looking for Gollum pictures

[evan]

ODD - I know the Two Towers - The Art Of book has some nice sculpture's of gollum. Front, side, top images, etc. check that out. I'm guessing you'll find it fairly hard to find high res. drawings of gollum. But you might be lucky :)

Good luck with it.

Regards
Evan

What u can do is play the DVD and pause in a place with a goodpic of gollum, and press PrtScrn

I´ve modelled my first gollum! with 2 pics from an magazine!
the quality is very bad! this is the best i could get with the images! and this is my first try with the hobbit technik.
I´ve modelled 2 years with the box technik a i wanna try something new! and in my opinion the hobbit guy technic is one of the best! for heads.

The Texture is only there as a placeholder! Its not final
the Head is only finished for 80%(the mouth is only a hole i have to model the lips and many other things) i have to clean the wireframe a bit.. and move some vertexes!
I hope u like it :)

not much to say the eyes texture looks strage

[rubber-chicken]

on the 4 disc set one of the guys models him on the comp, if you slow it down you could probably follow his process, and have a good look at the wire frame,

only small parts!
but thx!

the eyes are to reflective i know that they look very odd!
