Artist's Comments

[Charcoal stick]

Grima Wormtongue. He doesn't get enough portraits. You always see Aragorn, Frodo, ARWEN. Come to think of it, Grima, Eomer, Theoden, Denethor.. Gamling! You never see Gamling! *modifies her list of to-do portraits*

I liked the chiaroscuro light and dark boldness and the mood it creates. I was happy with the facial structure and shading, but if you full view it you can see many poorly executed details. I spent hours on the freakin eyes and nothing good came of it. I thought about throwing a gaussian blur on the whole thing to hide the details and then say I smudged it. But that would be cheating.

Hey, you're right. You never see those people. And it's pretty rare to see merry and pippin and faramir also. There are enough pictures of arwen to last the world a life time. I salute you and your Grima picture - it's really good!

Hey, thank you! I forgot about Faramir, Merry & Pippin. I'll definitely add Faramir to my list. Thank you for the compliment.

No, Elijah, you can't tig on a tog, you can't tag on a tig, you have to do an elephant impression if you're gonna tig Billy. If Billy's gonna tig you back you have to get on your knees and pull your trousers down. ~Dominic Monaghan
