Description 'Troll beads for Mother's Day!'
'Troll beads for Mother's Day!'
'Troll beads for Mother's Day!'

After about the third such radio commercial, I actually paid attention enough to say 'Are they saying troll beads?'

I didn't know trolls gave each other beads for Mother's Day.

Sadly (on my part) it took a conversation with a (male) friend to find out that troll beads were actually a thing. I don't know why they call them that, but by that time I already had this picture 3/4 drawn.

If anyone's paying attention, the guy is Ehwaz, my cellphone chatting troll from [link]
The trollop is Inguz, a grown-up version of this little girl [link]

Look like that other horn finally came in, but not very well. She's still wearing pink and yellow, too. I totally forgot I had her in those colors. XP Oh well; it looks like her troll hubby doesn't mind the lopsided horn or unchanging favorite colors.

Happy Mother's Day!

^^ I thought since she liked her little horse so much maybe she could learn to make them and her hubby could wear the necklace as a symbol of his devotion.

I planted raspberries and strung fence for my mom, then got her a card, a bouquet and I made chocolate-covered strawberries.

Mom loved my gift, but my douchebag asshat brother ruined her holiday. I should hit him with a wrench, but he's not worth the jail time.

'Hit him with a wrench' is a figure of speech. XD

Aw, I love her expression~ The colours are lovely too~
The size difference is interesting- I guess it makes sense, different breeds/types of trolls... I quite like it actually~
Curious about her horns though- in her childhood picture- one horn? Here, two? Did it grow back?
And their angle is- a bit odd? Maybe it's the perspective/hair throwing my off... I dunno
Still, a lovely pic ;3
lol, never heard of Troll Beads- but my mother had a necklace like that~ once upon a time- I broke it steal the beads at one points XDD She never wore it anyway~~~ ;D

Well, it has less to do with different Types of trolls than it does Ehwaz is just a really big guy. He even dwarfs the other male troll in the metro pic.

Inguz's horns didn't grow in evenly. When she was little, she only had one and endured a certain amount of teasing about it. Her other horn eventually grew in, but not very well. It stayed stunted and small. Her head is tilted slightly, but with the warped horn throwing off the perspecitve they do look a little wonky. And since she has one *really* wonky horn, maybe they both are angled a little weird.

Ah, I see~ When I think of trolls, I think of hundreds of different types- leading into gargoyels and such... X3

~ that's cool- I'm so used to seeing horns- that follow the line of the skull perfectly- so it's unusual seeing anything different~ I'd be curious to see her horns straight on, to judge them- it's a bit hard from this angle.

There actually are supposed to be hundreds of kinds of trolls, but I just didn't have that in mind when I drew this. I've poked at a story for this group of trolls, but I haven't had the time to sit down and type anything.
