This is a fun little animation of a Troll and a cube created in Blender. Video embedded after the cut. Or view it directly on Vimeo here.
TopMod is pretty slick and complete open source modeling application with a unique workflow. It is officially available for Windows and OSX. But a Linux version is available. Quite a few tutorials are available. I recommend taking a look at the video tutorials.
