More LOTR Stuff

Seeing Justin's lovely LOTR piece reminded me to post some of the Middle Earth stuff I did for the ICE CCG in the mid 90s. (96+ to be exact). Be kind, that was 14 years ago (yeah, I am THAT old). Sadly, it was the before time just before scanning. I have sold some of the paintings and lost some of my favorites. Some were OK, some dreadful :) 

I threw this pile of cards on the scanner a couple years ago when a collector from Spain sent them to be signed so some are in Spanish.

I have always loved the Lord of the Rings series of books and this was way before the movies. Tip: the best adaptation ever is the BBC radio show with Ian Holm as Frodo.

Here's an image I made for my brother a few days for Christmas. I had to keep working on it ALL night Christmas eve. I was so rushed I didn't catch the saddle until I was almost done. He'd either suffering from a VERY short torso or a very painful leap into the saddle :P This one, though I think the sleeve is a bit too static and patterned (thanks, Jerry :) ) is one of my favourites. Despite these faults I was pleased with the armour and general outcome achieved. I was very focused on the mail. One thing I did my best to achieve was the fact that metal like that will reflect differently with each little piece. I was very happy with the armour. Any other comments would be appreciated. I'd e interested to hear what you have to say, Chuck. You weren't at the lunch I brought this painting to. It's about 8.5"x11". So is the hart piece.
