    I do agree that the images are very close to the movies depiction, however they are also close to my own interpretation of what he would look like.  Just happy that he is finally in the game.

    Very well done, although I thought I read that they weren't going to use any artistic influence from the movies.
     
    Very nice nonetheless!
    I feel there are quite a few models copied almost direct from the movies.

    The Black Arrows in Monsterplay are the most obvious. I can't recall any Orc ( or Uruk's ) ever being described in the book that would fit the way they look.

    Still I agree that this looks just fine

    Please keep in mind the movies were based on the books. As far as i recall, Tolkin only described gollum one way.

    Even in "The hobbit" (Where the best discriptions can be found, its simmular.
