Description
First painting I've submitted in a while! This was drawn over a period of a week/s for a friend as a special present for christmas.
Drawn on a (rapidly breaking) Wacom Bamboo Tablet and PSE7.
No copyright infringement intended.
Photo refs used for Gollum and bilbo, and based off the idea of riddles in the dark from the film!
Enjoy and please leave comments

I webt to your page to thank you for the favourite, but I sort of got distracted by your gallery and its amazingness...sorry...
But this is EXACTLY the sort of thing I desperately want to be able to do.

You're welcome, and thank you so much! That's so lovely of you to say! If you can do this kind of thing on the computer, then I'm sure your traditional art must be fantastic as well.
Thank you, I might have to take you up on that soonβ¦

Wooow! Gollum/Smeagol's face is so accurate! 
(Also, I like the little touch of Bilbo's glowing sword

Haha no wayy, you noticed Bilbo's swordd! I'm surprised, such as small detail; everyone I gave it to look at thought it was a mistake! heh. It was so nearly never completed though, my poor tablet couldn't take it xD
Glad you like it! It turned out realllly dark once printed thouggh, I was like, pfft. But you get the general jist ^^ You can see Bilbo more in this version!Β The ring fits perfectly by the way, I've been wearing it all day and I seriously loves it! I don't think it could fit/ look more perfect if it tried xD
And the texture on his face is from layer after layer after layer. So many layers on that goddamn face! I start off simple and work upwards, making it more detailed as I go along, surprisingly though, the eyes didn't have that many layers. Was awesome fun to draw though. Gollum/ Smeagol is hard, especially such a close up view of him xD
But Merry Christmas! Hope you're having a nice time in Dubai. (We need to go see the Hobbit when you get back thoughh ^^)
