Finished!

Grumpiest troll is essentially done, yay! \o/

The lighting in both of these is crap, but the place I took the pictures last time was occupied tonight, so I had to improvise.



Of the pictures I took of him from the front, the one with his arms tucked away turned out better. I'm still not entirely happy with his hair (I'm 100% going to have to figure out something better the next time I make one) but I wasted hours trying to find something that even sorta worked, so this is where it's gonna be. The fact that his eyes and teeth are outlined in crappy marker also bothers me, but I plan to pick up some black fabric paint sometime tomorrow (er, later today) which should help fix things. Other than that (and previous personal gripes), I'm pleased with him :)



You can't really see his horns too well from the front :/ I blame the hair again. His bangs/cowlicks are all felt, but the black in the back is crochet. I wanted to do it all either felt or crochet, but things did not work out that way :/

If you saw the previous pics, you should be able to tell that I had to detach his horns from where they were previously already stitched to his head. Not too difficult, thankfully. I also added another round to the bottom, or we probably wouldn't be able to see them at all behind his hair =_=


And now, we'll see if I can actually manage a self-imposed twenty-four-hour crochet break. After which, I've got two commissions for friends, which I can hopefully finish before I have to start the stuff for qldfloodauction. I may also sign up for helpbrazil2011, because I am apparently just that much of a masochist into making things for charity. I mean, I already feel guilty that I haven't signed up for it yet, and I just found out about it tonight - though I was expecting something as soon as I heard about the flooding and landslides there as well. Even if I do sign up, I'll probably still feel bad, because I don't think I can handle more than one more winning bidder, though I will feel less bad than if I don't sign up (yay, Catholic upbringing!). Sigh; maybe something awesome will happen and I'll get a windfall of cash to bid with instead/in addition...

Which reminds me; I need to bug the AI execs about that one thing some more. *commences plotting*

Edit: Thread for Help Brazil is up here. I couldn't bring myself to say "only one winner", sob sob :( I hope my various winners are understanding and flexible about time/deadlines and such; I don't want my hands to quit on me ;_;
