Hunter, you do fantastic work! Are you familiar with the Earthdawn game setting (specifically, their races?) I've got a character I'd like to see you draw (and possibly a comissioned group pic if my group likes it -- do you do color pieces?).
Anway, on with the character description:
First, a general description of Earthdawn Trolls:
Physical Description: Trolls average almost nine feet tall and are massively built, with powerful muscles. They have curling horns like a ram which are the pride of every troll. Trolls banished from their clan have their horns sawed off, a mark of shame that lasts throughout the troll's life, since they never grow back. They have flat faces with beetled brows, wide noses and mouths, and short tusks that protrude over the upper lip. They often have rough, lumpy skin, deeply tanned from outdoor life. Troll hair tends to be long, and males often wear long beards as well. Their clothing has a rough charm to it, decorated with colorful patterns, crystals, gems, and precious metals. Trolls live longer than orks, but not as long as humans, usually about 50 years or so.
And now, Hagrim the troll:
Hagrim (or Grim as he prefers to be called these days) stands an imposing 9'1" tall, and his 650 pound frame is almost all muscle. He is very capable in a fight, and looks it. Numerous scars cover his body, and there is a nasty gash over his left eye, which is covered by a patch. One of his tusks is capped with an intricate silver design, and his head is crowned with mid-length, ragged white hair, which is odd, because Grim isn't that old, even for a troll. His skin is a light brown, but ashen, as though he was sickly. His taste in clothing runs toward the macabre, with his leather breastplate, bracers, boots, and pants dyed black, and the few metal pieces of his attire being some manner of stylized silver skull.
The two pieces of gear that stand out on him are his sword, the Crimson Cleaver, and his choker of skulls (if you are familiar with the setting, these are his patterned items). The sword is an ancient blade resembling a large two-handed machete. It's blade is knicked and scratched in numerous places, but it still holds a razor sharp edge. Starting halfway down the blade, and extending all the way to the tip, the blade ceases to be steel, and instead appears to the obsidian, seamlessly fused to the rest of the blade. The choker of skulls is a length of silver chain that looks like it could be worn as a bulky necklace as a human, but winds up fitting like a choker on Grim. Each link in the chain is carved with numerous skull designs.
