I made this a couple of weeks ago, I think, but I still decided to upload it, because of its significance for me.

A Painter Classic image of an underwater scene. My first stab at sea life, so I guess it's not that bad.

I drew this because of LucasArts cancelling Sam & Max 2. Deemed a red herring, the adventure game genre is as good as dead, but it will strike back, killing LucasArts. Well, at least in this picture.

Okay, so first I drew the map in pencil (time-consuming, I know), and then I added the colouring and background on the computer. Not much else to say about this, really...

Okay, so this is that cool guy who makes sure the white tree doesn't walk away. If I would be able to get my hands on just one costume from the film, it would be this one, no doubt.

For those of you who have never been to the South Pole, where penguins live, this is what they're like in their natural habitat. Their environment is disturbed only by native fishermen and deranged tourists.

Okay, in my enthusiasm, I might have drawn a bit too much, but anyway, this is my interpretation of Radagst the Brown. In the back, Orthanc is visible. Oh, and also, his staff is leaning against some tree that isn't visible, while he is talking to the bird. I also gave him a nice sword.

Yes, boys and girls, even fish brush their teeth (while you're asleep). So keep your teeth clean, it's good for you.

Well, this is supposed to be Spunky from the wonderful show Rocko's Modern Life. It's far from perfect in my opinion, but the picture I used for reference was very small, so it's maybe not that bad.

Through Rohan over fen and field where the long grass grows
The West Wind comes walking, and about the walls it goes.
'What news from the West, O wandering wind, do you bring to me tonight?
Have you seen Boromir the Tall by moon or by starlight?'
'I saw him ride over seven streams, over waters wide and grey;
I saw him walk in empty lands, until he passed away
Into the shadows of the North. I saw him then no more.
The North Wind may have heard the horn of the son of Denethor.'
'O Boromir! From the high walls westward I looked afar,
But you came not from the empty lands where no men are.'
