Description
Just a quickie to let you know I haven’t fallen off the edge of the World (or been eaten by trolls). Super busy the last two weeks with mowing (the grass is growing an inch a night!), complete overhaul of the shed behind the house and a minor but annoying injury. I’ve pulled something in my right elbow that makes things like eating, typing, using a mouse, basically all movement that requires bending, very painful. I tried just using an elastic support and it helps but still allows me too much freedom to do things and aggravate the hurt. Ridiculous as it looks and feels, I am now keeping the arm in a sling and learning to do everything left handed – including hunt-and-peck typing. Ray has been doing the mowing and the landlord gave us their 30” riding mower, which will help a lot. Now if I can just grit my teeth and sit still until this goes away, we should be fine. I’ll get back to the Gallery as soon as I can.
This is the Daz Troll Bundle, one of this week’s freebies. The “snack” is the Daz horse 2.

So sorry to hear about your elbow,take care,Michael. Klasse image!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Looks yummy! :)
Where's that Baggins guy when you need him??
Well, sounds like you've been busy indeed, Teri! Hope your arm heals up quickly - although I've found things take a little longer than they did 40 years ago... What's up with that?
Hey, doing all that stuff with your left hand is easy! I've been doing it for almost 70 years! 😁😆😅😄
Great looking scene! He looks like the guy who fixed my character the Bean & Cheese and Ghost Pepper Burrito
Enjoy that mowing my friend, grows crazy hete with all the rain we've had. Nice work.
Sorry to hear about your arm! My best wishes for a quick recovery! In the meanwhile... It looks like someone's got your goat... Fantastic image!
I'm sorry you're hurting, I hope you feel better, soon. cool troll, poor horse but good work on both poses.
I've had elbow injuries before and man are they annoying! Now 'scuse me while I look for a rock to throw at that troll so he doesn't eat that horse.
Talk about atmosphere, nice job on this!

Great image!!! Condolences for your arm and having to BE GOOD and not aggravate it.....
Awesome scene!
Trolls have to eat - but not you!!!
Fantastic work, but I'm sorry to hear about your elbow. I hope you're feeling much better soon.
If this BIG guy doesn't get in from the night air he's going to get a little horse . . . . . . . whoops! Too late ! ! ! !

Very impressive image !
Someone asked me if it was time to end all the horse meat jokes. I said neigh. Oh well... at least the horse gets to sleep somewhere warm tonight. =)
Beautiful artwork, my friend!
Oh that poor horse! I feel so sorry for it! I also feel sorry for your pain! I hope you get through it soon! We don't realize how all our body parts work with each other until something like this happens! Then it is all too obvious! Get well soon and get back to enjoying being creative! Best wishes!
good horse pose get well soon
Very well and nicely done!
If he's checking in, I'm checking out! Beautiful! Hope you feel better!
I mowed my lawn last weekend and mowed again today. just enough rain to keep my 4Runner dirty and make the lawn grow like crazy. very cool pose and scene. I hope you can get some relief. have you ever tried "Blue Stuff?" it is good for localized pain relief.
available at Walmart and other stores. I have a jar of it that I use on occasion . goes by different names
Cool troll or beast, I love the decayed textures all over him, like decayed metal. And he's carrying a horse? I cant tell if he's killed it or he's just carrying it, but it's an impressive sight. And nice dark lighting too. (The horse is almost ghostly, in this light.) I always wondered if it's as hard to work with dark light in 3D as it is in photography (in photography, you get grain; I see none here). A cool, spooky, mysterious image. Nice work with the light and shadow.
I hope your injury heals quickly...I know it can take time, and no matter how you treat it, if it needs time, it will take it, no matter what we say. I hope it doesn't need time. Amazing how much we take a limb for granted, until it goes out on us. If I told you this, you can stop reading, but if not, I was photographing a few years back, and I jumped off a rock---maybe 3 feet. When I hit the ground, I collapsed like an accordion. I couldn't move. First time i was ever unable to get up. A bunch of teens ran over and shouted: "Are you ok, sir? Are you ok, sir?" (First, "sir" did NOT set well, as I hadn't accepted that I was in my 60s. I didn't say anything, but I thought 'at what point did I become a 'sir'???") Secondly, for all their true kindness, I wanted to crawl under a rock. I couldn't get up! I wanted to die. So I let them help me, I stood up, acted very cool (I wasn't cool), thanked them, and then went home and wanted to crawl under the bed. I mean, I exercise, walk, eat well, but age slows-up everything...I don't know if any of this applies to your situation, but I hope you heal quickly and you can use your arm and shoulder soon. People here will certainly understand! Take care and I hope you can rest in the meantime...
Awesome image!
nice work
