Description

Finally found time to finish this up.. Learnt a lot from doing this, my first full attempt at a digitally painted portrait :) Giving 3D a break for a while, and honing my 2D techniques. Inspired by of course, the wondeful Gollum *I lurv! this guy* If I don't see/speak to you all before x-mas/new year.. I'd just like to wish everyone! a Very Happy Christmas, and a wonderful New Year!! Hope Santa's nice to you all *hehe* All the best, Mike

Whoa!!! I can hear him even more clearly now, the scampering whimpering little git!!!! He's a great character and one which will stay with me all of my days...the Directors vision of him from the book is amazing and your 2D work from the Film Character is even more amazing!. C Yer Mate! Alan

First time back her at R'osity in a while, and who do I come to first? Mike, of course! I love Gollum...It's so cute in a twisted sort of way. hehe This image is incredible...It looks exactly like Gollum. You're really talented, Mike. Happy holidays to you too! hugs

I say again: EINSTAK and Storkostlegt. Great contrast and highlights. The detail is amazing. Good idea to change to 2D for a while. I too am kind of worn out doing Poser work so Ive turned more to my music. Hope you're doing well my friend. Merry Christmas or "Gledileg Jol" as we say here in the land of ice and snow and have a Storkostlegt New Year!!
