'Timmy the Transforming Troll' is a character being developed for a children's picture book I'm currently working on. The book is being put together for my major project, as part of the 'Picture Book Writing & Illustration' course run by Adrienne Geoghegan.
He was partly inspired by the work of John Bauer. However, the initial sketches are much loser than this illustrator and are more along the lines of Quentin Blake.The story is about Timmy - a little troll who dreams of being like a human. After a number of failed attempts to fit in to the human world, Timmy meets a mysterious spirit who willingly transforms him. When he finally realises that being a troll is his true nature, turning back isn’t so easy...
