Welcome to The Forum Allison!!  Beautiful artwork by anyone's standard! Are you a Lord of the Rings fan and if so do you have a favorite character you like to create? I want to here and now take a minute to personally thank Cynthia Cummins, Cat Staggs, Grant Gould, and you Allison Sohn for creating some of the most beautiful and inspiring Lord of the Rings artwork I have seen. |

I'm a HUGE LOTR fan; I read the books ( a second edition box set dated 1965 that I still own) over and over as a child and a teenager. I think some of my favorite characters are Eowyn, Galadriel, and Samwise. I also feel that Peter Jackosn did as good a job as i coudl have ever wished for, bringing my favorite books to the big screen.....

wow... WOW. I cannot thank you all enough for the warm welcome! Here is a link to some more of my art. When I am not being a Star Wars nerd playing with my FX lightsaber, or a Tolkien fan reading my books and watching the films, swinging my light up FX Sting at the cats, I am a comic book nerd (now I know you are all creating a visual of me, and it's not very flattering...). This website is a free service that hosts comic art collections for both collectors and creators. Mine is a little of both; the stuff I have collected from other artists, as well as pin-up work of my own. I hope you all enjoy! http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryDetail.asp?GCat=672 |

I have another question for our artists - if we see a particular sketch we like, is it OK to ask the artist to do a replica? For example, I would love an exact copy of the Galadriel I mentioned earlier as its exactly what I am looking for, but it may be stuck inside a box for years before it turns up. I'm unlikely to pull it or buy it from Ebay. Would it be acceptable for me to ask the artist (Grant in this case) to draw an exact replica? I'm not sure of the protocol for sketch cards  It's perfectly ok to ask for whatever you like:) |

For our artists just curious which sketches you did for the set that you are most proud of. It goes without saying post the scan if you have one of the card. Maybe top 5 or 10.
I did one of Royd Tolkien as a Ranger that I just loved. My other favorite was Gandalf with the smoke ship. Other favorites....Gollum behind bars and my Balrog! |

Wow - I love the idea of Gandy and the smoke ship! I think these must be the ones you are talking about   Gandy looks a bit like Aeolus there  |

You are most welcome Grant. It is so cool to just see sketch cards like the two just posted by Roz & CC! I have noticed it is starting to slow down for new sketch cards on ebay. We are seeing the cards that did not sell being relisted and in most cases reduced. With 15,000 sketch cards out there we have seen only the tip of the ice berg! Who has all the rest? |
