I did some various things on the movie Trolljegeren - The Troll Hunter; I contributed to the story and worked on the script for about six months, until illness made me give it completely over to André the director. Then when I came back about a year later I worked on basic concepts for the creatures, some scenographic decoration in the characters trailer, a notebook he has (not the actual newspaper articles), and a bunch of other stuff that wasn´t used.
I thought I´d post some of the troll designs that made it into the film.
Here´s the Tusseladd, who has three heads. The challenge here was to think of how three heads might actually work in real life, with three spines and such, and also how a 1000-year old creature would look. I don´t suppose going a 1000 years without breaking a leg or whatnot is actually possible.
I was then told to do a more toned down and "nicer" version of it, without the twitch in the leg and give him more hair and such. The heads are also a tad more cartoony and proportionally a bit larger than the first one.
Head over to Storm Studios to check the final result... or watch the movie!
