Thanks SC for pointing this image out to me. I was busy being house everything.
I like this image very much ESPECIALLY THE WATER. Please tell me kaz that you have a ZScript to share. That is the kind of water I know that Zee can produce but I just cannot get it like that as yet. Now you have done so I will just have to try harder.
Thanks for a splendid image, featuring one of my favorite things Zee water.

Thank you everyone. I started by playing with some water effects, then this came to mind.
DeeVee, I added a script for my water in another thread...

It's great to see another Rings scene from you, Kaz! I'm glad that you didn't let the movie -- incredible as it is -- color your personal vision of the creature. :tu:

[Kaz]

Thanks Aurick. I should note that my rendition is based on the artwork from the 1977 Rankin/Bass production of "The Hobbit". A picture of good 'ol Smeagol can be seen here:Gollum (http://www.timefold.com/rbhimages/rbh18.img.jpg)

Your LOTR pictures are always awsome Kaz, this one no exception. :)

I love this vision of Gollum, nice work Kaz. After seeing LoTR movie I have started the Trilogy again for the 12th or 13th time. I liked how they incorporated alot of Artists visions in the artwork for the movie, I noticed how similiar the Gate of Moria was to your image you did awhile back.

[Kaz]

I wish I could say that they asked me, but they did not. Oh well.

I have a book called: J.R.R. Tolkien: Artist and Illustrator. I have many reference books, but I like to use this one. He has a drawing in there for the Gates of Moria (http://img-fan.theonering.net/rolozo/images/tolkien/hollin.jpg) that I wanted to recreate. I decided on the close-up instead.
