Nov/Dec -Character-Cartoon-Ice Queen-Normal

I'm in

Had a lot of ideas...

1. Gandalf as Madonna
2. Gollum Captain of the Enterprise.
3. Orc runs for President.
4. Gollum at MadHatters tea party from Alice in Wonderland, 2d -3D look.

Would like to go with the latter. Mike would this be ok or is this fairy tale considered fantasy??

When I said fantasy, I was meaning the whole wizards/dragons, etc kind of fantasy. As the MadHatter is dressed more in the late 1800s-early 1900s dress, that should be fine.

Oh man those are good ideas! I really like Gollum as Captain Picard of Enterprise LOL! I think that would be hilarious just him alone looking or ehh his 'stare' look at the stars..

The Gollum at a Madhatter Tea party sounds really good too! I got that pictured in my head (I watch Alice and Wonderland alot), gollum and the mad hatter arguing over some stupid sht hehe!

Ill be waiting for your initial concepts and or models! Have fun!

Gandalf as Madonna, the idea does something kind of strange to my insides user added image

not that I'm against cross dressing, just trying to picture Gandalf gyrating like that gives me the heebeegeebees. Maybe you should go for it, funny and disturbing at the same time!

Love the idea of Gollum as the mad hatter, you could really go wild with that. Look forward to seeing what you choose user added image

Great ideas, I am with Chris on Gandalf as Madonna being the most bizarre thing I've heard, well since Howard's banana got breasts last month. Poor Gandalf - doomed to attend Rocky Horror show recovery group meetings until the end of his days.

Really look forward to seeing your stuff, whatever you choose - Gollum at the tea party sounds really mad, with hats!

Now I see why you needed a older naked person for a reference.

Great start, really capturing him!

You probably know this allready, but the bags under the eyes are stretching across his face instead of meeting the far corners.

Excellent modeling!
