-Time for some Trolldown2 OCT prize artwork!
I was going to put these on DA first and then cross-post from there, but then I couldn’t have put them together as an image set, and they just look so nice like this<3
These are the semifinalist full-figure-colour prizes for punkfloral (Guinna Rigare, top) and havesomefantrolls (Tesolo Pulvis, bottom). Note: the constellations in the background are not specifically related to the trolls or their symbols or anything like that, but they DO have meaning to them!
Guinna has the constellation Circinius behind her- it’s a faint, rarely mentioned constellation that represents a compass. For Guinna, her struggle with finding direction in life and balance between right and wrong is apparent.
Tesolo is shown with the constellation Cepheus- Representing the king from the greek tale of Perseus who tried to placate the anger of Poseidon by offering up his daughter to a sea monster. He was also one of the mighty and heroic argonauts though... I suppose perspective is important, and sometimes you have to make sacrifices(?).
