Description
Probably the two most interesting
characters from "Lord of the Rings-
The Return of The King.' The acting
that Andy Serkis accomplished in The
Two Towers and The Return of The King
was nothing short of amazing. I hope
I did them justice.
A little Biography (from TheOneRing.net)
on Smeagol:
Smeagol's original name was Trahald, the Anglicized equivalent of which is Smeagol. Smeagol was born in the year 2430 to a fairly prominent family of hobbits of the Stoor strain near the Gladden Fields. In the year 2463, the day of Smeagol's coming of age, he went fishing with his cousin Deagol. While fishing, Deagol saw something glittering under the surface of the water, dove in after it, and came up with a glittering gold ring. Before even knowing the qualities of the beautiful ring, Smeagol's desire to own it overtook him, and he murdered his cousin for it.
The two separate sketches were accomplished
with H, HB and .3 mechanical pencils. I
then brought the two sketches together in PSP8,
where I applied some transparency to Gollum,
added soft focus, a background, a matting in
which I added color, the frame and Rose.
The wallpapers (photos from the movie)
I used as reference are from the LOTR
website which are available.
for download. For Smeagol, I referred
to my memory of the film and to http://www.quintessentialwebsites.com
/lordoftherings where they have a photo
of Deagol and Smeagol together. There
are very few photos available to use for reference where Smeagol is concerned.
Thanks for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!...Cheryl
