Well, at least this set will be easier and affordable to get a complete master set as I think there weren't be any autos.

Ahhhhhhhhh the great promo redistribution of 2005 - seriously this is a cool thing - thanks Jas.

Although from the pics I think the green background of the promo only serves to make poor Frodo look more peaky - poor lad

I reckon that Gimli sketch is courtesy of our newest Artist Yakshack member.. Cynthia cummens....

http://www.theyakshack.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=3244.new#new


Also i don't think those Stain glass cards are half bad. They're a much better improvement than some of the pointless scenes Topps used to turn into Prismatic Cards for the First Three sets!!!

And nicer than the Level A and Level B Star Wars Evolution Chase cards (those were just plain unimaginative)

 Smiley Wow, you guys are too nice! Yes, that's my Gimli card. It was actually the sample that I submitted to Topps and New Line back in July. Don't worry, I plan to do more of the same since that one is so well-liked.  I'm not allowed to post my sketch cards yet (approval must be given by Topps/New Line before that can happen). But I can tell you that so far, I've drawn quite a few Arwens, Eowyns, Gollums and hobbits. Oh, and plenty of meaty, juicy Orcs too! I'm drawing 350 cards and will definitely shoot for as many different characters as I can.

About ORC, I've been invited and will be participating in a new event called Iron Artist. It's based on the tv show Iron Chef. It's going to be held on the main stage. Those that attend last year know how HUGE that room was! I'm a bit nervous so cheer me on, gang! You can read about this event on the web site:

http://creationent.com/cal/one_ring.htm

Also, I'll be teaching a kids drawing workshop again, so if you have any suggestions for what your little one might like to learn to draw, feel free to make a suggestion! I may just stick with drawing hobbits and elves again:)

Well gang, I'll let you know when I've updated my web site with these LOTR sketch cards. And might I say how happy I am to be a part of this project! See you all soon!

Beautiful work Cynthia!!   Smiley   Do you know who any of the other artists are who will have sketch cards in the upcoming Lord of the Rings Evolution card set besides yourself?  Will you be drawing any Aragorn sketches?  He is my favorite!  Thanks.   Smiley

I sure hope all the sketches will be that nice, but lets be realistic there will probably be more than a fair share of crappy ones.  I think I will buy a little, but buy most of my sketches online.

I think that Topps needs to ease off milking the sketch cards.  I think it would be a nicer set with a mix of sketches and auto's.  IMO it is the cheapest way for the card manufacturer's to get a product made and give a premium insert. 

I want to make sure I clarify that IMO some of the sketches are really fantastic works of art that we all would love to have....on the other hand I have been disappointed too many times by pulling a crappy sketch (IE SW Heritage Martinez) that I would hate to pay $40-$50 for a box and have it happen again.

Does anyone else feel this way?

Exactly the way I feel. Tongue  I'm nervous to see Martinez on the list of artists again for LotR.  He can make beautiful drawings when he wants to, but has not done so for Star Wars unless it is an aftermarket card.  In his defense, he is probably giving Topps their money's worth, as I've heard the pay per sketch is pretty low.  However, I wouldn't want my name associated with drawings that look like some of the Heritage and Sith sketches.

I like the sketch card idea, however I really REALLY hope they do more for this set, I am just not willing to shell out $30-$50 for a box when all I have to look forward to is a sketch card (no offence Cynthia!!!!!) I really hope they get some autographs for the set....I know it would be harder now that the cast is all out doing other projects....but still. There are SO MANY cast members in the movie I would LOVE an autograph from.
