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

Excellent recreation of the duel nature of that unlucky Hobbit! The eyes really bring out the character so vividly!

I am not a big LOTR fan, but this is one well done work of fan art. The likenesses are quite good, especially on Smeagol. Excellent...
