Trolloc

Trolloc design based on The Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan.
In the series, a Trolloc, is described as an experiment (gone wrong) in blending humans with animals and "much as height and hair colour differ between humans, so does the line between animal and human vary amongst individual Trollocs.” (http://wot.wikia.com/wiki/Trolloc) From this I had a lot of animal/ human combinations to experiment with, and so used references of preconceived human hybrids. However, I wanted this creature to be unique in some way and tried to stay from obvious animal combinations, e.g. Human+Bull (Minotaur), Human+Wolf (Werewolf) etc. I also wanted to get the essence of the 'experiment' part of the creature and looked into things like Frankenstein's Monster; to try and push the ugliness of the combination (as if the creature doesn't quite fit together right). In the end, I was very happy with the final design as it incorporates the elements I wanted, while fitting to a low poly budget.
