Antagonists are usually as legendary as protagonists in some stories.
I haven’t drawn any mean characters yet. Really, I’ve been focused on creating work that is pleasant and soothing and celebrates children. However, it occurred to me that if I want to illustrate a story for a book maybe I should draw a mean character or two…since books almost always have an antagonist! I’ve been thinking about this Troll for quite some time, and it seemed appropriate to sketch him for this week’s IF. For my first ‘meany’, he might need some work, as he looks part Witch, part hunchback of Notre Dame, part Troll…but I think whatever this character is, he fits well into an antagonist role. I am pleased for now!

Arggggg! Love that snaggle tooth! I think it's fantastic that he looks part troll, part hunchback, part witch. Now you've got your own unique evil dude, like all the evil entities bred together to produce the ultimate evil incarnate. :D

Have a great weekend!!

oooh... he'll be a wonderful portfolio addition! Everyone needs a mean old troll!
Really great! loving the mouse too :)
I love the simple color and your line work!
nice work. a very brave mouse.
Looks like one of my relatives... he he. Works well as a finished illustration-- would make a good coloring page as line art, too.
Ewwww, I like his grey skin!
Love it! Thanks for visiting my blog too! I am really excited about IF and can't wait to meet more of the talented artists like yourself on the site!

He's wonderfully creepy. I thought hunchback rather than troll though. Good idea--I hadn't thought of practicing bad guys either.
hahaha,clever take on the theme!
Hee heee, great twist on the theme! This meanie has a great balance between being a villain and yet not too scary for kids. Perfect for a children's book, eh? Great job!
