Description
A large Treebeard paper cutout I've been working on since last fall (I think I drew the original sketch back in September).The dimensions of the frame are 22 inches by 15 inches and about 8 inches deep.
I couldn't snap a very good picture because it has plexiglass across the front and was reflecting everything in my room. Hope you all enjoy it! Eventually I'm going to post some of the progress pictures on my blog, but as of right now I'm just happy to be done with this thing!
Edit (5/20): Just got on my computer after a hiatus of a couple of days. WOW! Lots of goings ons.
Thank you all for the DD! After the zillion hours of work I put into this thing it feels really good to know that people enjoy it so much. I apologize that I can't thank you all individually for the barrage of favorites too, but I don't have quite that much free time. Thank you all anyway though (if by some chance you happen to be reading this).

Thanks! It's really fun to figure out how to arrange all that 3D stuff too (at least in retrospect. At the time I was freaking out).

Haha yeah I know what you mean. In my last art class we had to take a painting and make it 3D. It was fun creating new aspects to the painting, like, adding my own touches here and there to make it more visually appealing (didn't go quite as planned 0.<), but getting it all finished within a time frame was nerve wracking.

That's the problem with doing art for a class. You never feel like you can REALLY get it finished the way you want it because of the time limits. It's really confining.

Before I even saw the title for this piece I could tell what it was, so bravo, this is great! Just amazing! Tolkien forever, man!

Thank you very much.

Very clever - you could make a puppet to this design too.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
haha. That'd be pretty fun. It would take a lot of little brads for the joints.

I was thinking you could do it not with card but with layers of fine plywood or veneer. It would be hard on the hands but if you made several you could sell them.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Wow. yeah. That would be a lot more sturdy too. cool idea.

That looks fantastic! It must have taken a lot of time out of your days, but it looks well worth all the effort. Great job!

haha. A lot of time out of months of my days. (that sentence was confusing)
I really appreciate that. Thank you much!

Marvelous style! Magical. I wish I could get close, but I know there's no way. But I sure am content to just look!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
haha. Well it's best if you don't get closer. That way you don't see all of the mistakes in it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, heh. I meant more that I wish I could get anywhere close to pulling off a similar style.

Practice practice practice. There's no way I could have done this a year ago.

i showed it to my woman and she was fascinated, too... (and she saw at once the long term work in this piece...)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
haha. THAT is what is most important to me. WHo cares if it looks like crap so long as people know that I tried really really hard. haha.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
you think it looks like crap???
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
haha. No. I was starting to think that a few times in the process though, and then though, "Well hopefully people will know I put of lot of work into it though."
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
oh, i know that feeling. i once helped making a little movie. there we did some of the old "stop motion" with dolls a.s.o.
phew! - you work for hours (in fact for days if you consider everything that's needed) to have some seconds of film...
nice work you did...

Utterly fascinating, very crafty little creation. I like the addition of the woodland creature's eyes in the tree hollow to the right (an owl perhaps? Though knowing Middle-earth it could be anything!) A very nice depiction of Treebeard too!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
haha. Yeah, I like to leave the eyes to the imagination. Originally I was going to draw a little spider leg or something coming out of the hallow, but decided it would be funner to leave it more vague.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well a spider leg would make some sense I guess being that giant spiders seem to be a common hazard in Middle-Earth but I like the little eyes, makes me think of old cartoons for some reason. Speaking of eyes, and not that it matters because this artwork rocks ultimate anyways, but I believe Tolkien described Treebeard's eyes as being like amber or tree sap or something?! (Just so you know, I HEARD that on the LOTR DVD commentary, I haven't actually read those books since I was 14 so don't quote me on this one.)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oooo. I missed that part in the description. I always think that blue eyes have more of that introspective/slightly absent minded look to them. That's why i went with that color.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No worries dude, like I said, don't quote me on that one. Hehe.

Oh wow this looks amazing! So much detail and i'm simply loving the depth and colors in this piece. Wonderful composition as well. Definitely a fav! ;D
