The mighty troll
What’s beautiful in Skyrim ? Skyrim
Let’s redo it in Blender
A mod needs a showcase
These renders were made to be the thumbnails for the Troll MCO-DXP mod and its associated videos. Respectively the regular troll and the armored troll

Who doesn’t like hairy trolls ? I do. On the other hand this was made using the in game asset, by adding hair where the hair cards (polygons textured to look like hair) were. You can still clearly see the edges of the hair cards. It would have been judicious to remove them entirely and add hair on the skin of the troll
The new added hair themselves are not great. The troll has that “carpet” look him

The lighting isn’t the best. There isn’t enough focus on the troll and the rock. There probably are too many light sources. The color choice for the background may be questionnable too as everything seems to blend
For those reason, it lacks of a strong and clear focal element. The face, because as humans our eyes tend to naturally go towards faces, is still the focal element. But it’s not helped by the rest or rather, the lighting and colors seem to actively impede it
The material for the armor itself is not great. It looks more like leather than iron
