This is an illustration I did for a sweet little book called 'The Tale of Trellie the Troog' by Douglas Hill. Troogs are described thus:
'Old stories of scary monsters only tell about things like trolls and ogres. And while troogs could be scary, they weren't as horrible as trolls or as ugly as ogres. They knew, of course, that people were always frightened out of their wits if they saw a troog. But troogs just thought that people were a little odd.'
They're perfectly right, of course!
Anyway, enjoy!
Lots of love,

This is gorgeous. I especially like the trees- they're magnificent. And the rolling hills- looks like there is a bit of a mist out there in the wilds.
Oh my, these do look like monsters I would not want to meet anywhere but on this pc. Great job!

the troog looks right cuddly - in a troog kinda way of course...I really love the depth in your illustrations...you get such a neat effect with hatching...I always enjoy your work :)
Beautiful image! It's a fairytale-atmosphere in it! The colours, the trees, the owls and all the others goes together in a wonderful image - great, really!
He looks like a perfect Norwegian Troll :)
Great!
Glad the troog had cat's for friends. I had a nightmare painting a night time grave yard scene ones yours is brillient. Waiting for my boyfriend to finish putting the wheel back on his car so we can go to London via queen mary resvoir to drop his boat off. Then we can go and see the exhibition I'm really looking forward to it. I have not been before so.
How true, he's a cutey. Beautiful drawing.
What a wonderful illo and story. Troogs rock!

I think this troog is very cute!
Oh, I like this! The atmosphere is spooky, and the big monster looks appropriately scary. I love the cats:>
The big guy looks scary...but, loveable! Awesome drawing...and, love the whole feel of it! VERY nice!
I especially like the background - the colors and atmosphere are lovely - a very nice counter point to all the black creatures. Fun illustration.
What a great illustration! Beautifully done. :0)
I did make it to the exhibition eventually. That wheel on my boyfriends car took along time. It was really great to see so many different styles in watercolour. I was a little disapointed I did not spot your paintings I was looking forward to seeing them in reality I was probably just being dopey or something. Hope you make it on Sunday.
hello !!
Very good blog !
