This round will be about the two 'Blue' wizards from the lord of the rings universe. There were 5 istari wizards sent to middle earth Sauruman the white, Gandalf the grey, Radagast the brown, and the two blue wizards. They dont show up much in the books but there is quite the speculation of who and where they are. The two are "possibly" named Alatar and Pallando. Your goal is to design one or both of these characters. What makes them different from the other 3? This will be difficult because there is not much about them but keep in mind the description of them for the most part is blue robes, and old looking men.

More on the blue wizards here
and on the Istari themselves here

DEADLINE FEBRUARY 9th MIDNIGHT CST

Lot's of really cool images so far.
Thought I would get in on it.

Quick concept of the overall shape of the wizzies for me.

Canaan · 02-06-2013, 10:12 PM

A lot of the stuff here is looking amazing, just couldn't resist in taking part.

It's a pretty rough start

neilk · 02-07-2013, 03:04 AM

@Kaffer :: impressive fireworks...I wonder what they are doing?
@Canaan :: Good preliminary work. Looking forward to seeing the rendered version.

Some awesome stuff, all. I especially like @Notpill's.

Sorry for not posting more of my WIPs through the weeks... I'll be sure to do better in the future. Here are both the WIPs and the final.

I felt the blue wizards from LOTR could be quite a bit different from Gandalf and the others featured in the movies, in that they are rumored to have traveled East into battle. Therefore, I wanted to showcase this through more warrior-armor for at least one character design. The other, I felt could be a more frail character interpretation for contrast.
