Had this guy sat waiting to paint for a while. He was quite a challenge since he's so small, but the sculpt is also full of character. In addition, we all have very firm memories of Gollum, how he moved, how he sounded, how he behaved, from Peter Jackson's excellent movies.

Hopefully I managed to capture a little bit of that with the lighting and texture of the model, which is deliberately conflicting (highly contrasting white and red light) and texturally rough. In the end, I was pretty happy with the result. Soon he will go to a private collector and hope they are too.

      Thanks! Means a lot from someone like yourself who uses colours to such great effect. Big boost that I'm heading in the right direction.
