My first ever bust and the last Christmas gift I ever received from my Mom, I wanted to do this right. I used the warm cool contrast in a way similar to Peter Jackson in the films to show the influence of the ring. I am incredibly proud of this one. Laser etched base by the incomparable Wayne Rogers. I used: Vallejo, Scale 75, Stynylrez, p3 and DarkStar paints a Badger Sotar Airbrush and Broken Toad brushes.

Reworked afterwards to the final form as seen in these pictures based on feedback (thankyou David Diamondstone and Chris Suhre in particular!) and went on to place Gold a couple of months later.

Nice job on the warm-to-cool lighting. I always like games with light. Glad you found my critiques helpful. :)
