Description
I recently finished reading The Art of The Fellowship of the Ring. That book makes me want to be John Howe when I grow up. Only prettier.(graphite)

Sweet! This feels very Miyazaki-esque for some reason. I think it's the long, thin, creepy limbs.

Yay creatures! I like-a this guy. I really like the semi cross hatching for shading. It's nice.

He should fight my purple people eater. That would be epic. Nice shadow work

The shadows make him look so real and substantial! Swell pose and composition, too. I love spindly monster things. ;_;

Whoa! That thing is so long and lanky! It's slightly creepy. And it's face too...But I say a nice effect in the air. I'd hate to ever encounter something like that. It's like a monster version of Golem...well...more monster-like version...

Whereas, I am reading through Two Towers again as my wind-down-before-bed book.
And even though he's supposed to be vaguely hobbitlike, this thing made me think of Smeagol off the bat. When I read The Hobbit for the first time, I envisioned him as some kinda frogman, so why not?
Oh. And I'm digging the rocks.

Everyone needs a good wind-down-before-bed book. I just finished the Brother Bear art book last night.
And yeah, there's some blatant Gollum-feel to this guy. Though, I actually had a lot of the concept sketches for the orcs in mind when I did this. They were gonna make them all animal-like and awesome at first.

It's true - this guy looks way too tough to be a skulking Ring addict.
Animalistic Orcs woulda been dang cool. Though... the heavily Maori Uruk-Hai from the films were definitely awesome as-is.
