See, all that sketching and I finally got a Gollum I like.
I decided to go with a frog/aye aye thing and I feel like it works wonderfully. Some liberties taken just for weirdness factor, but I also do think it works in his favor.

I am so close to finishing this I can taste it.
I've also learned how to make brushes and stamps so I never have to do all of this by hand ever again. 8D Only things left to do is resolve some lineweight issues, and color the damn thing but I need a break from it for a bit.
Hi! Have a gollum sketch dump because he's pretty much all I'm into right now.
Some thumbnail poses and the rough sketch of the final product. Gunna move some stuff around and well...yeah. Unfortunately he's nude and hairless right now because I have to do anatomy first and naturally I chose the most obnoxious pose possible. He'll be more book accurate after I finish it.
also bonus florida retiree Smeagol. He wears sunglasses at night!
Working on some thumbnails for a final illustration and thought you all would like to see this lil' creature i doodled.
i want to doodle more of him in this tiny strange form. he looks like a sickly chihuahua.
gollums gollums gollums. I'm planning to illustrate a scene from the hobbit but i can't get a Gollum I like.
I think we can go freakier and weirder personally. >8(
Back at yah with another update on this.
Yes. I really did sit there and do all those rocks. its also a cave and I could have gotten away with just winging it and in someplaces i did because rock smooth, but damn it I'm rock pilled.
hey im alive. just have had to rest me hand some. have a bilbo sketch. decided to use tolkien's drawing as a ref.
Who wants an update on this thing!? No one! So i'm doing it anyway.
Pretty much the final sketch. Theres some minor stuff I want to resolve before I ink it and color it.
But behold...everyone's favorite elderly ring addicted cave trog! The man! The Myth! The ALLEGED baby eater!
Gollum!
