These are WIP adaptations of Frank Frazetta's Lord of the Rings. Wanted the image to work not just for one particular camera angle but for it to be viable in all views. The base mesh was created in Maya and then reposed and detailed in Zbrush. All sculpts are done with a mouse and missed the precision of a waccom.......hence some of the broken strokes as well.
Ane here is the masterpiece which was the source of inspiration as well as reference.
