Glittering Hoard

I imagine under Queen Drub, troll economics underwent a bit of a reshaping.  If women had gold and gems that they could give as gifts, rather than a boodle chest to fill with gifts from hopeful suitors... suddenly, a gig(olo) economy becomes possible!  These are the top hosts at the Glittering Hoard, a very popular dining-and-conversation establishment.  Any one of them will make you feel like a princess!
I wanted to draw beefcake.  Also, I'm afraid I was raised on Swedish and Finnish and Norwegian troll tales, and I have to draw trolls with tails.

Yessss, more troll beefcake!
You're right, this is very Drub, it has to be canon, haha.

I'm not sure about the tails. I mean I can understand your choice given your background. For me it feels like they belong to a different story, just like trolls (and elves) in other stories can look different as well.

Damn it! I tried to post a comment as soon as you posted this, but my phone has had trouble with this site for a while. Annoying. It said it took the comment but it has never shown up. So very lame. Anyway, I absolutely love this, both image and idea. And why not have some pretty troll boys ready to exchange their favors for pretty shiny things? After all, Drub flipped the troll ideal of ladies, so under her leadership, why not some males have the same chance? And they look perfectly happy in their choice, and looks like they have favored quite a few with that hoard. Great anatomy and poses on each of the very distinct individuals. Love their inclusion, we could always use more trolls. Hmm, don't recall the trolls having tails, but it's been a while since I've done any work with Nordic troll stories. When I first saw trolls in EQ, that was my first thought, that Wendy Pini was using more of the Nordic version of trolls. Either way, time to reference my Nordic myth and lore books!
