SciFi and Fantasy Art: The Palantír

This is my interpretation of the scene from Two Towers where Pippin steals the palantír and gazes into it. I feel that this captures the emotion of the scene even if it's not exactly faithful to the book. Anyway here it is. Pencil 9'X12'  2003

How can you call yourself a fan if you haven't even read the books? (Not you Ross, the person CLAIMING to be a fan of the Lord of the RIngs above)

Wow. to tow things.
1. Your picture is amazing! It is actually possible to sense some of the sheer fright coursing thorough poor little Pip. I love Pippin.
and of course 2. Do people not read in this world anymore? Yes, she probably did mean The Two Towers. The movies were good--but the book was first.

Wow. That's really... nifty. One has to feel sorry for Pippin.

Whoa. I love his expression, it's a bit of an "oh crap..." sort of look. I really like the shading and details in this pic, don't worry that it's not loyal to the book (lord knows the films sometimes weren't). Great job!

Absolutely fabulous. I saw a lot of comments about the eye, but I disagree with most of them. I think the eye is right. The characters in the background are amazing, and I adore the expression on Pippin's face. Marvelous work.

About that comment that the eye should not be changed , it very well should be. The real one is slitted , and fiery.

Superawesomne. My only complaint is the hands reaching are.. really human, and not incredibly frightening like the other bits.
