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

Oooooh!!! Looks like a good opportunity to flex those character desgning muscles!!

augustors · 11:02 PM

Developing some ideas for these 2 little guys... Have in mind, that this is my first time in digital art!

Any help ?

Refined it a bit to keep the idea. I might go further with it, we'll see what time allows.

Hi guys looking good. I started on my first wizard. I'm pretty happy with the colors, now I'll start adding more details. I'm also going to make him create figures out of the smoke from his pipe, like what Gandalf likes doing

madowlkid · 01-30-2013, 04:53 AM

Imagine this, then please can you draw it...

The two blue wizards are strange in that their life cycle bonds both their existences. While one ages the other grows younger, in times they appear as an old man caring for a baby, at other times they look like identical middle aged men. As they reach the end and start of each others life, the reverse effect happens.

Can somebody draw a really old blue wizard and then a baby wizard, or maybe some representation of a cycle to depict their connection.

Maybe the blue wizards weren't heard of because during there quest one got really old while the other turned into a baby.

Blue wizards sometimes have stars on their cloaks. So maybe the aging phenomena can represent how stars rotate around one another sometimes ( our sun apparently has one called the dead star)

Hi pals

I'm not into fantasy at all but it's been so long since the last challenge so I give it a try.
This is my quickie

project_Zero · 01-31-2013, 02:01 AM

My first wizard is around 90% done now. I'm going to add some more smaller details such as ornaments in some areas of his robe.

ChrisSteiger · 03:16 AM

My first time doing character forge. Thought I'd give it a whirl. This is the first rendition of one of the blue wizards.
