Description
The road will not be easy, but you have the foresight of your people. If you can't find him... no one can. -- Gandalf to Aragorn, The Hunt for GollumThe Hunt for Gollum is a short, unofficial Lord of the Rings film set a few years before the events in The Fellowship of the Ring.
When I saw this short film, I simply couldn't believe it was made by fans on such a low budget! The acting and the choreography was so good! And it was even shot in a style reminiscent of Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings films! I highly recommend it to fans of the films and the books!
I found Adrian Webster's portrayal of Aragorn very intriguing, so I absolutely had to draw him. He's got such introspective, melancholic eyes... really different from Viggo Mortensen's Aragorn.
Done within 2 hours with 6H, HB, 2B and 8B pencils with reference material in my sketchbook. The quality isn't very good unfortunately; my friend took a photo of it with her camera and it eroded most of the details.
Also, this is to be my entry for the Aragorn Contest held by .

Excellent job here, it looks *just* like him... which could be a good thing or a bad thing depending on how you look at it... Personally, I think Adrian Webster looks like a creep... you know, a real creeper-creep, as opposed to the tall, dark, and handsome good-creepy kind played by Viggo. I think my dislike of Adrian is mostly due to his hair, which is disturbingly fluffy and goes down in my book as the world's worst haircut. But either way, you *did* portray him quite accurately and that is something you can be proud of.

I agree the The Search for Gollum was mind-boggling good for a fan made spectacle, and you did a great job rendering this version of Aragon, it looks really fantastic. The softness and sorrow is very evident in the eyes and the mouth. Wonderful job!

Somebody saw the club news recently..
Well done !
I really liked that film. I couldnt believe fan made cinema would look so... professional.
And um. I think... this aragorn.. is more loyal to the books than the movie one ? a solemn remnant of a dying people?
I liked it a lot. Photography is top notch. And the gollum.. Lovely!
Anyway- the painting is great

I'm doing a Foundation course and hopefully, if I do well, be off to a 5-year course in Medicine.
The Foundation course is very tough; there are 250 seats available for Medicine this year but 700 Foundation students ...so everyone's working really hard to secure a place.
