Author commentary: Hey, there she is. What a fun-looking troll. I don't think Terezi had a character design until I drew this panel. A lot of trolls weren't formally designed before the first panel they appeared in. Why waste time sketching concepts when their first appearance panel can serve as the excuse to design them? It's actually more efficient that way. Though I will admit, once it was time to introduce all twelve trolls in Hivebent, I did sketch a bunch of them in advance on paper. There were just too many, and the pacing on Hivebent was flying fast and hot. I had to have all my trolls locked, loaded, and ready to deploy.
