I think its Saruman's black-ball thing. Sorry thats about as far as my LOTR lingo goes!

Bryan ShafferI believe that is Sarumans future seeing ball...
The pilanthir I think it what it is called.

Arvin SloaneI could be mistaken, but it looks as if tevans33
scored the left hand portion of the Cooney montage I've got the centerpiece for. Care to trade?

I noticed that too and was going to ask if you would part with yours, but after looking closer they do not match up

I guess he must have done a few similar ones.

I think that the third sketch (the Perna) in your second post with scans in fact is of a Moria orc and not Gollum! Actually I am pretty certain

You got some real nice sketches there, gratz

Legolas
Gandalf
Gollum
Sam
Aragorn & Arwen
Balrog
Orc
Sam
Orc
Boromir
Sauron's Eye
Cave Troll
Orc
Orc
Frodo
Eowyn

allenderMike, a couple of your sketches need some more research, but here's some of the artists: First 6 #5, Chris Henderson and #6, Patrick Hamill. Second 6: #1 and #2, Brent Woodside and #4, Rich Molinelli (RAM).
February 21, 2008, 07:39 AM
arc-trooper19374From the scans I would think that they are
Legolas
Gandalf
Gollum or an Orc
Sam
Aragorn & Arwen in Rivendell
Balrog
Gollum or Orc
Sam
Orc (Grishnak?)
Boromir
Sauron's Tower (Baradhur) with Mount Doom in background
Gollum or Cave Troll
Gothmog (Orc Captain at Battle of Pelennor Fields)
Orc or Mountain Troll
Frodo
Eowyn
Hope this helps.

Hey Mike, I saw your Heroes multipanels and they were great! The nice thing about yours was that each card could stand on it own.

Hi, I am really glad to hear you liked this one. It was a bit of an experiment and I did a lot of the blending with my fingers (Hence the visible finger prints in your scan

). I did a couple like that and I think you pulled the most successful. One of my more quickly executed cards but hopefully it has kept some of the energy that way.
