check out this awesome Gandalf


It kinda looks like the dude looted a keffiyeh and a string of beads off some wandering hipsters, but I still dig the look.  The above sketch is by Sam Bosma, found via Comics Alliance.  Don't miss this fetching elf lass and his unbelievably dapper hobbits.

    I'm pretty sure that guy in the picture works in the toll booth I go through every morning.

    That's perfect! I like my wizards scruffy and pipe-weed-addled.

    Why is he wearing an Owlbear skin coat?

    Great stuff and very timely. I'm bearing the end of my re-read of the Hobbit to the kiddies.

    Why wouldn't he? It's what every dapper wizard-about-town is wearing this season.

    Surprisingly bird-like, but I like it (as well as the others). Alternative visions of characters we associate strongly with a style of artwork are always interesting.

    There was also this recent link to illustrations used for the Хоббит at http://englishrussia.com/index.php/2010/05/27/russian-lord-of-the-rings/

    Check that stuff out.
