A coloured rendering of Fangorn, as I prefer that name for Treebeard.

Looove this. I imagined Treebeard having more browny colouring, and looking like an old man. But nonetheless as a picture of a Tree elemental / Ent / Whatever, this is great. Excellent detail.

:-) Alexander J. Harron replies: "I thought he did look like an old man... but then I read Swamp Thing a lot before Lord of the Rings, so I guess I had that figure in my head anyway..."

well, (saw my comment on the previous pic?) this one DOES rhyme with my image of an Ent - and it's of the same incredible quality. Love it, i do.
though, I do not think this Ent would be Fangorn, for I too think of Fangorn as very old, even for an Ent (stupid of course, for all Ents have been around since the beginning of time etc. - just like Tom Bombadil btw, think they like each other? no doubt. probably Tom even knows where the Ent-females have gone.) anyway, it's as close to perfect as one can get.

Very cool. I like.

Gee, talking about the dude... you are the dude! Great work here - you really have brought the old Fanga to life in this. Hmm, he doesn't look very happy though does he *remembers that he has just been chopping wood for the fire and backs away from Treebeard very carefully... then ruuuuns*

It is so hard to do ents like this...They are so hard to picture solidly and youve pulled it off spectacularly...now i know what to think about

This definetly looks like an ent that could mess up a troll bad. Good work.

Ehhhh,,.... Not to be to rough on you, because I like some of your work.... but for someone who complains about the innacracies of Peter Jackson, this is quite the interperitation of Treebeard. For one thing, he has no beard. or if he has one, it is barely visible, and hardly worth naming him for it. And those are fat legs. With no toes, which Tolkien specifically mentions as being seven on each foot.
I think we Tolkien geeks complain because Peter Jackson got to make the movie we all wanted to make, and he made it better than any of us could have.

I looked up the first description of Treebeard from LOTR. It’s too long to paste here, but I’ll provide a link to a Wikipedia page that has the text.
