the eyes back a little further, not sure whether that's better or not.

Kaisering. I allowed myself to rape MCA's artistic integrity and add a tiny (but important) detail. To make it true to one of these infamous pictures floating around.

We need a "butthurt" troll. And my initials are "wwo" if he wants to include that somewhere as tribute to my greatness, preferably somewhere on a man-thong.

We do:

 

[DraQ]

How about some white light on the troll's face an shirt?

dimmer light:

How about a subtle projection of goatse?

I know that monitors don't work this way, but it would fit.

But now the text doesn't work.

^I don't get it.

EDIT: other than being a cynical remark, that is

 

[MaskedMan]

Hm, maybe the codex will outlive Obsidian? :interesting:

 

[Darth Roxor]

it's probably about the wasteland statue

It does, the text fits either way.

setting out with optimism I tried overlaying a cropped screenshot of our fine GRPG forum topic index

as you can see even with mostly text applied lightly the fine detail doesn't work well with the stylised cartoon style

a picture would jar even more with the expression on the troll's face

my current idea : maybe some drawbro would like to do some monitor-lit MHD tentacles coming out of the screen

 

[DraQ]

Approved.

Approved.

Quick and dirty:

Like this?

 

[Zed]

jesus. just draw an entirely new one if you're gonna change it so much.

I'm sorry your honor, but she was already laid out in the alley half naked and unconscious. What was I supposed to do?

 

[Zed]

well if you're gonna change it so much, you might as well make him tilt more

 

[LundB]

jesus. just draw an entirely new one if you're gonna change it so much.

This. Even with this one:

I added more tilt to the eyes and body, as well as the colouring and fixing up some stuff with the outline. In other words, even the coloured troll people are using as a base for further edits is changed quite a bit from the MCA version.

Once you change it much more, it can barely be called an MCA troll. His drawing gets the point across, the troll is pretty clearly recoiling in horror.

Oh, and though I prefer the slightly less extreme layback, that could very well be personal bias, so here's a version of Zed's with a transparent background:

 

[WhiskeyWolf]

Has someone said 'artistic integrity' ?

 

[LundB]

Has someone said 'artistic integrity' ?

Yes, someone did a few pages back I think.

Well, it's time to dust it off.
