This piece is called Stranded, and it is painted by alias EthicallyChallanged. The medium is acrylic on canvas, and it features a fantastical forest scene, filled with Easterish rabbits and butterflies and bright, pastel colors. Sitting solemnly under a tree is a hideous looking troll, staring glumly forward.
The piece focuses mainly on contrast, both in hue and in subject matter. The background colors are mainly bright and happy, helping make the sludge colored troll stand out even more in his unmatching landscape. The painter balances the piece with the inclusion of flowers in the foreground bushes, balancing out the heavy left side. One flaw is his right leg is substantially larger than his left, and there are several instances of smudged paint.
The work centers around the unhappy Grum. He used to be a well feared troll from his homeland, but after a series of terrible events which separated him from his cave, he wandered around aimlessly until collapsing from exhaustion under a nearby tree. As he awoke, he saw many disgustingly adorable creatures flirting about. In the old days, he would have stormed through, frightening them away as fast as the wind. But he was just too homesick to cause any more mischief that morning. Besides, the bunnies look kinda cute.
