Description
Hope this looks a little like him....
I started with Sydd's (RDNA) Nicolai texture, applied morphs to age him, rendered in Poser, applied the hair in postwork, and cloned the staff from a tree bark texture.

wow! looks just like him, amazing eyes and beard... can't wait to see him as Gandalf the White in Two Towers
one of the best artworks i've seen!
Wow,this is absolutely amazing...I love that beautiful white colour of his hair...magnificent work!!!
I finally got this image to load in.. it's kinda big for my tiny computer. But it was worth the wait. It is beautiful Lin. I think you should submit some of your work for Prints in the market place. :)
wow..this is incredible.....is he alive or not :) fantastic
Linda, this is absolutely FABULOUS!! Congratulations, I think this is about the most amazing portrait work I've seen in a while!
Linda - what magnificent work! I absolutely love it! Kev
it doesnt look very much like gandalf-sorry, but it is very good. i like the attention to detail very much, especially with the eyebrows and hand.
The thing I like best actually is the hand! How could i miss this??? Great!
Nice one.
Absolutely Amazing Artwork ! and thanks for posting the tutorial... You are a Master.....JLM
Gandalf's magic pales compaired to yours! You are AWSOME!
This is truly one of the most amazing images i've eva seen.well done,& thnx 4 the excellent hair tutorial.i aspire to be as great in this industry as you r!
just came from your hair tutorial - great work - incredible!!!
I found this while researching your hair tutorial. Just want to say this is a work of art. No doubt here.
Speechless. Everyone has said everything already but Wanna say that your art is very inspiring.
Incredibly impressive work; my only comments would be niggles based on the plugin. For instance, there's a point where the beard very slightly overlaps the staff; this is easily cloned out. Try applying a 1.2-point Gaussian across the image to soften the beard, it looks better that way. And finally, the face is a bit too clean to fit the hand. Apart from that... WOW!
I am new to all of this and just hope to be able to create something half as good as what this is.This pic really blows me away,Awesome!!!!
Makes me feel like a Hobbit
AWESOME!!!!!
Wow!!!!!!!
Seeing as no one has commented on this for a few months I will just drop you a note: This is incredible, as is all your work. I honestly think you are one of the most gifted artists I've seen in my 2 months of being a member here.
