This is number 12 in the 29 Faces in May challenge. She is a River Troll and is inspired by a piece of writing by New Pillow Book. The words in turn are inspired by a photo that is part of a challenge for the Friday Fictioneers. Please pop over to New Pillow Book to her post “Lunacy” to find out a bit more.
I did a little bit of Troll research and discovered that not all are ugly, mean creatures. Some are beautiful and human like, and lure humans into their lair. But the physical descriptions of most had large noses and big ears. She’s not your standard beauty but I think she has a certain allure.

Ziggy, she’s wonderful! And very troll-like. THANK YOU.

You are most welcome. She wouldn’t have existed if it weren’t for you. I’ll be keeping my eyes peeled for this Friday’s fiction….no pressure.

Never mind the nose and the ears.. that’s some serious eyebrows!

I contemplated a mono-brow but thought she deserved a little femininity.

As a fellow “make a finished drawing every day” cartoonist, I am very much enjoying your 29 Faces in May posts. I think you are very brave to post them all– I am either shyer or more of a coward, and only post my favorite once a week.

Hello Pam. I am so pleased I found your blog(s). It was the word “dragon” that lured me in. Your sketches and ink work are fab.
I’m not brave, just a bit bonkers.

That was a girl? At first glance i thought it an Asiatic boy. Oh well

Not a girl Hansi…a female troll. There’s a world of difference
