SciFi and Fantasy Art: An old wizard

Done 1997. This is how I personally envision the typical 'wizard.' I think there's a trace of Gandalf(Lord of the Rings) here... Part of the Pan, Wraith, Wizard triplet I did.

I'm pretty certain it was Bilbo, right after Gandalf saved the dwarves from the three trolls. Actually, I rather like the 'Good morning' exchange... Always nice to see a Gandalfish picture! The robe seems wrong (for Gandalf, that is!), as does the staff, but you never did say it actually *was* Gandalf, eh? Nice picture all the same!

Wonderful picture! Does a real tribute to the "venerable wizard" paradigm! Keep it up, I'll check back later! Thanks!

and gandelf answers "looking ahead" - and what brought you back bilbo asks "looking behind" gandalf answers - one of my favorite bits of dialog in the whole tolkin's ring books - except come to think of it wasn't that frodo in the two towers - well it's been a while - looks a lot like i would think of him - also a bit like i think of my own fingol persona - if and when it should ever live that long ... ~12

This wizard flat-out RULES!!!! Oh wow...this IS gandalf, in my mind! Droppy, saggy, unassumuing, but full of power and sage advice! This is too cool, you are an awesome artist!

it does look like Gandelf, but, without the hat, it may also look like Albus Dumbledore (Harry Potter)

You've right. It looks like Gandalf, but there's nothing wrong in that^^,
