What can you tell us about virtuoso and ludvig?

Virtuoso and Ludvig are both classical troll OCs I've made; although they both are the same species of trolls, their stories do not tie into one another, meaning, they both have different backstories and things going on in their lives. Technically speaking, they do know one another or are aware of each-other's existence, but I wouldn't say they have a close bond nor would they consider each other as friends. With that said, they also don't hate each other either; it's very mundane and casual between them.

I'll give some facts about the two, but not their entire stories as that would make this post be far too long...

----------------------------------------------------

Virtuoso, as his name allures to, is an exceptionally talented individual; his expertise not only revolving around musical talent but in the field of arts too. He was, from a very young age, very quick to pick up and learn new instruments with seemingly such ease and because of this, currently, Virtu can practically play any sort of orchestral instrument ( i.e. he's mastered the violin, flute, harp, clarinet, viola, double bass, cello, piano-- so on so forth ) With that said, Virtuoso is unable to sing... He cannot and does not possess the ability to sing and is very VERY bad at it. Currently, Virtuoso technically does live in Symphonyville but he doesn't frequent there as often as one may expect since he primarily focuses on his business... Virtu owns his own commercial art store in which he promotes and sells different types of art ( sculptures, pottery, paintings, etc... ) and even makes and sells his own art. ( for art, he mainly collects glass and creates beautiful stained glass pieces he then will sell in the store but not all the things in the store is made by him, a lot ARE made by other artists ) He will visit other villages and attend their art and craft fairs to not just promote his store, but sell and educate others of fine arts. He does this with the help of Dunton, a country troll, who actually works for Virtuoso. ----------------------------------------------------

As for Ludvig Von Breveon, as his name suggests; he is a classical troll who I had based // was inspired off of the famous composer 'Ludwig Van Beethoven'. Due to events that transpired during Ludvig's younger years ( that Im not gonna go into detail here with cause this is already long ) Ludvig had in fact lost his colors; he was not always diluted into being greyscale that was something that happened to him. Ludvig is VERY critical and is a huge perfectionist, not just when it comes to his music, but just in general with---everything. Similar to Beethoven, Ludvig does also have impaired hearing but despite being practically deaf, he is still able to create and compose music. Unlike Virtuoso who can play practically any orchestral instrument, Ludvig had only perfected in playing the Piano; though is an absolutely magnificent pianist. ( though because of his hearing, Ludvig plays it with a metal rod of sorts that he has to bite down on in order to HEAR the music. This happens by the vibrations of the sound s which travels through the rod, past the jawbone, and enters his inner-ear ) Unlike the other classical trolls, Ludvig specifically plays a very unique sound of music that no one has ever heard of at the time. His music is described as being very haunting, dark, soul-stirring, yet at the same time breath taking. He never plays any sort of 'up beat' and cheerful music. Outside of music, Ludvig writes a LOT of poetry; again, specifically dark and gloomy poetry as this is his way of expressing himself but also venting. its like his own personal diary. He treats his poetry and music as a way of expressing his emotions.

Typically, I've always drawn Vetricus's cheliceraes as shown in exhibit A. ...but I wanted to actually try to reshape them to look more like fangs pointing downwards as shown in exhibit B. , Thoughts?

[gargantula]

could you draw DK with Kid Pauline? please

The strong must protect the sweet

[gargantula]

Memphis and Mama Vernonia!

[gargantula]

Everest and Pinnacle-- my own little sub-species of trolls I created... They are super hairy to help them keep warm as their kind are typically found up in a small, remote village located in harsher, cooler climates located up within the mountains...!

[gargantula]

Ahem...Im slowly falling back into my trolls kick, but who's complaining? not me! WHAAHAH anywho here's my OC Dunton...been too long.

I'm going to bet that glozrug never ate a troll during trollstice or he did try but he couldn't do It

Glozrug has never eaten a troll before but it's not for the reasons you may think... My world build for how Bergens, and trolls too, differentiates from how it is with the film in some aspects. There are some elements I did keep that the trolls movies have with the species while others I changed and did my own thing with it. This allows me a lot more creative freedom to do with what I want with these characters while also having them not have no relations to canon characters within the franchise. (( i.e having trolls villages but there is different kings / queens. There being more than just one society/village/clan per music genre of trolls etc... )) For instance, with Bergens they still do in fact eat trolls and there is a natural instinct/urge to want to eat them but the accessibility to eat trolls has to do with classes. You have higher ranking Bergens and lower ranking Bergens and trolls are seen as a MAJOR, very rare delicacy to the Bergen's food pallet. Meaning, in my own story there is no such thing as Trollstice as that was a event that happened strictly with the Bergen kingdom that was shown IN the film, not in my story. But despite there not having Trollstice, what they do instead is have a group of Bergens who's prime duties are to go out and capture trolls to then bring back and eat. i.e. think about people who are crab catchers or lobster catchers, they are troll catchers. Trolls in a food dish is VERY expensive and so only the upper class Bergens are really able to only eat them because of just how expensive they are due to not only how difficult it can be to find and capture them, but because of the side-effects that occur once eating them... Glozrug is VERY lower-classed and so he doesn't have that privilege to be able to afford to eat troll-based-dishes so cause of that he has never had one. In hindsight, he could try to go out and hunt for a troll himself in the hopes to taste one; but because Glozrug has very low efforts in pursuing things or sticking to things, the odds he would use any time to go out and look for a troll for hours, days, if not weeks or months in the hopes of tasting one is most likely NOT gonna happen. He'd give up way too easily... DOES he wanna try a troll? If he had the opportunity he might but it'd have to already be pre-prepared. Meaning, he wouldnt be able to go through with eating one if it was still alive, breathing, and talking cause it'd feel wrong BUT if one was already dead and cooked // made into some kind of meal already he'd probably then have a better chance of going through with eating it.

Was looking through my folder full of my trolls ocs and realized I have NOT drawn my Bergen oc in a LONG LONG TIME...so I decided to bring him back and give him a well deserved revamp! This is Glozrug-- one of the biggest debbie downers one may EVER meet...he is talentLESS, lonely, and the only REAL hobby he has is collecting rocks he finds off the floor...

Oh King K. Rool, it is so great to have you make a return to the series...
