You know, we need a troll in a nazi uniform. Just a thought.

someone clean this poor miserable bastard up

smaller filesize png8 version had ugly camo edges even with matte so leaving that out because it looked the same

Fucked around w/ it a bit, redrawing a bunch of the outline, and recolouring. I have it in larger sizes too, but downscaled to compare. Edit: Switched to a version with sleeve edited to be more similar.

Not sure how much I like the shadow position, but I was trying to keep it in the same place as the original.

Haba ,is not finished yet, I just want some feedback on the colors...also, did I got it right, is that really hair?

It looks pretty good. My personal feedback would be that I think the helmet should be red and gold instead of purely grey. Kinda like the helmet in Matt Barton JC's avatar.

He's overcompensating. :lol:

But I agree with you, problem is that MCA work is hard for unwashed peasants like me to understand, so I have no idea were his shirt should be ending...or where are his legs...

edit: better legs, removed suggestive protuberance at bottom of shirt
Perfect, it retains its original classic charm while updating it with modern anti-aliasing graphics.

The stain on his shirt is an important part of the troll too. It adds texture and makes it look more 3D.

Now he just looks fat and he's lost his stain.

cool, if that is what you're after I added the stain of personality back onto the latest body

yeah I know you pretty much have to compare them with separate browser tabs
basically left ear fixed a bit plus a bit more corner curves and thicker+aliased limbs

So if I'm colouring any other codex trolls should I add a stain for that too or not bother?

They are all done now, aren't they? Which one is missing?

All the user trolls are in a usable state. Takeda's could possibly look nice with some glow around the sign added though. I think Stinger offered to sort that out this weekend, but if anyone wants to, I'll send them higher res versions than what I posted in this thread, for ease of editing.

Aside from that, I think a few of the various non-specific trolls remain uncoloured, and apparently another batch is on the way. Not an urgent task by any means, but certainly fun practice.
