I wanted to try and capture the sense of devious malevolence that is clearly redolent in this Troll. To do that I opted for strong directional lighting. This would mean dark shadows to aid the mood, and by choosing the green light I am visualling signalling that something less than good is at hand.
The closer crop on the figure, and static, almost profile, form further helps give the sense of a quiet, composed, moment as the cogs begin to whirr!

Thanks. It is all interesting what viewers pick up on

There is no uniform composite centre from for divisibilities. Work is not collected in a single whole. Identical light in different parts of work breaks it into fragments.

Thanks for the further explanation. I don't entirely agree; I think the strong underlighting does provide focus and direction. Thanks.

Colors are so very WoW and eye popping! You can definitely tell he's up to something with that wicked grin and steepled fingers

Yes, there was quite a lot to play with here, stone, wood, fur , flesh and that hairy mohawk
Glad you like it

A stunning and richly detailed piece of work. I really like how you've applied the highlights. The colour scheme is also beautiful; vibrate, but very tasteful! Excellent piece of work.
