One of the several fascinating characters who it's possible to find in 'The Lord of the Rings' is Gollum, an Hobbit of the Stoor strain, born in the Stoor settlement near the Gladden Fields. When the cousin Deagol found the OneRing Gollum murdered him for it. So was driven out the Stoor community and started to wander under the Misty Mountains, where he learned to love darkness and the moonlight, but to hate the light of the sun. Made a slave of the power and the will of the One Ring, whose he wasn't the lawful owner, acquired an innatural longevity but became a skeleton and repellent being. Nevertheless in Gollum was harboured a double personality, and sometimes the goodest side emerged, showing the continuous inner fight between the two personalities. In this study I tryed to rapresent the most human side of Gollum, catching him in a dreaming pose, entranced by the beautiful of the moon.

I don't know what these people mean when they say "REAL" Gollum pictures. Gollum is a made up character introduced to the world through a novel therefore the image of Gollum is open to interpretation and this picture is one reader's interpretation. There are as many versions of Gollum, Gandalf, Frodo and the rest as there are readers of the books.

What is the use of these negative comments? Personally, I admire Michele's drawing technique and his courage in drawing Tolkien's classic characters. I would like to have a hand at it myself but it's a difficult subject to approach for a broad range of reasons. Well done, Michele. Thank you for sharing your creations with us and I hope you keep drawing, to your heart's content.

I think golum is a very special and facnating creature. He suffered alot of pain and guilt. I personly like the name Golum better than smeggle. he was a very important characterin Lord Of The Rings. Andy Serkis did a outstanding unforgetable job of playing golum or smeggle. He had Talent, LOTS OF TALENT and the drive of the character inside of him. GO ANDY YOU ROCK!
I LOVE GOLUM He is ...... MY precious!

All of you teenager morons who decided to be critics...shut up!!! This is a good drawing...one u idiots could never do. I bet your mothers dont look half as good as gollum. ur obviously very naive if you think there's such thing as a "real Gollum". get a life, and stop searching for pictures of gollum on the internet...hes already on tv...no need to whack off to him online.

People have rather negative comments. I still think this picture is wonderful. It's nice when someone is brave enough to draw something other than what's on television and in the movies, even though the critisism they get for it isn't constructive at all. O_o' It's lovely to see fan-art that is actually based upon one's imagination and first impression.
