Still working on my comic, so sorry for not posting much recently.

A piccy of Gandalf, when he was known as Olorin, before he came to Middle Earth.

I’ve drawn Olorin before but it got deleted in the great December purge. I was never very happy with how it turned out, so I decided to have another go at it. Started by digging out my copy of the Silmarillion, which says:

Wisest of the Maiar was Olorin. Though he loved the Elves, he walked among them unseen, or in form as one of them, and they did not know whence came the fair visions or the promptings of wisdom that he put into their hearts.

It also says that he liked to hang out in the forests of Valinor, so I figured that I’d do that most unusual of things and actually put a background in.  Then I sketched the figure out, and took some inspiration for the face from pictures of Ian McKellen when he was young.  

This was fun to draw.

A quick 30 min sketch of Eowyn from Lord of the Rings

Seriously, I dont do any uploadable work for weeks (Though this is mainly due to drawing comics instead) and now I cant stop myself. Ill try not to do anything else tonight.

Also, apologies for sort of making Eowyn a pin-up. I wasn’t aiming for it to look like Miranda Otto, which is good, because it doesnt, but I really didnt mean for it to just go full on with the sexyness.

I’m back from Leed’s Thought Bubble festival. Had a very positive portfolio review with the Marvel Editor Steve Wacker. But yes, normal business on the blog shall now resume.

Here’s something a bit different- a pen drawing coloured with copic markers.

I really fancy watching Lord of the Rings. They’re my favorite movies ever, so I try not to watch them very much.
