Could you just use a render? Not being critical or anything, asking a legitimate question.

I just usually lasso rope it and erease everything around it. That's how I render.

Also it will take longer but the magic erease tool can select area's you dont want

this isn't exactly making a picture transparent, in your case it is because the background is so simple, but it wouldn't work with magic eraser if it was a gradient background or many colors, or even something complicated like leaves of a tree, you would wanna lasso it and select around the face of your troll face, then hit ctrl+shift+i to invert your selection, then press delete to delete the background :)
