Ok...what more can I add to this world that we haven't already seen masterfully represented by Peter Jackson's films? Seriously...why bother!? Well, here's how it started. I've been fairly obsessed with the use of line in my artwork over the last few years. This was after the mixed (ok, maybe I'm being generous) reception the CGI comic covers I did for DC came out. I was always a traditional artist before I entered the world of 3D animation and games. More specifically, I was a painter. So, as things usually come back around...I've decided to start relying less on line and get back to my roots. The recent iPad paintings I've been doing helped me come to this. As for Gandalf here...I just wanted to do something that isn't represented well in my portfolio. Fantasy. I guess this is Gandalf sometime before LOTR, but after The Hobbit.

Also...thanks to this gentleman for looking like a real wizard and providing great reference to be a jumping off point for my Gandalf....
