Description I was one of the artists on the "Lord of the Rings: Evolution" trading card set (put out by Topps). These are a few samples of the sketch cards I did -- I did 200 total, each one was an actual drawing on the card, so when you pull 'em from packs, you're pulling the actual drawing, not a reproduction.

This particular group shows some of the "Aftermarket" cards I did, meaning the ones people paid me to color after the set came out. In other words, they'd pull one of my black-n-white sketches, then send me the card and pay me to ink and color it. You can tell my aftermarkets on this set because I colored to the edge of the cards, whereas the original versions stayed within the border.

They look so comicbadass and you really managed to capture the real persons grimmest looks and yet keep them familiar and theres no doubts who they are!😎

You do amazing Lord of the Rings art, but I have to say, you sure make them angry. Only one I can remember seeing not frowing is Frodo, and he wasn't smiling either. Still, great art, really, really great.

Ok, I'm thoroughly confused. What's that one on the bottom left supposed to be?

**What's that one on the bottom left supposed to be?**

It's the Mouth of Sauron -- He appears in the extended DVD cut of "Return of the King" when Aragorn & Co. go to the Black Gates.
