Hello,

My name is Tiziano, I am one of the free-lance illustrators working with FFG, some of you may know me from the AGOT and CoC forums.

Over there I have the habit of posting my works for the community to see in big size as soon as my cards come out of non-disclosure, I'd like to keep the tradition over here too, and so, here is the art for my first Lord of the Rings LCG card to be released: Thorin Oakenshield.

Please click to enlarge.

Thorin at Bilbo's home. Very nice.

Thank you very much.

Amazing, look forward to seeing more.

 Looks good. And it's nice that FFG will let you know when it's okay to post this sort of thing.

... and Gandalf (Wand-Elf) just outside, maybe following regulations about smoking (pipe) in interior spaces.

I wish I had a fraction of your artistic talent.

What size are these before they scale them to fit on a card?

Aahh .... Cool. I didn't see that.

That looks fantastic! Glad to see the artists are doing Middle Earth justice!

Thank you, all. It's a real pleasure to be able to share my works with the community (more will come, either when they are spoiled or when the game will come out, I've 4 cards in the core set).

Indeed, that's one of the reasons i like working for them, they make my life easy with regard to NDA.

FFG requires them to be sent in at twice the printing size minimum, since I like to work big I paint them at 4134 px per side at 350 dpi and send them in at about 2200 px.

Thank you again, I must say that playing the demo I was stunned by the average level of the art, it's an honor to be in such company.

 I'm really liking the satiny finish apparent on the cloak, skin, and leather. It feels like it's adding a subdued gloss to the image. Feels tangible and and soft, which is a neat take on a gruff dwarf. Digging it, man.  Also, I like how you left the exterior uniformly washed out, but the colors and definition still exists. Way to direct focus!!

Simply wonderful,. Thanks

Wow, fantastic! Thanks for sharing. :)

Thanks for sharing; incredible work!!!

Just as good as your aGoT art!!!  :)

Hi,

what media did you use to paint it?

PS I'm getting into drawing chibis (as an extra cultural dip for my Japanese studies).
