Zandalari Troll

Our goal was to make a believable troll with all the knowledge we have gained making our previous Blizzard costumes. We spent about half a year focusing on character portion of the build. We worked on creating hyper detailed skin textures and veins on our Troll feet, hands, and forehead.

Once we figured out how to mold and cast all the body parts, we got to work on the armor. We chose the Heritage armor set because of its beautiful red and gold colors that contrasted well with the troll complexion. We wanted to take every piece and make it as detailed and elaborate as possible while still remaining true to the game’s art and design. For example, we sculpted and cast custom designs on the coins to match the games aesthetic, but added more realisim.

Overall, we just wanted a really clean look that took a simple design and brought it to life with as many details and textures as possible.
