So I have this idea for a christmas card that has myself and three of my friends at Lord of the Rings characters. This first sketch is of my roommate Dave, as Gollum. Let me know what you think. Would love some input on it. 3 more sketches to come.

Here is the line work on the Dave-Gollum part of the card. Now I am working on me as Frodo. Will have the sketch up soon.

Here is the finished Dave - Gollum base colors. I am not going to put in shading untill I do the rest of the drawings and assemble them. Up next Steve - Frodo (me).

That's awsome, but I agree with Menge, I like the sketch a lot better. The finnished one is too clean or something, it just doesn't have the personality of the sketch.

Well, here is the line work now on Steve - Frodo. Man that took a lot longer then I was hoping. The One Ring and the chain are a different color cause I didn't want them to have an outline in the final version and it keeps them the other lines.

Thanks guys for the kind words. Hope you like the other two.
Scott - Gandoff
Corey - Legolas
