"Crush that
riff-raff!
Smash, grab,
pinch, nab!
You go, my lad!
Ho ho, my lad!"


This is honestly just a quicky little experiment of mine. It's designed not only to test out a new sharpie-pen I got for Christmas, but also a chance for me to try for a style a bit different from my usual work; the texture-heavy style of Topcraft Animation seemed a good pick to help with that, and their razor-toothed Goblin designs from the "Hobbit" cartoon have always been one of my favorites in their body of work. :D

Ack! Now I have that song stuck in my head! I'm going to have nightmares now! But it's worth it. Excellent job on the drawing! :)

XD You have my sympathies; the scene where the Goblins first appear scared the ever-loving crap out of me as a kid. Very glad you approve of my take on it. :D

THIS IS A STYLE I REMEMBER HOLY SHIT. Nostalgia omfg. I think you handled it really well. Fuck, I think it's really spot on. :| I am teh impressed. The face details are outstanding, Goji <3 And Adoring the looming shadows of more in the way in the background.

It probably helps that Topcraft's "The Hobbit" movie was too important a part of my childhood NOT to have some influence on my style already. Thank you very much for the praise, and I'm SUPER happy you like it so much. <3

I love the detailing on this - the goblin's claws stand out in particular, looking worn but still sharp and deadly, and the ominous horde behind them looks perfect.

Thank you kindly; it was a lot of fun to play around with this heightened level of detail, actually, so I'm happy to hear you like how it looks. ^3^ :hug:
