A troll of the Sydfjords discovers, once again, that humans do not appreciate trolls' attempts at de-icing the railway. Part of my WIP novella The Ice Line Nightmare.
Originally a pencil sketch, but since the scanner didn't pick up enough detail, I went back and added ink outlines. I think it works particularly well for the pine forests in the background.

Remittance Witch is fantasy/steampunk, but
