Havesomefantrolls! HEY, TESOLO~

Long time, no finish! This is one of the last few bits n pieces left over from the TD2 prize list! Can you believe I still have to do some things? ...I made and ran the OCT back before I was able to work in the USA, so I had a LOT more free time than I do now as a real life functional adult TM who has to earn a living, ahaha. 

Despite that, I do fully plan to keep chipping away at these whenever I can. My art has improved since I started this comic, and it really shows wheeze. No matter, that just means the next things will be even BEETLE... I mean, BETTER. <3

Still working on TD2 ending stuff! Life has BEEn busy hoho, but I’m still really hype about making the ending pages<3

-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(?).

I couldn’t resist. Tes’ blood just looks like cheeto dust every time.
