SciFi and Fantasy Art Troll Slayer by John D P Keane

Dwarves who have, or feel they have, had their honour disgraced will sometimes seek a way to redeem their honour and restore them to the status from which they feel they have fallen. They seek this through death. To die in battle against ones foes is the honourable death all Troll Slayers seek. As the name suggests, Troll Slayers seek to find ferocious beasts such as Trolls with whom they can engage in mortal combat and, if fortunate, die. Those that survive this strange lifestyle may some day return to the society from which they once came, but most will feel they have not fully atoned for their sins and move onto larger enemies, such as Giants. There are many things about this picture that I would like to change and one day if time permits, I may re-do this picture from scratch. 0.5mm mech pencil. (Warpstone Issue 5)

9 Jun 2006	Gully Dwarves Rule	Loading... *****This is a great picture!!! Artistic value is based on how well the artist puts forth his vision. Not yours!!!*
18 May 2007	Julien	Loading... mooooore slayaaas I'm such a big fan of them. the most intriguing partis the innitiation right. (from the book of grudges). they go to a twin mountain (i don't know the name anymore). in between these 2 mountain peaks is a brigde. they bring a lot of troll guts. and ty them to their legs and the bridge. now you go gues what they do . btw. what makes them stand out from ordinary dwarves is the fact that they are ALWAYS completely unarmored. even the most influential of slayers such as demon slayers are completely unarmored. (which gives them better speed and agility which makes them really valuable in battle.) nuf said they rock your socks of
25 Oct 2008	Duncan McFarlane	Loading... Great drawing. I wish someone made a trollslayer figure that looked like this - in proportion and with spiked hair rather than a huge mohawk that ends up looking like an 80s mullet on most figures. My only criticism is that his hammer’s head should maybe be a bit smaller - more like a medieval warhammer and less like a mallet
11 Feb 2009	Tyt	Loading... he looks like a ******, tattoos are gay and his hair look like tokyo hotel, slayers were ’heavily muscled’ in the first place. waste of time drawing this.
