Just a pencil sketch of Gandalf. This is actually part of a montage of images but the other pictures aren't about fantasy, rather they're from other genres. The picture is part of a study for a sci-fi and fantasy convention for 2004. Pencils on tracing paper.

I love this! I saw it on the new pics page and it screamed Gandalf. You did an awesome job.

This one's my favorite. Simple, yet it captures the look of the favorite Istari from books as well as the 2001-2003 movie blockbusters...

This Gandalf pic is really good. He looks very mysterious and wise, and I think you've captured his character extremely well. The fact that it's in pencil defines the cloak and hat really well. You are a fantastic artist!

A verry good picture, Just the way I think of Gandalf when I read the books. Not the corrupted image the movies give you, keep it up. Way better then the CG´s.

Very nice... How long did you spend on it?

:-) Jay Javier replies: "Not much, I guess over a cup of coffee. It was based of a painting by John Howe. Just sketched a portion as part of a study for a montage."

Hi, the picture is awesome. I have a fantasy novel that is due to be released in April of 2009. I would love to use this pic inside the book as a chapter heading. It really fits one of the characters. Please understand this will be my first published novel. I cannot pay you. But I can credit you in the book and link back to your site from mine www.knowyourneed.com Please say yes. Thanks, Joe joeswope at knowyourneed.com
