How old r u? JW, cuz the level of work you do is awesome and i wondered if u were still a high schooler. First off, i am a big fan of the Tolkien series and i think you captured Gandalf extremely well. Awesome, awesome, awesome, lol

Mercury

We're 17 years old....turning 18 in May. Yeah we're also big Tolkien fans.

WOW, unvelivable, thats the best drawing ive seen in a long time. Excellent job

damn. . . .DaMn. . and more DAMN. . .

being a Art fan is enought for me to appreciate it, and being a Tolkien fan is enough for me to want it.

Great work

I�ve noticed that all your characters seem like they are squinting, is this just part of your style? Or is it just coincidence?

I think this is your best drawing yet. I would like to see how you would draw an elf, like say Legolas or Arwen *hint, hint* :)

i hate lord of the rings but i like that picture, very good

hate....?! Lord of the Rings!?
wow, there is a phrase that escapes my comprehension...

How can you h8 LOTR!? :confused: :( :mad: It's the best trilogy i have ever read! Anywayz the picture it very well done. The perpective is perfect and the shading is amazingly convincing. Well done. Keep it up. Oh and maybe you could try and draw legolas. I like him. *Winks* hint hint.

Damn, that's skill. You perfectly captured Gandalf. Must've taken forever to do that. Great that you put time and effort into your work, unlike a lot of artists now a days...just come up with somethin' and draw..e.e;

Wow! I must be totaly out of it. Dont get me wrong, this is a crazy good pic, but it dosent very much like the gandalf I invisioned.

I realy like the texture on the wood, what did you use for that? I know you can do it in ps, but its kinda tedious.

That's one good drawing ! excellent!

But can I say something? The old geezer's hands are quite short, and the horse's left eye.... just looks wrong >_< .
