Ent Sketches
Some unpublished sketches from my Silmarillion Project (http://silmarillionproject.tumblr.com/), where I illustrate images for each chapter of J.R.R. Tolkien's Silmarillion.
People like to draw the Ents as living trees, and while that's pretty cool, I decided to go with Tolkien's words in The Two Towers, which describes them as smooth-skinned Trolls who seem to wear tree-bark as clothes.
Haven't worked on the project since earlier this year for time reasons, but I'll get around to more one of these days!

Man, I love your Silmarillion sketches, and would totally buy a set of prints for the paintings. Possibly several sets, so that I can decorate multiple rooms. The problem is, of course, that the Tolkien estate would come down on your backside like a hundred tonnes of bricks. :/
These remind me a lot of Froud's characters. Especially the little guy at the bottom. Thanks for posting!
I know, right? Here's hoping that's achievable, because I really do love working on these things. It also helps to have some non-DC projects on occasion to keep me fresh regarding Dark Science.
It would be great if you found some time to work on that again .. or on your Zelda in the Future project
