Description The incredibly long development cycle is finally over!
Looking back at my old blog posts I realise this image is nearly 18 months in the making. This is a slightly colour-corrected photo of the final colours. It's still not a fabulous representation of the real thing but it will have to do until I get it drum scanned.

One thing I learnt from this - leaving masking tape on too long is not great for the paper I took off large chunks of the surface of the paper when removing it. I have an idea how to fix it up before framing it though.

More to come!

Very tasty!

Is it watercolor and ink?

Very nicely done! And I understand completely about the colors. Many scanners can be fickle beasts at best. At worst, they can be downright exasperating!

Many thanks. I could easily spend the rest of my days illustrating Gandalf. He does indeed have a lot of character

Thanks, Ben. I have you to thank for nudging me along this route... slow and ponderous as I move it is nice to see it done.

Does the smoke from the pipe extend in to Gandalf's beard or somink? Cause I can't stop thinking that Gandalfs beard is just smoke...or the other way round....Im confused...

AndyIomoon In reply to alions123 [2012-06-26 22:07:34 +0000 UTC]

Heh - I had the same feeling when I looked back at it at the end... it looks like Gandalf's beard is the smoke from Bilbo's pipe

Oh gosh, I love this part of the book. "What do you mean? Do you wish me a good morning, or mean that it is a good morning whether I want it or not, or that you feel good this morning, or that it is a morning to be good on?" That line from Gandalf makes me laugh every time I read it.

This is a beautiful piece, though. The border makes it look so much cleaner and more professional.

Cheers, Erin. This one fell out quickly initially... and then took the looooong way to the finish line
