The Wizard and the Worg

The Wizard and the Worg

The Wizard and the Worg is my fourth and final piece on Tolkien’s book; The Hobbit.

A thrilling tale, the Wizard Gandolf and his dwarven companions find that they have insulted an underground labyrinth of orcs by escaping captivity. The orcs, who were close friends with the vile and untamed Worgs, chased Gandolf and his companions through a clearing in a grove where they had no choice but to climb the large pine trees at the edge of the forest.

In this imaginary depiction, Gandolf is lighting a pine cone on fire to throw at a hungry Worg below in an attempt to ignite his fur.

Riddles In The Dark

The third installment of my sketchbook is titled Riddles in the Dark. Completed in the spring of 2016, this piece is a depiction of my favorite chapter in J.R.R. Tolkien’s book; The Hobbit.

An experimental piece, cubes are used to create depth while contradicting sources of lighting create false perspective. The title while true to its subject, is ironically multifaceted. Then again, when one really thinks about it… It’s not that ironic at all.
