The Mouth of Sauron (image)

From Lord of the Rings. Always suspected this guy had an interesting backstory. Resurrected the image from the delete folder,still not entirely happy with it.

Down In The Dark Woods (image)

Down in the Dark Woods

Based on the song of the same name by the UK band Babble. Little taster from a joint project we're working on

Photoshop, 3d, photo manipulation.

The song can be heard here

I created these guys for a big Lord of the Rings battle scene I'm working on - this one started out as a simple test for the horsemen but kind of got carried away!

S.O.

Your Significant Other, you introduce her
Not your lover
Your partner
Your friend

Your Significant Other
To differentiate, presumably,
From your insignificant ex

Her eyes flash wary and warning.
Throughout the evening,
She reveals the lies in smiles

You miss the significance

This one will rip out your heart.

Newblood

Womb ripped open,
Light split the comfort of Redhell
And Newblood was called.

Sound and sight, both blurred,
Then the stench
The reek of decaying things
Walking and talking and prodding and poking

Newblood was taken and shaken
And passed fit for purpose

With the pain of rebirth still fresh
With the awful realisation of all still to come

Newblood sucked his thumb.

Cure for Insomnia

I slept with my head at the foot of the bed
And woke up this morning to stand on my head
The blood rush I got was like no other feeling
So tonight I will sleep
Hung by feet
From the ceiling
